 Great tool June 30, 2008

Quick delivery. Great tool. Used daily to track energy usage by my Zenn Electric Vehicle. Displays Kilowatts used, current levels, and more. Also used to track usage by portable AC unit. Good to know how much electricity is being used.

our electric company has raised our rate a penny per kilo watt hour. This dose not sound like much but if my TV uses 200 kw an hour then it cost me $2 to watch 2 hours!
This Kill-A-Watt reader is great for showing me where my power hogs are in the house.
The only problem I have with it is that it was a little hard to understand. I wish that the instructions were easier to read and understand what the numbers mean.
This reader showed me that my energy saving light bulbs still rack up a lot of power! and so dose my laptop which I was always told used a LOT less power then a desk top.

The Kill-o-watt is a handy little tool for figuring out what appliances are soaking up power and driving up our power bill. Well worth the cost and interesting just to see, for example, how much things like cable boxes and DVD players consume when passive.

It is easy to use and provides various tests (volt, amp, watt, Hz, KWH); and is allowing me to check devices. Old refrigerator's power requirements, computer power drain, etc.
Easily discover true electricity use July 15, 2008

The Kill A Watt meter is easy to use, just plug it in and then plug in the appliance to be tested for electric use. Findings: My 600 watt coffee maker actually draws 820 watts, a consideration when I have to use a back up generator after a hurricane. Good stuff: my new desktop computer only draws 1 watt on stand-by, compared to my older desktop which draws 20 watts. Really great news: my full size refrigerator only draws 120 watts with the door closed, so I will be easily able to run it on a generator. Also, the unit can be left for 24 hours to measure a day's worth of usage and figure the monthly cost. It shows volts, amps, watts, frequency, and kwh used. This meter will help find energy wasters. I recommend it.
