Amazing:
First off, I purchased this from Radio Shack and not Amazon for about $24.99 plus tax. The knowledge this product will save me $158.40 a year based on $0.12 a kWh just on what I learned about my computer. My computer's surge protector used .11 kWh in 44 minutes in stand by mode. That's about 110 kWh in a month or about $13.20 a month. I mean come on! I have had my computer on stand by mode for at least 9 years! That is $1425!!!! Having a tool like this is amazing and incredibly money saving. If... more info
Alot of info for a small price:
This unit works great, it will let you know how much energy you are using when the unit is off, or working at full load. I worked in the electronic industry for 36 years, this unit is as good as some of the voltage analyzers I worked with that cost a thousand dollars!

Fantastic device. The first appliance I tested was my 30 year old Amana 13 cubic foot upright deep freeze. After three days it had used only three KWH. Convinced me there was no need to spend a lot of money to replace it while trying to reduce operating cost. It's on loan to a friend right now and he's thinking of buying one for himself. When I get mine back I'll be checking everything that's plugged in.
Best Money I have spent on Amazon:

Some things are just for infomational purposes because I can't unplug them(i.e. Refridgerator) and others are devices where we can change our habits some and start savinfg some real money every month. Pros: Easy to use, inexpensive, small profile, Cons: Setting disapear when unplugged, zero directions I think that the company that made this unit could be more helpful if they... more info
