Rating:  - Kill-A-Watt Display did not workWhile monitoring electrical usage is a great idea, this product clearly did not work. Display is very dark. Could not read the results. After contact with the manufacturer tech, the only help they could give me was to send it back. Rating:  - It does the jobThe meter gives readings in whole watts with easily read numbers. The displayed value seems to change quickly to match changes in energy use. I was able to quickly learn about the energy use of computer stuff and appliances in our home. Recommended. Rating: - cool itemthis thing is pretty cool. it doesnt automatically tell you how much kilowat hours something will use, but its easy to just plug it in for an hour and take the number and multiply it yourself to get the desired information. it is definentely worth buying if your bastard roommate is constantly accusing you of high power bills when you know your computer doesnt use that much energy. (it was his huge big screen TV in the living room plus the xbox 360 and surround sound). Rating: - Killawatt The vender delivered very quickly and the item works as expected. I'd purchase again from this person without hesitation. Rating: - The DeciderI purchased the Kill A Watt meter after reading about it in several publications and on some energy use websites. Already, it has shown that we need to purchase a new freezer as our 30-year old model is using a lot of electricity! We are currently evaluating our refrigerator. This is a great tool for anyone wanting to evaluate appliance efficiency. I plan to loan it to friends after we are finished.
