P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage Monitor Reviews
This is a very informative tool. We ordered two, one for ourselves and one for a gift. It is easy to use and will help us make decisions about how we use our electrical products. Highly recommend. We expect to minimize our use of electricity and thus save money.
I purchsed this item in July 2008; after many months of watching my appliances & devices, I've cut my electric bill by about 35%. I'd recommend doing just that on refrigerators; since they cycle on/off constantly throughout the day, You'll not have to *guess* how much it runs, or if your measure with the kill a watt was when the compressor was off; and have a false sense that it's a saver. My refrigerator I replaced as a result of using this method, it used enough in a month to warrant replacing with a new model; and will pay for itself in about 8 months from the energy savings and the bright side, I now have an ice maker. If you have an appliance that you wonder about, you can leave it plugged into the kill a watt; and allow it to log usage this is helpful in determining as in my case if an appliance is just so old that it's an energy hog. No issues with the device, just plug in and go.
Works well, look for better prices on other sites, I've seen it for $16. It only works for 110-120VAC, not for 220-240VAC. 1. When plugged into a double outlet wall plug, it is so large that it will not allow anything else to be plugged in on the other socket. 2. There are 2 problems with the Kill-A-Watt:. This is a simple & affordable unit that you plug your 120v appliances into and get various electrical information.
The only problem I have with this device is that the screen, despite the large size of the numbers, is difficult to read due to really low contrast. This is really hard to do when you have baseboard-mounted outlets like I have. At any rate, better screen contrast and a back-light would make this a perfect little power monitoring tool. This is a great little device with a lot of features for the price. I bought the device to see how much power my 40" LCD tv, amp, and PS3 were drawing. You have to view it from just the right angle, and usually with the aid of a flashlight. I would be curious to know if this screen contrast issue is a common problem, or if I may have a defective unit.
Great product for determining which appliances are the most costly to operate. Very reasonably priced,fast delivery.
