I purchased the Kill A Watt to find out where we could try to save energy costs. I spent a few days plugging different appliances into the Kill A Watt and found many areas where we were just throwing money away. It was very easy to use. The only "complaint" I would have is really just an inconvenience in being able to read the device in some places that are hard to get to. I ended up just bringing an extension cord around the house to the different areas so I would be able to access the buttons on the Kill A Watt and read the display more easily. I expect to recuperate the cost of this item within the first month of making changes based on the readouts - can't wait for my electric bill next month!
Rating: - Frustrating design, poorly made
Poorly made... mine had a defective LCD display right out of the package.
Bad design - because of the way they shaped the device, it will cover BOTH of the outlets in a standard wall socket. Had they moved the plug part on the back an EIGHTH of an inch lower, it would have been fine, leaving the other outlet free. Incredibly frustrating... want to measure one device when there's two things plugged into an outlet? Sorry, you're out of luck... you have to move other devices to other outlets in your room which can be really inconvenient, if not impossible.
And as others have pointed out, it's virtually impossible to read the UNLIT display... and it goes blank when you pull it out of the wall since they didn't include a battery backup.
All-in-all, a very frustrating product not worth the money.

helps identify both cost but also the carbon footprint of the things we use everyday. A great "green" tool.
Rating: - Kill A Watt
Amazon had the best price and the item works better than expected. You gotta have data to be able to analyze and adjust your electrical consumption. Kill a Watt provides data. Quickly tells you hourly, weekly, monthly and yearly cost to run an electrical item. Get yourself a short extention cord to prevent bending down to floor to see info on screen.
