good idea lousy design November 3, 2008 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
it sounds great and I really wanted to use it. we all should do as much as we can to save energy. The product promises to tell you how much energy diferent appliances etc. use, and you get the impression you can zoom around the house easily getting readings and decide what are the energy hogs. Instead it is very hard to set up or figure out so you can get started and once you know how to use it it is difficult to plug in and use. The instructions are confusing. In short unless you are willing to spend hours figuring it out and then trying to plug it in to corners where it doesn't fit, it is a waste of time and money.
Great meter! November 2, 2008 Does what it says with a solid build. Some room for improvements. (I would like a backlight button and display when unplugged button) But I'm very happy with the unit.
Kill A Watt meter October 20, 2008 The P3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor is a very nice tool. The $35 that I paid is a little more than I had hoped, but not too bad. The unit seems to be running well as I've been using it for a month now. Unfortunately, I have nothing to compare it with. I looked at Lowes, Home Depot and Menards and couldn't find any such device. So far, I like what I see, and I would recommend this to someone needing a Watt meter. As far as the actual order, I am very pleased how well ordering this online from Amazon was. I orderd Sunday night and received it via the cheapest ground rate Wednesday afternoon. Overall a very good experience.

Good product. When they say "any" appliance they mean one that uses less than 15 amps. Nowhere in the description does it mention this limitation. Buy a flashlight and a power strip for optimum performance. Keep instructions handy.
great purchase helps energy reality October 12, 2008 3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I bought the Kill-A-Watt EZ to better understand where my electrical energy $$ were being used. While there were some surprises, good and bad, what this device really helped me do was to take a critical look at what wastes my money. A nice surprise was my fairly new refridgerator (4 to 5 yr old Sears); it only costs $65.00 per year. Another surprise, a bad one, was how much it costs to have my VCR, TV, DVD, and cable box turned off but lights or LEDs still on; $36.00 per year. I now have a surge protector and turn everything off at bedtime. Lights and lamps can be a big energy waster. If you pay 10 cents per killowatt it means for every 10 hours a 100watt lamp is on it costs you 10 cents. The new CFL bulbs reduce that cost to 3 cents. Running a faucet till the water is hot, mainly out of habit, is a great waste of money, especially when cold water hand washing works just fine. The main point is that having this meter answers questions and makes you think about your energy use and waste. I like everything about this Kill-A-Watt meter except the display could be a little brighter, hence only a 4-star rating. I recommend it for many reasons.
