Energy conservation is the most important tool for reducing costly energy consumption and this device is an economical and effective tool as the first step in conservation. It enables a user to determine the amount of electricity a device is using. from Amazon.com What it does not provide is usage patterns. To get a more precise picture of usage, a logging multimeter or some other instrument will be needed, at a much higher price. One example is the Fluke 287, Fluke 287 True-rms Electronics Logging, W/ Trend Capture which is unfortunately about twenty times more expensive than the P3. And one has to be comfortable with hooking up probes to live voltage when using equipment like that. from Amazon.com I bought this neat gadget so that I could make it better. I turned my Kill-a-Watt into a Tweet-a-watt. [...]I turned it into a wireless monitor that talks to my PC. from Amazon.com In preparation to purchase an emergency home generator I wanted to assure that I would buy enough emergency power without going overboard. After reviewing several different testers I decided on the Kill A Watt P3. It works flawlessly and as advertised. from Amazon.com Plugging the device into a wall outlet takes up both outlets. If they would have simply offset the prongs a half inch closer to the edge you would have been able to use the other outlet. from Amazon.com P3 International P4400 Kill A Watt Electricity Usage MonitorMy husband loves this tool, wishes he'd known about it earlier. Says it works great. from Amazon.com The Kill a Watt is a lot easier to read if you use some kind of heavy duty extension cord. The orientation of the grounded outlet forced me to read upside down without one. from Amazon.com I first read about this product in Consumer Reports magazine and decided to try it and see how my electric bill got its size. This device easily helps you find out the KWH of all sorts of electrical appliances. from Amazon.com The Kill-A-Watt is a basic monitor to primarily assess A/C current consumption (wattage) of household type appliances. The unit works very well. from Amazon.com Discussing with a friend, extrapolating, I could drop consumption by $100/month if I get radiant barrier installed in my attic (ie, thick aluminum foil). This all seems rambly but it's to take you through the process. Honestly, I wouldn't know to focus on this if I hadn't run around with the Kill-A-Watt and assessed power consumption. Suddently, $280 electric bill seems like something maybe I can tackle - decrease computing power load and install radiant barrier, and I should make back the $$ in a year. from Amazon.com
