I bought this for my Dad and he loves it! He started using it right away. It is easy to use and is pretty interesting! It seems to work really well.

Kill-a-Watt P4460: For about $30 this product is a terrific value. It is a more advanced version of the P4400 "Kill-a-Watt" which I also own. It does everything the P4400 does (volts, amps, watts, KWH, VA, PF, Hz, & elapsed time), but in addition, it has an internal "power-off" memory, and a KWH cost calculator (enter your specific KWH rate and it will calculate actual dollar cost). 120 VAC only, 15 amps maximum. I've had my P4400 for over a year and it works perfectly. A very well made device. I strongly recommend it. Some technical knowledge is suggected. The only improvements I can suggest to this device is the addition of a short power input cord and a illuminated display.
Love it, love it, love it! (2008-12-28) Rating: 5/5
After inspecting the household electricity usage with this gadget and making some changes, our electricity bill went from $300 to $160 in ONE MONTH! We were such energy wastrels, and didn't even know it! I highly recommend getting one and tracking down those WATTS!

This is a great product. Plug it in and it works. I have created a monster with my husband who is using it on everything in the house from electric blankets to the refrigerator. It is very interesting to see what uses the most electricity (and money!)
Kill-A-Watt Does Just What It Claims (2008-12-26) Rating: 5/5
I received my electric bill a couple of months ago and nearly fainted due to the fact that it had more than doubled! I had seen one of these gadgets somewhere before, but sloughed it off as something I didn't require. I was wrong! Since the power company increased the base price for killowatts lately as well, I decided to do an Internet search and find the Kill-A-Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor. As usual, I quickly found it at Amazon.com, with several choices of vendors and prices. I found the EZ model which is the most bang for the buck. Simply put, I was able to enter the exact amount my power company is charging per killowatt hour, and discover just which appliances in my home were the most cost efficent to run. I was also able to see which appliances were the energy sucking culprits that caused such an increase in my power bill! The unit displays the daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly cost to run electric appliances. The device also takes into consideration the idle periods in which appliances are not being used. I used a power strip and attached many of my appliances to it. With the Kill-A-Watt installed before all of them, I was able to get a realistic idea as to the consumption of certain key appliances operating in unison on a monthly basis, factoring in their idle periods as well. All in all, this device is very efficent, and is a MUST in penny-pinching households such as mine. The price range for the same exact unit varies greatly, so be careful. For spending around $30.00 at Amazon.com, I will have saved hundreds of dollars of electricity costs in the year to come.
