Watt Meter Power Meter Plug Home Electricity Usage Monitor, Electrical Usage Monitor Consumption, Energy Voltage Amps Kill Meter Tester

First off, I own multiple Klein and Fluke testers. I still use these for multiple applications. Each of these cost in the excess of $ 100.00. I always need to remove their batteries so that the batteries don't leak and destroy the tool. It's a "best practice" thing.Here's the cool things about this tool, it's inexpensive and it doesn't take batteries. You plug into a socket, and it's powered automatically. I checked it for accuracy against both my Klein multimeter, Klein socket tester, and Fluke inductive testers. It was dead on for all measurements: Volts, Amps, Watts, etc.Here's the question: Why would I use this if I wave the other meters? Well. this is quick and easy, and I hate reinstalling batteries in each of the other devices.If I have multiple circuits to check or troubleshoot, I'll beak out the Klein and Fluke tools, but if I only have a couple of things to check or I didn't have multiple hundreds of dollars to spend, this tool is a very reasonable substitute.The only drawback that i can see, is that this tester resets back to W (watts) every time it's unplugged. It's a small annoyance to cycle to one of the other measurements. It only takes a few seconds, but it's an annoyance.Note: The directions are a little weak. To cycle what is being measured, you hold down the (M) button for about 5 seconds, the screen will flash, then tap the (M) button again until you see the proper field you want to be measured. It only takes a few seconds.I would definitely recommend this tool.

I have always been curious about what different electrical items in my house were drawing and this solved that as I was able to see what every plug item in the house pulls. Probably the biggest surprise was the OLED tv which is all over the place power wise depending on how bright the scenes are, anywhere from 65 to 230 watts depending how bright the picture is at that instant, who knew? My neighbours were all curious about their houses as well so they all borrowed it. It’s been around the street so to speak!

All I ever wanted to know was the draw from whatever I plugged into an outlet. This reader is super easy to read. The backlight turns off after 20 seconds or you can press any button to turn it off or on. It is exactly what I wanted. Great buy.

Easy to read. Helped me test the true wattage of the garden grow lights that I purchased on Amazon. Seems very accurate according to stated wattage on lights. Also plan to use to see the cost of our freeze dryer cycles. Pretty useful for monitoring energy usage. Think it would be helpful in an off-grid situation to monitor energy usage.

Easy to use and program, great tool if you want to monitor the consumption.
