Spotlight customer reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: It does the job... Comment: It works as excepted.
This one doesn't keep data after being disconnected. If you need such feature you should get the P4600 model. Customer Rating: Summary: excellent resource for saving money Comment: Great product and easy to use. I learned quickly how much power my AC and rotisserie grill uses. Some things are worth unplugging at night...others aren't. Highly recommended. Customer Rating: Summary: Useful, but awkward Comment: Device needs a backlit LCD and an integral stubby extension.Is hard to read display in shade. Hard to connect devices to it in difficult to reach receptacles. Wattage display not stable. Easier to read amps and multiply by volts for correct wattage. Otherwise, good value for the price. Customer Rating: Summary: Watt is that appliance doing? Comment: It seems that everyone is trying to cut their power usage, and I'm no exception. This little device is about as simple to operate as it gets. Just plug it in and let it work for a day or so. It gives you all the electrical data you can use and with a spreadsheet and your utility bill, you can quickly see which appliance is hogging the meter.
Be warned, however, that the Kill A Watt will not work on your 220 volt appliances like water heaters and dryers. For that you will have to read the specs and do some crystal ball work.
My only criticism of the device is that when you unplug it all the collected data is lost. A battery backup for the data would be nice.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great energy monitoring product can lead to energy savings Comment: Allows one to find out how much energy is being used by the various 120v appliances around the house (both while on and 'off'), then come up with strategies to reduce energy usage (and bills).
This product allowed me to identify electronic products to be retired, replaced, used less, unplugged when not in use, and/or put timers on so that my energy use (and energy bill) can go down. Some devices draw power even when you have the power switched off, this device can help you identify such devices and then implement appropriate strategies given your needs.
