5.0 out of 5 stars Simple to use, accurate power/energy measurements, 21 Sep 2008
By Howard Wright (Malvern, Worcs. United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This energy and power monitor does what it says and does it pretty well. I tried two different plug-in meters and this one was by far the best.

I didn't bother with any of the devices that are attached to the live cable next to the house's main electricity meter, as these can't measure actual power consumed (i.e. what you're billed for). Only plug-in meters can give you an accurate measure of this, though of course you can't use them to directly measure e.g. showers or cookers as they don't have a plug (with a little effort though, you can use the meter to work out how much energy one revolution of your normal electricity meter corresponds to, which you can then use to measure consumption for items like showers that don't have a plug).

The meter is able to measure low currents and low powers fairly well, so low-consumption appliances or devices on standby can be measured accurately (unlike the other meter I tried: Power & Energy Monitor by Brennenstuhl). It measures current (A), actual power (W), apparent power (W), power factor, total energy (kWh) and usage time, and you can view any of these values within one or two button presses (some buttons toggle between two measures). The usage time measured doesn't depend on the current drawn by the appliance you're measuring, so for fridges/freezers that switch on and off, you see the total usage time which makes it easy to work out typical (average) power consumed.

The meter doesn't have batteries, so you have to read the measurements while it's plugged in. This is rarely a big problem, but occasionally you might have to get under a desk to get to the plug socket and the meter (you can always use an extension lead to help with this).

All the measurements are updated about every second, so you can see how power usage varies for things like TVs and PCs. Power values are shown to the nearest Watt, and the meter seems to give reliable readings at the bottom end of the range (1-5W). You can even look at apparent power and the power factor to get an estimated value of actual power that's not rounded up (e.g. apparent power of 3W, power factor 0.5 means actual power is 1.5). Measuring a low-energy light bulb rated at 11W gave an actual power reading of 11W, so it seems to give accurate readings. After measuring all appliances in the house, estimating power usage for the cooker/shower and estimating the amount of time each item is used on average, I got a total figure that matched well with our actual average daily usage. It was then easy to see how energy could be saved by using some appliances more carefully and by cutting down on standby.

Overall: a useful tool for measuring the power used by household appliances (when active or on standby), easy to use, accurate measurements of actual power consumed (including low currents/powers). Ideal for identifying the most energy-greedy appliances, and for working out where energy savings can be made.

4.0 out of 5 stars Useful device but no memory, 24 Mar 2008
By Mr. James Morrison "itserf" (Stornoway, Scotland) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
A useful meter for measuring electricity use on a device basis. Its interesting to compare different heaters, computers there can be significant differences between different models. For example a 14" Sony ~35 watts while a 17" Dell laptop is ~65 watts

Although if you unplug the monitor you lose the total kwh so be sure to plug it into an easily visible socket, there are more expensive meters which have a small watch battery to store the total kwh.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Device, 2 Jan 2008
By Paul (Hertfordshire UK) - See all my reviews
This Power meter tells you, the electrical current (in amps with 2 decimal places), voltage, power factor, frequency (in HZ), watts and KWhs used. I find it quite useful. I was able to reduce the standby power used by my PC. I was also able to upgrade my video card and save about 10 watts compared to my old card.

It was interesting to see that on standby, my microwave oven uses about 0.4A, but the power factor is so low that only 4W is actually consumed.

Examples of use:
1. Plug in your Combination microwave oven. Cook your favorite dish, see the exact KWhs consumed to two decimal places. You quickly see that the cost of electricity is typically 2% to 5% of the cost of the food.

2. A device consuming 10 Watts in standby is costing about £6 per year at 8p/kwh. But some older devices use 40 Watts in standby mode. It is as well to know if this is the case.

3. How much does energy does the pond pump or the dehumidifier really use?

4. How much energy does your router consume?

5. How much energy do you really save at 30C compared to 40C in your washing machine?

To me, as a physicist, most of the global warming scare stories are as credible as the book of Genesis, but wasting resources is silly and this device lets you quickly make informed choices. It's one disadvantage is that you must disconnect and reconnect your device in order to measure the consumption.
