Upgraded Watt Meter Power Meter Plug Home Energy Monitor Electricity Usage Monitor, Electrical Usage Monitor, Energy Voltage Amps Meter Tester with Backlight, Overload Protection, 8 Display Modes

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.

Only had it a day but so far I'm really impressed. It has a nice large display that is clear and easily readable. The backlight is bright and provides excellent legibility. Easily programable and has all the features you'd want in a power meter at a very reasonable price. Highly recommend this one!

Alright, so I got myself one of these simple watt meters, and honestly, it's been such an eye-opener for understanding my electricity use! You just plug your appliance into it, then plug the meter into the wall, and it instantly shows you how much power (watts) it's drawing. I used it on everything from my gaming PC to my fridge, and it was fascinating to see the actual consumption. It's a super easy way to identify those sneaky power hogs in your home. If you're trying to be more energy-efficient or just curious about your gadgets' consumption, this little device is a must-have for basic energy auditing. Simple to use, and really useful for getting a handle on your bills!

Works well. The fact that it lights up and has very visible numbers is great, since other models are hard to read (especially if plugged into an outlet near the floor). I will need to re-read the documentation to find out how to reset the kWh to 0.

Very easy to use. Good product for the price. I would be a repeat customer.

Working as expected.

Item works but has a scratch across the screen
