Kill A Watt Electricity Monitor

The Kill A Watt electricity monitor shows you how many watts your appliance is using and how much it is costing you. It can help you identify energy inefficient appliances, make decisions whether to leaving something on standby or turn it off completely, and generally find ways to save money.

Kill A Watt Electricity Monitor P4460

What is it? The Kill A Watt P4460 is an electricity usage monitor which measures the electricity consumption and calculates the operating costs of any household appliance that can be plugged into a normal electric outlet. In addition it can calculate projected costs by hour, day, week, month or year without you having to do any messy maths. All you need to do is to input your electric rate, and it does the rest for you. It can't be easier.

How do you use it? Connect your household appliance to the electricity monitor. Then plug the monitor into a wall outlet, input your electric rate and that is it. You can usually find your electric rate on your utility bill or ring your utility's customer service.

What are the features? The Kill A Watt Electricity Monitor P4460

• has a large LCD display,
• allows you to input electric rate which it uses to automatically calculate costs,
• works out the projected costs by hour, day, week, month or year,
• allows you to cycle through the following: Volts, Current, Watts, Frequency, Power Factor and VA,
• shows you the electric rate, kilowatt-hr, elapsed time,
• retains accumulated measurements (elapsed time, kilowatt-hr, actual total cost) when power is interrupted.

In case you are wondering what the differences between this P4460 model and the cheaper P4400 model are, here they are. There are actually two main differences.

• The cheaper P4400 does not allow you to input rate, which means it cannot calculate the actual dollar costs of your appliance. You most likely need to use a spreadsheet and set up some formulae to calculate the costs for yourself. This can be an error prone process, especially if you are not mathematically inclined. It is quite easy to get the calculation wrong.
• The P4400 unit also does not retain accumulated measurements when power is interrupted e.g. when you take the unit from one outlet to another outlet.

The cost calculation in the P4460 model is a killer feature. It is well worth the price difference as it saves you time, hassle and potential errors. Now all you need to do is take a glance and you know how much the appliance is costing you.

With this household gadget, measuring electricity usage becomes even fun. You are likely to make many surprising discoveries about the electricity consumption patterns of your appliances. This product has received excellent customer reviews. Many reviewers mentioned how this little gadget has helped them save money.

When you save on electricity, the world's energy reserves are conserved and you reduce your bills. It is a win-win situation for everybody!
