Compared to the regular model, the EZ version features a built in usage calculator that'll tell you exactly how much your devices are going to cost you. Pressing the up and down buttons cycle through the various settings to show pricing by year, month, week, day, and hour. Pressing the menu button goes through your set rate, total usage, and elapsed time. Before measuring a new device make sure to hold the reset button to clear previous usage data.
Over the last few weeks I've been testing other devices around my house to see which ones still use power while turned off. One of the primary culprits was out Bell Sattelite TV reciever. While off, it uses 13 watts. Over time this adds up, and across 3 TVs, it's a decent amount of power being wasted every day.
Overall, the Kill-A-Watt has been a pretty useful device around our house. I've used it mostly to see which devices are using energy while turned off and finding ways to save power by using timers and outlet switches where necessary. I think it's going to be really useful for us this winter since we get billed more per kilo watt hour when the temperature drops below negative 12 degrees. Knowing which devices are inefficient and use tons of power can easily help reduce energy bills.
Now in terms of upgrading to the EZ version over the regular version, I think it's a worthwhile investment to have a device that calculates everything for you. It saves a lot of time, and it more accurate for devices that have weird duty cycles. For example, a soldering iron might use a lot of power to turn on, but then only uses a little power to reheat the tip needs to. In this case, leaving the kill a watt on for an hour will really give you an accurate projection of what the device will actually cost you.
When I got it back , I turned it up to were I thought it was before .. but not so . with in 3 days of out power outage .. it fried my microwave , because it was not putting out 60hz .
I bought this P3 .. ran my generator and plugged it in a wall plug in my house . the meter said 42hz . So I was was able to adjust it to run at 60hz .. in my house .
Great meter , it does a whole lot more that what I wanted it for . BUY ONE !!!
minutes with the lights turned off when I park it for the night in winter.
I am somewhat obsessed in tracking down and finding unwanted and phantom electric usage around the house. With the rising cost of energy, I am working on justify moving to a more renewable energy source, but first I need to understand how I use energy. That way, I can determine grid-tie or off-grid approach is better. Or simply, to supplement during power outages.
This device is basic, but does exactly what you need. The only drawback is that you need to keep it plugged in to check all the measurements as it has no “off power” memory like its bigger (more expensive) brother. The EZ model. But, I did not see a need for the increase cost, and as I understand, you still need to plug that one back in in order to retrieve the data anyway.
Usage is simply, though some tips.
1) Plug the device you want to measure into the Kill-A-Watt monitor first, then into the outlet. The monitor will start recording as soon as it is plugged in. You may only be talking a couple of seconds, but sometimes I find it just made things easier to do in the end.
2) The plug fit on the monitor is a little “snug”. Part of the reason I plug the appliance into the monitor first. That way I am not fussing when reaching into those hard to reach areas.
3) If you are just wanting the standard Watt/kWh usage (like say for your router/modem, coffee machine or TV when in power on state). Do wait until the appliance has completed its power-up before taking a reading. However, remember that in order to get a true kWh reading, you are best to let it monitor for a full 24 hours. This way you know what a full day costs (in terms of kWh), and you can then average what an hourly kWh cost would be if desired.
4) Can either plug a power strip into it, or it into a power strip. If you have multiple devices attached to a power strip, you can plug that power strip into the monitor and it will monitor total watts. Handy when you have a setup where all devices are typically on at one time (ie: your office computer, router, monitor, printer, etc..). Then you will know the total power used. However, if you curious, you can plug the individual devices into the monitor and then it into the power strip. This is handy if you have a power strip to help reach that hard-to-reach outlet. This may depend on the power strip, but in my case, the sum of individual usage _did_ equal the total power strip usage (ie: power strip did not add anything, or was negligible).
So far, I am finding that on my newer devices and appliances, the phantom energy is negligible (though it does add up, we are still talking pennies). But I did find that my cheap freezer chest is a bit of an energy hog, so looking into what can be done about that.
In the end. Handy product to have in the tool box.

2. Seller support is poor and maker (P3) doesn't respond to emailed questions.
A waste of money.
