Empowers You to Save Hundreds on Electric Bills
Electricity bills are rising. Now you can cut down on costs and find out what appliances are actually worth keeping plugged in. Simply connect these appliances to the Kill A Watt, and it will assess how efficient they really are. The large LCD display counts consumption by the kilowatt-hour, the same as your local utility. You can calculate your electrical expenses by the day, week, month, even an entire year. Also check the quality of your power by monitoring voltage, line frequency, and power factor. Now you will know if it is time for a new refrigerator or if that old air conditioner is still saving you money. Kill A Watt can help you reduce your power bill and will help find power-wasting appliances so you are able to decide whether it is worth keeping them plugged in. For standard 115 VAC appliances only, 15 amps maximum, 125 VAC maximum.Find Out How Much Electricity You're Using
The U.S Department of Energy reports that 20% of our electric bills come from items that are left plugged in when they are not in use, or items that are in standby mode. With the Kill A Watt P4400 we can monitor the energy eaters in our homes and cut down our electric bills at the same time. Plug whatever item you want into the device and it will tell you the efficiency of that item by displaying the kilowatt per hour. This device will help you determine which items are costing you the most to run. The Kill A Watt also calculates voltage, line frequency, current, and power factor. You can calculate your electric bill before you even receive it from the electric company.Test The Quality of Your Home's Power
But measuring appliance consumption is just the tip of the iceberg. Because it can monitor voltage (Volt) and line frequency it can also test if an outlet is working, or evaluate the quality of the electrical power provided by your utility company. It can detect voltage drops around the house, help to predict brownout conditions or to make sure a new home's outlets are in working condition before escrow closes.

1. when plugged in it blocks the other outlet on the plug so if you have limited outlets in a room it could be an issue
2. the display can be hard to read, I often have to shine a light directly onto it, this is my main reason for giving it 4 stars
it is also very dated looking, like it belongs in the early 90's from an aesthetic point of view.
after a month or 2 of using this I have been able to test virtually every appliance I use (outside of the dryer and water heater, since they operate off of 230/240 volt), my toaster oven that is large enough to fit a Tombstone brand (or any other brand for that matter) frozen pizza uses around 1100 watts in the normal baking mode (with the convection fan running) and about 1400 with in toast mode (with the upper heating elements on) my 1000 watt microwave (Hamilton Beach brand from walmart) uses 1700 WATTS on high and this is where I learned something interesting, as you approach the upper threshold of what this meter is rated for (1800 watts) it begins to beep warning you to watch your power usage so you don't fry it, my wireless router and cable modem use about 12 watts and my 50" LED 4k TV uses around 110 watts, but if I enable the energy saving options that really just dim the back light I can get it down below 70 watts and my new HE LG washing machine uses less then 2 cents of electricity per load (0.1 something Kw) which frankly surprised me, your dryer is the power user there everybody (fyi, they several Kw per load to run a dryer). This has also allowed me to test the actual consumption of my LED light bulbs, the GE 10.5 and 11 watt (60 watt equivalent) bulbs actually use around 13 watts and the Utilitech (Lowes brand) 9 watt (60 watt equivalent) use exactly 9 watt and the 5.5 watt (40 watt equivalent) actually use 5.1-5.2 watts, also ALL incandescent bulbs I tested used MORE then listed wattage, 65 watt flood bulbs used 67 watts, 100 watt shop light used 106 watts and so on.
I currently live alone and as such I am able to really track the whole house usage, my power company has a daily usage bar graph that I track in an excel spreadsheet to monitor usage. Currently I have turned off the central air and am using a propane powered wall mounted space heater for heat so I have a very steady power consumption of 8-9 Kw a day (with no dishwasher or dryer running days and a caveat I will get to in a minute) as monitored on the power company website of which I have established the older side by side fridge in the basement apartment (where I am staying) is using 2.6 Kw per day, the way I reached this average is to leave the killawatt connected for several days and divide total usage by number of hours plugged in, since fridges cycle on and off the longer you leave it hooked up the more accurate it gets, I find 1-2 days is enough to get a good number and the fridge in the vacant upstairs unit uses 1.3 Kw per day, so between the 2 fridges I have accounted for nearly half my power usage in a typical day. using my math skills I have estimated my daily person usage (tv, internet, laptop, cooking and lighting) to be around 2.5Kw so this leaves 1.5-2.5Kw un-accounted for that would have to be attributed to the hot water heater and the LED displays on kitchen appliances and the garage door opener backlight.
Now for the big power hog, this house had a concrete sidewalk installed upstairs that VIOLATES building codes and causes a fairly major issue, the top of the sidewalk is about 2 inches below the top of the foundation wall (code minimum is 8" above grade for top of wall) and worse yet it was poured after construction and as a result doesn't have proper support underneath and so it has begun sagging and slopping toward the house which results in extremely high humidity in the basement room on the other side of that wall that requires running a dehumidifier most days of the week, now this is the big deal and a REAL EYE OPENER, that this little kill-a-watt showed me, when in operation the dehumidifier (despite being energy star rated) uses 400+ WATTS, if left running all day it can use upwards of 10Kw a day BY ITSELF, this is more then EVERYTHING else in the house combined (thanks to my energy saving methods) so seeing this I went out and bought a 10 dollar digital thermometer/humidistat so I can monitor the actual humidity level in the room and power the dehumidifier off and on as needed as the humidity setting on the unit is virtually useless, once it reaches the set humidity it just goes into a fan only mode that still uses like 200 Watts, so it's better to just shut it off, with this meter I can monitor how much power the dehumidifier uses a day and the humidistat shows me when I need to run it, so instead of DOUBLING my power bill by doing like my parents did when they where living here (they moved to Florida and I moved in to watch over the house while it's on the market) and leave it running 24/7 I was able to shave over a 100Kw off my monthly usage and thats not even accounting for the 6 days I didn't monitor usage and at about .11 cents per Kw (with all fees factored in) I've already saved the cost of the Humidistat/thermometer and in the next month or 2 will save the cost of this guy. I will soon be addressing the sidewalk issue by removing it and laying a paver walkway that still leaves room for proper drainage. As is even with 5 days of not using the dehumidifier at all and 6 days of not monitoring it the dehumidifer accounted for 20% of the overall power usage (likely much higher due to the missing days).
If your power bills are high even when you don't have the A/C or heat going then get you one of these and find out what is costing you money. For me the biggest offender is the Dehumidifier followed by the side by side fridge (which is way to much for 1 person), my total power usage for November was 531 Kw, 112 Kw of that was the MONITORED usage of the dehumidifier and like 80 Kw was the fridge, so for black friday I bought myself a new smaller fridge that I will use and disconnect the bigger one, the new one should use 1/3 the power of the old one saving me about 6 bucks a month.
This could not be easier to use. Simply plug the meter into any wall socket. Leave it there as long as you like and use this meter like an electrical outlet. When you want to measure an appliance's electricity use, you simply press the "Watt" button & the LCD display will show you the real-time wattage usage. For example, with my "tea machine," when it boils water, it uses about 900 watts. Once it stops boiling, it uses just .3 watts, on average, to keep warm. When dispensing, it uses 62 watts (to power an electric pump), then immediately reverts back to its .3 watt "keep warm" usage.
This can also be used as a voltmeter (measuring the electricity flow INTO the outlet). For American household power, this is roughly around 120 volts (except in "brown out" conditions). Useful to check during brownout conditions, simply because using some appliances during low voltage conditions can potentially damage them (this, fortunately, rarely happens in the US, but some Californians have occasionally experienced this).
There's also a purple KwH button. This will let you measure the KwH usage of an appliance over a period of time. If you have an appliance (say, like a stereo subwoofer) that you suspect might be a Vampire Power Energy Hog (one that uses a lot of power, even when turned off), you can easily confirm this suspicion by plugging it into this meter, pressing the KwH button, & then check in 24 hours and see how many KwH your appliance has consumed. If your subwoofer's an energy hog, just unplug it when you're not using it & you'll lower your electrical bills.
I LOVE this device, because it's helped me logically evaluate actual energy usage, instead of just going by my "gut" feeling. Knowledge is Power!
This is easy to use & well worth every penny of its cost. In just a month, it more than pays for itself, if you've not been paying sufficient attention to your energy use. Now, instead of guessing how much power you're actually using to operate an appliance, now you can know. Great for everything from rice cookers, tea machines, toaster ovens, computers, printers, stereo equipment, battery chargers & more. A+!
