Surprising how revealing this unit is...... January 2, 2009 I didn't know that this was still available. It may encourage saving electricity. I plugged my son's PS3 into it. Just push the on button and watch the wattage jump.
catraveler December 29, 2008 I purchased the Kill-a Watt P4400 a few years ago, and have used it numerous times to verify the power consumed by tv's,refrigerators, stereo equip., small A/C (less than 15amp). The only problem was a miss alignment of one of the reciptical pins, it was off center and the unit under test connector pin went down on the side instead of BETWEEN the recipticle contacts resulting in overheating the connector pin and partially melting some plastic. A slight adjustment and all is well. A good little tester!

I purchased this unit about 6 months ago. It worked fine, giving me information about how much electric power was being used by various items in standby and active modes. I recently used it again and found it malfunctioning. The various readings were ~ 197Volt, 33Watts & 1.3Amps with nothing connected. Ya get what ya pay for...
Great Product! December 28, 2008 This is a great product. It is convenient and very easy to use; and compared to my top-of-the-line DMM (HP), it has all the accuracy needed. I wish I'd had this years ago. If you have a breaker that often trips, this is the device that will identify the appliance that is the culprit.
Cool Energy-Saver December 27, 2008 Nifty and easy to use. Had no idea my cordless telephone base draws 1-2 watts continuously!
