Electricity Usage Monitor

Electrical and Lighting, Green Living, Quick Picks Published 03/04/2008 by Ben Erickson

If you’re curious how much power your television set uses even when it’s turned off, or whether your refrigerator should be replaced by a more efficient model, then the Kill A Watt EZ™ from P3 International is just the ticket. Simply plug it into any 110 volt wall outlet, key in the price you pay per kilowatt-hour, and plug the appliance (maximum 15 amps) into it. It not only displays how much the device costs to run, but the voltage and amps it draws as well.

Mike,
They can be purchased through a number of online stores including amazon.com. To find other dealers, go to a search engine like google.com and type in “buy Kill a Watt EZ.”
