Belkin Conserve Insight - Energy Cost Monitor

From the Manufacturer

The Belkin Conserve Insight Energy Cost Monitor helps you measure the true impact of your energy use on your utility bill - and the environment. Find out how much energy your devices really use--including watts, the cost of operation, and the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions--with the Belkin Conserve Insight Energy Cost Monitor. At a glance you can see exactly how much electricity is used by devices like computers, televisions, kitchen appliances and more. The monitor also shows the carbon dioxide emissions produced as a byproduct of your electricity usage. With this monitor, you get a clear idea of the true impact to your wallet--and the environment.

Be Smart About Energy with the Cost Tracking Feature
The Conserve Insight Energy Cost Monitor makes it easy to be smart about energy. With the help of this handy device, you can see how much your devices cost to use on a yearly or monthly basis so you can make better energy decisions. Additionally, because the Conserve Insight also shows power plant carbon dioxide emissions produced to use various devices on a yearly or monthly basis, you'll discover your true environmental impact. The convenient tracking feature tracks your usage of a device over time and projects how much that device costs you to operate based on your actual usage.

Monitor is Customizable, Easy-to-Read
The Conserve Insight is both customizable and easy to read. A six-foot cord allows you to read the display at eye-level or place it on a table. And for added convenience, you can choose to use either the preloaded U.S. average electricity rate or enter your own rate off your electric bill. You can also set the carbon dioxide emissions rate for your specific region.


This unit includes a convenient tracking feature which gathers data over time to provide accurate energy use information based on your actual usage.

Smart, User-Friendly Design
Designed for ease of use, the Conserve Insight sets up in minutes. Simply plug it into a standard outlet and then plug a device in to the unit. The screen will automatically display how many dollars per year your device costs in its current operating mode--no need to press a button. Easy-to-understand graphic icons make it easy to read results, while both instantaneous and tracking modes of usage calculation let you put things in perspective.

With your device plugged into the Conserve Insight, you can press one of the corresponding buttons to enter into the desired mode. For a range of readings, pressing the CO2 or dollar button more than once will switch between monthly and yearly readings.

The Conserve Insight Energy Use Monitor is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

      5.0 out of 5 stars This will definitely pay for itself.
      Reviewed in the United States on March 30, 2013
      Verified Purchase
      The first thing I did was run around the house, measuring and figuring out what i needed plugged in and what I could unplug and then "fa-git-about."

      I found four items we could live without being plugged in 24/7 and then went back and plugged two of the items back in. At $0.3001/kWhr, the savings is roughly $5.62/mo. This watt meter cost us, $36.62. Due to our new found awareness, dividing the new found monthly savings into the cost of this watt meter, I find that it will take a rounded seven months for the watt meter to pay for itself. This is a great personal energy monitoring device.

      One can easily program their current per kWh utility charge and see how much is being given to the utility company each year. One can toggle back-n-forth between annual usage, CO2 emissions (monthly/annual) and annual/current amount of electricity being consumed.

      For hard to reach plug-in locations, such as behind a Kitchen refrigerator or freezer, the monitor comes with a five foot monitor cable. Very nice.

      I've run average usage measurements on the side-by-side refrigerator and separate freezer. With that information, we checked out the price of a new side-by-side refrigerator and can now do direct cost comparisons as to price of a replacement side-by-side vs our current top tier electric usage rate currently being used and can empirically see how long it will take to amortize the cost of upgrading to a more efficient refrigerator. And to the curious, depending on the price of the model being looked at, I now see that it will take ten to twenty years to amortize off the cost of a more energy efficient refrigerator.

      I should add, FYI, the yellow energy tags one finds inside refrigerators, uses a 2007 electric rate of $0.11 per kWh so when comparing consumer energy usage tags, it's suggested to have in your head your local utility rate for electricity so you're able to factor the difference between what's reported on the yellow tag and what it will cost/year using a real world electric rate.

      The watt meter will handle up to 15A or 1,800W.

      The benefit of a meter of this kind, one can easily check rated watt consumption for any appliance such as a LED light bulb, CFL light bulb or compare an Energy Star television set one might have recently acquired with the old television being replaced. All in all, for comparative measuring purposes, having this measuring device readily available is helpful so as to easily monitor any changes to one's electric usage.

      Note: A day after this original review, the use of this meter exposed a poorly working CFL light that was using 70w/hr of energy. The bulb was replaced with a properly working CFL which measured at it's 23w/hr rating; once warmed up and stabilized, 23.9w/hr.

      In my opinion, the main drawback to a monitoring tool of this kind is, in the beginning, one will have a tendency to unplug everything, including the kitchen sink. With that in mind, recognize, unless being super conscientious as to greenhouse gas emissions, one can leave a few frivolous items like a bedroom clock or a convenient standby item that is only drawing a couple of hourly watts plugged in and life as we know it, will not end.

      If one wants to know what their individual electric usage is for a given item, whether a toaster, LED light bulb, side-by-side refrigerator or floor standing electric heater unit, this unit will immediately let one see how much energy is being used. Over all, although I think this measuring device to be a bit pricey, this is a way cool, consumer oriented monitor device I feel comfortable recommending.

      5.0 out of 5 stars A must have!
      Reviewed in the United States on July 5, 2012

      Let me start this review by saying that I am not going to include my readings here as that would not help a reader of this review, but I would try my best to explain why I rated this 5-stars and probably give some details about how I think it should be used ideally (just IMHO).

      I have never thought of measuring how much energy each appliance were using till about a few months back. We used a controllable thermostat which is partly monitored by the utility company themselves and hence they do regulate the cooling on certain pre-agreed upon time-bands to prevent wastage, and this I thought was enough to save some money. But an electricity bill a couple of months back did wake me up. Started paying close attention to this once I noticed a trend in my electricity bill and how during certain months it went up when I have thought we did use less. That pinch did wake me from my unconscious slumber as to what was costing me a lot to run, and prompted me to take some action.

      So I bought a P3 International P4460 Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor because I read some great things about it on another site. This did work well except for the fact that it was a pain in the rear to read and see. So I had 2 options - return that product and pick up something easier to use or pick up an extension cord (spend more money) and hook it up using that. Needless to say I decided to go with the first option when I found this Belkin product and it is possibly the best decision I made.

      Unlike the Kill-a-Watt this monitor comes with pre-attached 6 foot extension cord and is much easier to read, setup and use on a daily basis. I for one love that this also tells me the CO2 emissions, some of you might not care for this but it is a great feature to have according to me. The averaging feature is another great option - What is the averaging feature? Well it averages your consumption based on your usage of the appliance/gadget over the time you have left the monitor plugged in. I used a 2 week time period for most of my 24/7 stuff (desktop/HTPC/Media console etc) and 2 month period for most of my stuff which is used as needed (read washer/dryer/dishwasher etc). So the more time you leave the monitor plugged in and use your stuff as you normally do, the better the average predictions would be, very cool. Saves me having to monitor the monitor and then calculating an average myself.

      The setup and operation is too easy to explain, just have to understand that there are only three buttons, single press of each would work as a toggle switch for the display, yearly vs monthly, and a long press of the same would allow you to configure the monitor and enter your own per KWH rates and CO2 emission rates.

      The only feature I think it missed in building in for whatever reason was a built in memory to store readings, and read them even after the monitor is unplugged. The averaging feature kind of eliminates this need to an extent if you have the patience to leave it plugged in for a few weeks or months, averaging plus writing down some readings is all you need. But sometimes a memory reading is absolutely necessary, for instance if you are tinkering with your electronics like I do all the time and I replaced a component in my desktop and would like a before and after comparison. Maybe they will incorporate this in the next version.

      So there it is very straight forward, user friendly (my wife who hates messing with electronics loves this and uses this regularly) and accurate monitor to tell you about your energy usages. I love the simple fact that Belkin paid attention to what the consumers wanted and designed a product which addresses a lot of issues that other monitors have always had and came out with a great product.

      Finally a summary of pros and cons:

      Pros - 6 foot pre attached cord, averaging feature, easy to read display, simple elegant design, and accurate measurement. Also the price is definitely attractive when you compare it to a similar product.

      Cons - no built in memory for the device to store and compare readings after unplugging the device.

      Like to have - maybe a color display, a graphical view (usage graphs) for those of use who are visual even while reading numbers and definitely a programmable memory.

      So there it is I like it and would recommend this to anyone considering buying a monitor.

      Verified Purchase
      I bought this one over some of the cheaper versions because of the Belkin name. I am using it to assess how much power our different appliances were using. (Surprisingly, the old freezer in the basement is cheaper to run than our newer entertainment system even when it's turned off).
      It has been very easy to use, although as other reviewers have noted, there are no options for different time-of-day electricity pricing. For this though, I used a time-weighted average for the day and I measure the power usage over a week, so it should be reasonably accurate. I also like having the tethered meter, saving my knees.
      I am not sure how relative the "carbon dioxide emissions" feature is since we live in an area where most of the power is generated by carbon neutral generators (i.e. hydroelectric).
