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.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
at least, i THOUGHT you couldn't go wrong. But I just plugged mine into a 110v AC source which came from an inverter in a solar PV system, and the "modified sine wave" seems to have immediately fried it. It now is dead as a doornail.
So this is a little easter egg for those who actually read the reviews on devices with scads of reviews. Beware of using with modified wave (cheap) inverters. Worked fine with my pure sine wave inverter. Wish there had been instructions noting that it requires a pure sine wave.
By measuring the power consumption of internet-related equipment, I could estimate how much time a given UPS could give me in the event of a power failure.
I kept a spreadsheet of wattage of various items under different conditions, to help future troubleshooting. When my internet speeds slowed down, the P4400 showed me the culprit. The power consumption of the $4 power supply of my VOIP telephone adapter was abnormally high.
For the refrigerator, I measured KWH per day for a summer kitchen temperature and for a winter kitchen temperature. After that, the P4400 could show me if the refrigerator was still operating as efficiently, or maybe I needed to check for dust or ice.
If a refrigerator wasn’t cooling, the P4400 was a quick way to see if the compressor was drawing current.
Last year, I bought a smart charger for car batteries. It had no ammeter. Clipping in a multimeter would have risked a short, a disconnection, or damage to the meter. I plugged the charger into my P4400, and with the multimeter, I determined how many watts the charger needed for each amp out. Then I didn’t need the multimeter. By showing me input wattage, KWH, and time, the P4400 let me know output amps, amp hours, and charging time.
The other day, my P4400 was in the engine compartment of a truck as I charged the battery. In case of an unexpected shower, the hood was up only three inches. In a sudden, heavy shower, enough drops blew through the crack to wet the P4400. It still gave credible wattage readings, but not KWH or amps.
I bought another one immediately. The P4400 has proved its value.
Update: Last year I bought an electric chainsaw. I finally got around to using the P4400 to see if the manufacturer's horsepower claims are true. Apparently so. It also showed me how much voltage I was losing by using 150 feet of extension cords. The flashing display of the P4400 warned me that the current could damage it if I ran the saw more than a few seconds.
The manufacture recommends 14 gauge cord or larger. My cords aren't marked. To test, I used an electric skillet. Unlike the saw, it's a resistive load, and it doesn't draw enough current to endanger the meter. First I plugged the P4400 into an outlet and plugged the skillet into the P4400. I noted the voltage drop when I turned it on. Then I plugged an extension cord into the outlet and plugged the P4400 and skillet into the cord. I noted the voltage drop and the amps.
I subtracted the voltage drop at the outlet from the voltage drop at the end of the cord to determine how many volts I was losing in the cord. Dividing that by the amps gave me ohms. In the cord, current runs through the hot and the neutral in series, so the path is twice the length of the cord. To get ohms per foot, I divided the ohms by twice the cord length.
Knowing ohms per foot, I could look up the gauge online. My cords are 16 gauge. I can probably get 2.5 horsepower with them. I might get 2.75 horsepower if I upgraded to 14 gauge cords. I'm satisfied with 16 gauge.
Update: After further examination, it appears that the ground was press fitted into the little circuit board. Not good at all. There wasn't much holding it onto the circuit board. It was going to fail for sure.

Update - no response after weeks. The products failure below it's rated design seems awfully suspicious. Especially given that the fuse in question is supposed to be reset when it cool down sufficiently. Seems like they cheaper out on the fuses. Be ready to treat these disposably.

Buy this thing, and satisfy your OCD, and save yourself some cash along the way. Sure, if you plug in your $3,600 fridge, you're probably screwed if you find out it is a pig because it's too expensive to replace, but maybe you can call up the service tech and find out why its drawing 5x as much power as it says it should be. Maybe you plug in your block heater at night and find out you can heat your block in 30 minutes with a $4 timer vs having it burn your pennies away for 15hours.
I was already pretty thrifty with electricity, but I reduced our consumption by $30/month by pitching stupid items that were just wasting power, or replacing brutal devices, etc.
My utility keeps sending me letters telling me that I'm one of the heaviest electricity users in my neighborhood, so I decided to see what I can do to reduce my consumption. For example, the Kill A Wat told me that my work computer setup was baselining at 200W, so I now sleep/power down the computer as often as I can. I'm slowly trying it around the house to identify any other potential areas for savings.
The Good Parts
* Works very well
* Multiple types of readings (I only use the current wattage reading - did not really test the other functions)
Could Be Better
* Shape can block adjacent outlets depending on where you use it
* Doesn't have a battery. You lose your data when you unplug it
