i want this to work
Posted by Anonymous on Feb 10, 2010 10:28pmThe product from i know. Unlike many energy usage devices in the market that only sense the usage of the entire home, our system breaks down its data collection by individual circuit, so it can give users a fine-grained understanding of where their electricity is going, like kitchen, air conditioners, furnaces and refrigerators.

Posted by jim on Jul 7, 2009 8:03pmI've been trying to get my kids to pay attention to wattage for a while - this works. They get it now. Sturdy and reliable. good quality and accurate info.
Posted by Ernie S. on Jul 7, 2009 5:33pmI don't think it gets any easier than this! *plug* ... *plug* ... done! Checked out all of my wall-warts. What a great vampire detective. Saw that ConsumerReports video that says it's accurate, too. Found out I was paying $5/month for my stereo and cell charger vamps. No more! Thanks, guys!
Posted by SlickShoes on Mar 30, 2009 11:18amWhat an eye opener! My kids love to test every plug-sporting appliance in the house! Toast is becoming an endangered species around here.
