Kill-Watt Power Meter

Ever wonder how much electricity all of those different household appliances use? The results might surprise you. For about $20 you can get the P3 Kill-Watt power meter and see what's using all those kilowatt-hours.

So far I've tested how much my refrigerator, power supplies, computer (in standby, turned-off, and regular usage), and several other home appliances use.

A Kill-A-Watt power usage monitor plugs directly into the outlet. You then plug in any electrical appliance and find out how much power you're using. The electricity is measured as it passes though the Kill-A-Watt meter. The meter tells you how much electricity is used over a certain time by the appliance (it also calculates how many kilowatts are used per hour).

  

The Kill a Watt meter is available for around $25 and can be found by searching Google.
