The P3 International P4460 Kill-a-watt monitor is a great product. Yes it would be nice if you could read the display unit without having to getting down on your hands and knees when you have it plugged into an outlet on a lower wall level, but other than that, you'll love this product.
I've always wondered how much electricity I was using by running a refrigerator in my garage and also if I would benefit by buying a newer, more energy efficient dehumidifier. This device helps by allowing you to see how much your paying by the day, month and year to operated such electronic devices.
Piece of advise, keep a copy of your most recent electric bill so that you can enter the cost per killawatt that your local electric company is charging you. You will need this info to get an accurate reading of how much you're paying to operate all your electrical devises.
I consider this product a must buy. It will pay for itself over the long haul.

Customer Review: Better than I thought.
Summary: 4 Stars
I originally avoided the kill-a-watt meters due to concerns about accuracy and bought a competing brand. The competing brand went belly up so I had to get one of these.
I think the kill-a-watts improved a lot and I like it now. The accuracy seems to be there compared to my more expensive units (note that the usual exceptions apply, this won't work for fridges etc).
The usage is a little bogus, or more than a little. What I want to know is how many watts are flowing. I don't care about anything else. This functionality is now hidden behind a two-level menu. The top-level buttons only display fluff.
No battery buffer, unlike the other brand I bought (which was also cheaper). Come on people. Stupid retail packaging, too. If I wanted scratches I'd go to the zoo and pick a fight with a cougar.
But it's worth a 4 star now. I had lower expectation but overall this particular kill-a-watt now works as it should.
Customer Review: Better than expected

Works great. I found a foot long "Outlet Saver" makes it more convenient but leaves it standing on it's head. Adding a second "extention" corrects this.Customer Review: Didn't work very long
Summary: 1 Stars
Worked as advertised and was useful, but it quit after a few months with no digits displaying. I did contact the company but they were not helpful, saying I should deal with the retailer for a warrantee replacement. So I just chucked it in the trash.
I still have the original Kill-A-Watt have been using it for about 5 years and it still works. I think they're just making the new ones cheaply as possible.
