I purchased this mainly out of curiosity, to measure the electricity usage on my Camelon Gecko tank to gauge the feasibility of a backup power system. This has measured for 6 months and easily reported my consumption, just as described. I have no way of comparing accuracy, but the numbers seem reasonable given the wattages of my bulbs.

I purchased this product during Christmas time to see how many Watts my Christmas lights on my house were pulling. I was fearing that I was exceeding my circuit breakers capacity to carry a load. so I purchased this product and plugged all my house lights in and using LED lights. I was floored to learn that I was only pulling 250watts of current I haven’t flipped through any of the other features that this has other than the wattage feature, I briefly scrolled through to see voltage and amperage and other things just out of curiosity, but it worked for my intended purpose. I’m looking to keep it around to see how big of loads my other electrical appliances in my house pull I was hoping to possibly see if this works for appliances to tell me what voltage they’re using when they’re not in use and turned off, but I haven’t tried that out yet.**Overall, good product that does what it says it does and it’s simple design as a place in my book

Just what I wanted. Easy to reset and cycle through all the modes. I can track my pump is working by seeing runtime hours compared to the last time I have seen the readout in time. Lit up screen turns off when its not in use. Easy to use. Didnt get into the advanced stuff where you can put in your electric rate. Its different anyways at different times and days.

Been using this to see where most of my electricity goes.. Thought the fridge was the worst culprit for consumption but it turns out not to be as power-hungry as I had suspected.Currently (haha) the device is monitoring the entertainment and computer area, all of which is powered by a series of power-bars which is ultimately now plugged into this device. Going to give it a month of monitoring at each location I plug it in, to get an average consumption per month for various appliances around here.Perfectly happy with the device. Works well, plugs in snugly to the wall, provides all the necessary data I want, has backlighting, etc. No complaints.

Overall I like the device. When plugged in, the display lights with any button press and remains lit for a while. I like that it shows the maximum watt draw. I wanted to know exactly that so that I could properly size an inverter to run a fridge and freezer on batteries during power outages. Each display has the cumulative time at the top. The "manual" states that this is the amount of time that the meter is connected to the power source. That is not correct, at least not on mine. It rather shows the amount of time that power is being drawn. So if this is connected to a cooler that runs intermittently, it displays the amount of time that the cooler is drawing power, not the amount of time that the meter is plugged into the outlet. So, you can't know from the displays what the overall average power use is. You can only calculate the average power consumption while the cooler is actually running, which only occurs when the compressor is on. To know the average, I have to use a different KAW meter that keeps track of total watts consumed and total time the METER is plugged in. Other than that, it works well, but it's not quite as useful as it could be. So, it's a little bit of a letdown. But it does show the maximum power draw that occurred while in use, which my other meter doesn't show. The time also shows the total amount of time that power is being draw, which my other meter also doesn't show. It would be nice if it showed both how long the meter was plugged in AND how long a powered device was actually drawing power. Then it would be just about perfect.Setting the cost is slightly tricky. In the display with only the time and cost showing (no middle field), press the "cost" button for a few seconds. You are now incost entry mode, but you must press the "function" button so that the first digit starts blinking, and then the "up" or "down" key to change the value of that digit. Then press the "function" key again for the next digit and repeat for further digits. When set, press the "cost" button to exit the cost entry mode. You are now set. It seems that the first two digits should be for whole cents and the digits to the right of the decimal for fractional cents, so it is not a dollars and cents display. If your electricity rate is 33.14 cents per kWh (like if you live in California where they have cheap renewable power), the display, once set, will read 33.14, and if your electricity costs 6.04 cents per kWh (like where I live) then the display in setup mode will read 06.04. The actual total cost of electricity consumed will be in the mode 1 screen where time, total watts and cost are displayed.

I purchased this item to monitor the output watts of my generator. It maintains watts and my generator is only 2000 W so it seems to work quite well. It also let you know how many hours it was being used so that you can change the oil. I haven’t determined if it actually goes up to 3600 W. That would be ideal. I use a small cord to go from the generator to the unit just in case it melts or tries to fall out of the generator. Seems like a good buy for 11 bucks .

Lo estoy usando para medir el consumo en watts de unos aparatos electrónicos y después de 20 días ha registrado información que me ha sido útil para identificar cuales equipos consumen más electricidad.Es simple de usar, práctico y arroja mediciones de diferentes tipos (wattaje, amperaje, etc.) así como mínimos, máximos y el consumo acumulado de watts (junto con los días de medición).

I purchased the SURAIELEC Watt Meter as an aid to track the energy usage of my Level 1 EV charger, but it has proven to be invaluable for monitoring much more around my house, including my second refrigerator. This device is a must-have for anyone looking to keep an eye on their electricity consumption!From the get-go, I was impressed with the meter’s ease of use. The plug-in socket design meant I could get it up and running in seconds. Its backlit large display is a standout feature, offering clear visibility of the wattage, voltage, and ampere readings without squinting or needing to turn on extra lights.The auto cost calculator function is a game-changer. It not only measures the power consumption but also helps me understand the cost associated with running my appliances. This feature has been eye-opening, especially with my EV charger, as it allows me to optimize my charging times based on peak and off-peak hours.Using it with my second refrigerator has also given me insights into how much energy an older appliance consumes compared to newer, more energy-efficient models. This has helped me make informed decisions about potential upgrades and energy use management in my home.The overload protection feature gives me peace of mind, knowing that the device will cut off power if the load exceeds its capacity, preventing any potential damage to my appliances and the watt meter itself.The SURAIELEC Watt Meter is a robust, reliable, and user-friendly device that has made energy monitoring a breeze. Whether it’s for an EV charger or any other appliance, this meter provides accurate readings and useful insights into electricity usage. It’s an excellent investment for anyone serious about managing their energy consumption and reducing their environmental footprint.
