100% agree. I always wanted something to measure usage and was thrilled to learn about the this a few years ago.

nice

ordered from meritline, hopefully they work out

i may be wrong but i think there are 4 websites all owned by the same people:

meritline , super mediastore, allmediaoutlet and the no longer available cddvdrmedia, all with different deals but same products.

I've never had any problems with the first 2, never tried the 3rd or 4th.
I've been buying crappy chinese knockoff printer ink, ipod and cell phone accessories and blank RITEK media from meritline forever though.

ah ok kewl i wanna see how much some of my vampire(heavy brick type ac converter plugs) suck, and stuff like computer speakers which are always on...

Mine came yesterday, not too bad, except I wish they could light up the LCD display, it's unreadable in the dark, and not easily seen when it's light. Also, if something is plugged in to another outlet on a dual-outlet receptacle, you will not be able to connect it straight to the wall, must use extension :-( Found out why my UPS trips when the laser printer is turned on and starts churning - that thing sucks down nearly a kiloWatt! Not so bad in standby - only 10W or so.

heh yea got mine today, came shipped in a padded envelope, its very light, shipping couldn't be much.

dissapointed my klipsch promedias use 20 watts doing nothing. old z505 sony laptop barely uses more than the idle speakers while its on hah
