I'm thinking of buying one of these later on:

I'd like to be able to easily tell how much power I'm using, and even see history of previous usage, or turn an appliance on and see how much more it uses etc...
Just wondering if anyone has one and if they like it or not.
Also is it even accurate to measure power through magnetism? From the sounds of it, it's just a magnet clip that goes around the main lugs. I would figure that for best accuracy you'd have to directly measure the voltage. Though the thought of pigtailing 2awg wire is not very appealing so if the magnets work then great.
