-- When I clicked on Ben's link to their website it read this as the last line, "With the amazing Kill A Watt, you'll have wasteful devices pushing up daisies."
-- Anyone got an interpretation?

I really like this customer review from the link that Ben provided:

"If you're a cheapskate and you want to bug the kids about how much their toys are costing you, this will be your friend as well. I thought it was interesting to find out that a couple of strings of LED Christmas decorations strung together in my living room (about 100 little bulbs) was consuming only 5 watts. Left on for 24 hours a day, they'll about 40 cents to my electric bill in a month. My wife's electric rotisserie will cook some of the best chicken you've ever eaten for less than 20 cents. This is a useful toy. If you'd like to get a clear picture of how much energy you're consuming and where, buy a Kill A Watt."

While not yet owning one of these, I have read many reviews almost all of which were favorable. I ordered it using PayPal and after entering the coupon code, found that I got free shipping and a $2 discount, resulting in a total bill of $17.99. Can't beat that for a bargain !

#1: "Pushing up daisies" is slang for "dead and buried." The implication is that once you see that a particular device is wasting a lot of electricity, you'll want to bury it.

Or did I misinterpret your question?

Where I live "DAISIES",, FAT Chance!

Maybe CRP

looks like a fun gadget.. always wanted to know power consumption of my OC processor

cheap enough so i bought one.

#4 Good explanation!

For bonus points, calculate how many years you'll have to unplug and replug those pesky power adapters when their powered devices aren't being used, to pay for an $18 Kill A Watt meter.

Remember to add the power for the time you kept the light on in the room because you were unplugging or replugging instead of doing what you went into the room for, getting done sooner and turning the light back off when you leave.

The point is that products which are significant consumers of power tend to be energy rated already, even light bulbs, so all you have to do is make the right choice when it's time to replace a failed device.

so will this thing help me figure out if my fridge thermostat is messed and keep my fridge compressor on all the time?
