    Why would you need more than one?

    To see how much energy the meter uses. Haven't you read these posts before?

    Sure, but kidding aside they aren't really accurate enough to do that if you tried, it'd probably read 0 or 1W having an error of up to 50% IF it were accurate and rounding up or down, but it's not that accurate.

    I was just wondering if there was some real use for having more than one.

    I suppose you could leave one plugged in to a major appliance or device for a month or so to evaluate its total energy consumption over that time.

    Or in my house its just another thing I'd put on the shelf for some "important" project to do later and then forget about.
