    And how much energy does the device use? Does it take that into account as well?

    it's 20 bucks at newegg. Ben needs to stop being a corporate pimp, and start posting the lower prices again.

    Thoreau has this right. Bensie has changed professions. What will we see here next, the Washington Madame?

    $35 is in the low range for this item, or $18 for the original version. This one claims to directly display the cost of consumed electricity ($ rather than kWh) but its real advantage is that it does not forget where it was when unplugged or power fails.

    As for the energy consumed, it doesn't get warm. If you really want to know, buy two and test it yourself.

    You can't buy two and test power consumption, it uses little enough that it's low accuracy at the bottom of it's scale won't register it right if at all. Same problem measuring lots of low powered items, don't expect a valid reading below about 8W.
