Very handy gadget:
I've been cutting down a lot on my energy usage recently, and I wanted something that would help me see just how much of a difference my efforts were making, so I decided to order a kill-a-watt. When I first received it, I went around my whole house testing out gadgets to see just how much energy they use. I was quite surprised by a lot of items. I have an air purifier that stays on almost 24/7 so I was sure that it was hogging a lot of energy, however I was only using a mere 13 watts! Now I can feel... more info
simple yet totally effective:

Not a hardship, but misleading copy.

It's awesome for just looking at how much electricity is being used on various appliances for long periods of time.
