i have one, it's the more basic one like this

it seems very accurate as when i turn on 100watt light bulb the display changes by 100watts.

Amazing how much you save turning off the pc (130 watts) and is good at educating the kids to turn lights off etc.
BTW i bought mine in Costco for less than £20

I also fitted an OWL energy monitor at home, more for the kids to play with but it works well. It's USB compatable so you can download the last few months consumption figures and it comes with a program that gives you graphs etc. The Owlalso hasa 3-phase option aswell as a single phase one. I would recommend them for your average domestic consumer but they don't monitor pf so for acustomer that's billed in kvarh it would be of limited use.
