Ordered one unit. Very fast response. Made payment transfer, items shipped out the next day and I received it the following day with my building management office. I know PosLaju always comes when I cam not around...

Sometimes, I think ordering online it is even faster than COD bcos COD still need to find free time, drive to the location, parking/tolls/petrols and then drive back ...

A very short review of the product after a few hours of usage and questions about the product..

- For my unit, the money ($) sign is in UK pound sign... no big issue...

- User Manual is a little confusing even for people like me that actually read user manuals... ( I know most people hate reading it .. )

Those functions short form are a bit cryptic, but I figure it out after a while..
AV - Voltmeter
EC - Electricity Consumption
PC - Power Cost
PW - Curent power ( ON this screen most of the time )
RT - Ratio ( no idea what is this )


Questions on the Setup screen ?

1. What is standby power ??

2. What is ratio of operation condition ?


I made a few measurements around the house... these are average over a few minutes..

42" Plasma - 150W
Kettle (takes only 3mins to boil 1.75l water) - 2500W
Fan - 36W
Compact FL - 12W
DIY nightlight - 3 LED powered by 5V Nokia charger running 24hrs - 0.9W

Desktop PC , using a 500W Xigmatek PSU
standby - 1.2W
CPU 0% - 75W
CPU 50% when playing facebook games - 110W
CPU 100% - 135W
22" LCD Monitor - 24W

Macbook Pro 13"
0% - 22W
100% - 37W

The picture show are connecting to
-home theater 5.1c 30-80W
-desktop PC 170-220W
-nokia charger 1W

I m a newbie for electric calculation stuff but,
the accurate Watt for this gadget is 99% correct.
The watt meter will keep fluctuate if u connect like speaker, PC.
It won't stable down for those who don't know about this.
The most important for me to use this gadget are to read kWH and Watt.
The meter will measure the current drawn by the PC, so if the CPU is high, it will draw more current... and these days the CPU hv power saving mode, so when idle, the CPU will lower the speed/GHz to save power and run the CPU much cooler...

Home Theater/amp is producing sound and driving the speakers, so if sound have more bass, *boom* *boom*, it will use more power ... haha
