Power meter suggestions!

CAT-THE-FIFTH · 13 Jun 2011 at 18:31

I have narrowed it down to three:

1.)L61AQ Power meter

The first is basically a Kill A Watt P4400 which is a rebadged Prodigit Model 2000MU.

2.)Energenie Power Meter

The uses a ADE7755 IC which is meant to be found in better power meters.

I currently use the last one, I think it's the same, not had any issues with it.

I use this model here.

Search model no N35HN. Very useful for measuring usage of the pc and other peripherals.

^^can you select which plug it monitors power from? (1, 2, 3, 4, all?)

It reads from all 5, if i want to test one piece of equipment alone, i have to unplug the rest and use the standard wall sockets. Not too much trouble though as i have 4 wall sockets behind my desk.
