it worked out to be under $30 CAD at the time.... now that the canadian dollar is doing so well, it works out to be $23 CAD i believe...

Ditto. Had to get mine from the King George Hwy. location in Surrey as I couldn't find it in a few Vancouver locations a few months ago.

Hmmm .... that photo you posted is not actually a Kill-a-Watt, but some lookalike product.

Check your local library too. The one in my town gives out free fluorescent light bulbs if you're borrowing it for the first time.

I got the one listed previously at Canadian tire today. (I actually though about ordering online but it was more trouble than it was worth to save maybe 2 bucks and get a brand name Kill-a-Watt which do not seem to have much more functions anyway).

It is a UPM Inc. EM100 Energy Meter exactly as listed on their website (you can check for availability in your region).

As far as i can tell, it works as advertised and seems to have quite good accuracy. So far I've tested it on :
- Two big AC fans
- A microwave
- A few lamps
- Clavinova Keyboards
- TV
and everytime the power meter was spot on compared to the apparatus manufacturers ratings. The input power readings were also quite similar to what i could measure with a multimeter. One thin

I haven't played with more advanced functions like the price calculator yet (One bad thing is there is no included manual and i could not find it on their website yet) but i am pretty happy with the purchase.

I have yet to actually connect it to my computer setup for i very rarely reboot the system. Maybe then i will finally know how much the thing really needs.
