Has anybody come across a Kill-a-watt type power meter for Australia? I found one online a while back but it was a pre-order and I can't find it again.
Cheers!

Jaycar's got them on their website (jaycar.com.au) search for "mains power meter" - but they're listed as out of stock. I asked in one of their stores, but apparently they're a new product not available yet. Dunno how long it'll be...

Looks like the same model I found last time, on a difference site.
Thanks, I've book marked it this time!

I ended up buying one from the UK, and am using a UK/OZ adaptor on each end. Set me back about $50 (I already had the adaptors). Works well, but is a bit unweildy. You need plenty of room around the socket you're plugging it into (or an extension cord).
