Sort of mixed bag. I does what I expected however it was open and used when I received it. Small scratches but it does work and it gives what I assume is accurate information regarding frequency, voltage and current draw. It can also give estimated cost of operation based on kW cost you enter. Be aware that it must remain in the circuit for you to see all the information. Only the cost per KW seems to remain in memory. I suggest this to investigate older appliances and how well a generator is holding frequency and voltage (some do better than others)

This Kill-A-Watt EZ power meter is supposed to retain the accumulated kWh/Usage time upon disconnection from the power source; it does that pretty well, except under the following circumstance. The Kill-A-Watt EZ was connected to an outlet and accumulating data for 88.5 hours when the utilities company cut the power to the dwellings; the meter remained connected to the outlet until power was restored about an hour later. I then noticed that the accumulated hours were trimmed down to 22 hours and the same issue with accumulated kWh reading. I believe that, had this this meter been removed from the outlet upon loss of power to the dwellings and reinserted after the power was restored, it would have properly retained the accumulated data. Could it be just one defective Kill-A-Watt EZ? The answer is NO, as I had another Kill-A-Watt EZ and Kill-A-Watt for Dummies connected to two other outlets at the same time; they all exhibited the same behavior as the first one, hence pointing to a defect in the design. Otherwise, this Kill-A-Watt EZ power meter works pretty much as designed.Read full review

I recently bought a small inverter generator and wanted to check the actual wattage requirements of my appliances as well as tools and equipment. The P3 also shows the max startup watts of appliances which is necessary to know when estimating current draw so I don't overload the generator. It is easy to operate, large LED readout numbers, and fun to estimate electric cost of each appliance. I now know how many total electric items I can operate on the generator at one time. This helped me plan for home emergency power outings which are sure to be more frequent in the future. I have owned the P3 for about a month.

I have bought the Kill- A- Watt and now the Kill- A- Watt- EZ. The P3 P4460 Kill- A- Watt- EZ is able to calculate the cost of running an appliance for an hour, month or year without you having to use a calculator. It also has a memory so when you unplug it or the power goes out it still retains the readings.It still needs a back-lit display but is definitely an improvement over the earlier Kill A Watt. It is limited to 15 amps. It can not handle 20 amp loads like an air compressor. When exceeding 15 amps the screen will blink on and off.

Everyone should have one of these. You can compute the cost of running appliances in your home. It has dozens of uses for the electronics enthusiast and restore/repair person. As I stated before every home and shop should have one of these and learn to use all of the functions. Be sure to get the P2 P4460 Kill A Watt EZ. Make sure it is the EZ as this has all of the extra functions that make it so useful. Aloha from Maui
