    Sort out how efficient or not your electrical appliances are and the cost to run, or choose to leave on standby leave, once and for all.

    This power monitor shows watts used, totals and works out the cost if you put the price per KwHr in.

    £4.99 at Lidl next Monday 25th WSL

    I have four - they're a bit inaccurate, one says my voltage is 250v one says its about 230v. I have my computers, broadband, firewall etc plugged into two (to see how much dollar they are costing to run!) Also lets you see how far you can push plugging in as many things as you can into one socket without overloading (i've got about 20 things plugged into each and they only reach about 2-3 amps)

    The bit where it will work out how much money the electricity has cost is a bit !!!!!! as it won't fit in with the way (british gas at least) bill.

    You'll need one for each socket you want to monitor ;-)

    I got a load of the batteries, just £1.99 per pack. A good bargain methinks :j

    Thanks for responding!! Does it actually work out how much the computer costs to run for a day, a week, a month? Where you surprised by how much something in your home cost to run?

  • There is obviously a HUGE market for Digital Calipers out there.

    Aldi & Lidl promoting them at the same time.

    Now lets be fair to each other and promise to only buy 1 each. :confused:
