you should get a Kill-o-watt just for the curiosity factor--

That one is less than $20 -- I don't know what the difference is if
you pay $8 more for the 4460-

I paid $50 6-8 years ago for mine & it has paid for itself in guiding
me to the *real* thieving appliances. I've never seen one of those
charts worth the time to read them.

I guess every time someone brings up these readers, I'm confused. I
still need to run the appliances even if they do suck a lot. Knowing
how much they use is not going to make me feel better, probably
worse

They help you make decisions. Like exactly how much is that old, inefficient
fridge costing you?


Exactly-- That's how mine paid for itself. Turned out the 8yr old
fridge was using 4 times as much electricity as the 30 yr old freezer.
