Is this sort of plug-in power meter suitable for measuring a desktop PC
with a switched mode power supply?

I bought something similar a long time ago but found it was giving
misleading readings. Are these better now?

Big Clive review

Very useful. Thank you.

Clive says at the end: "It's actually really well made. It's accurate and
works surprisingly well". (25 min) That's all I need to know.

Mind you I did once follow Clive recipe for porridge which wasn't a total
success. Using raisins was okay but his suggestion to add Coffee Mate didn't
work for me.
