Costco here in NJ has these for $26. And it's the better model,
where you input your cost of electricity, and it directly reads out
how much electricity cost is to run whatever you're measuring by the
day, week, month, year, etc. So, if you're looking to pick one up,
this is a good deal.

On the negative side, the one I bought doesn't work The SET key
doesn't do anything, so I can't enter the electric rate. Taking it
back to exchange.

You can order a lot of what they have online too.

But it was a bargain, right?

Living in NYS, none come up on the web page.

I wouldn't be fluffing my feathers for spending $26 for something that
doesn't work.

Eh, a dud slips through even the best manufacturers QC one in a while.
Things can work through all QC testing and then fail after a few
thousand miles of shipping vibration. My earlier model Kill-a-Watt works
wonderfully.

Lots of people here have used the Kill-A-Watt units and I've never
heard of a problem. I see no reason to think it would have been any
different if I paid $45 and bought one online. Except I'd be out the
shipping for the return. This one I just take back to Costco on my
next trip and get another on. No big deal.

How many hours will it store Kwh data for, mine is 99 hours before
auto reset.

just keep it away from inductively caused arcs, like don't
plug a 40 watt fan into it, read the watts, then pull the
plug. My first one now lives in a world of its own, with
about a 40% calibration error. I found a page on how to do a
re-calb, but at $20 on the web I picked up two new ones.
