The Kill-A-Watt monitor is a unit that you plug directly into the wall to help you know which
appliances and equipment are consuming more power and draining more dollars. It’s just that simple, once you plug your 120-volt appliance into the monitor, the device will register its energy use. You can calculate your electrical expenses by the day, week, month, or year. Start making decisions about your lifestyle and save on your energy bill.
