Kill-A-Watt Energy Monitor Device

The Kill-A-Watt P3 4400 is the ubiquitous energy measuring device for the last decade or longer. It can measure Volts, Watts, Amps, Power Factor, Volt-Amps, and more. It will record duration and overall usage as well. I'll show you how it works and how to measure two different kinds of lights.

Do you know about the P4460 model also ?
I have questions about that one.

could you help me I have an old mos fet powered stereo receiver tried to replace it but don't like the amp sound of anything else I think it leaks power when in standby mode especially in the tuner selection but I now use just the cd and phono It runs a clock in standby mode Can I use a meter to see if standby is ok when left in phono or cd What do I check Watts ? amps ? volts ? can leakage vary ?

How do you check the inrush or The Surge of a device on this kilowatt unit

@The Net Guy  you say this is old tech and that there is something better but don't even say what it is.

Maybe you (or someone) can answer my question...I have a very similar device I bought to calculate power needs of various items I might want to plug into my generator in a power outage. I have a 7 cu ft chest freezer that says on the label that it is 1.7 AMPs @ 115V. If you multiply AMPS x Voltage, you should get WATTS required. In this case that would be about 195wt. When I plug the freezer into the monitor, I get very different numbers (??) The monitor displays .65 AMPS (instead of 1.7 AMPS), and it displays 60 watts (instead of my calculated 195 watts). Where am I going wrong here?

Thank you for this video, can you make a comparison with Smart plugs that are wifi connection and app logger!

I have a Corsair AX-760 760 W 80+Platinum rated power supply for my PC, and it features PFC iirc. Would this be able to show an accurate measure of what a PC using a PFC PSU is actually drawing? I know not every battery backup is usable w/this kind of PSU. Thanks.
