Bad "upgrade " accessories

Decided to upgrade to P4460. This was a bug for the following reasons: The menu and reset buttons rarely worked on my P4460. I had to click on them over a dozen times for them to register once. The rest of the buttons turned out to be more reliable, but still not 100%. This is very bad for a brand new device. The P4460's LCD display is much harder to read than the P4400's. P4460 cannot display power for low power loads. Anything under 9 watts was often shown as zero watts. It is useless for myโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Very good price
Cons
  • Outdated

Can't handle 1500W even though the spec says 1850W.

I bought this 2 years ago and it worked great on all counts until I put it on a 1500w underfloor heating a month ago to see how much it would cost me my to heat the office. instead of starting the boiler in my basement. Unfortunately it somehow melted and now it doesn't work at all. So I'm not sure why it's being boiled because it says it can handle 1850 watts, which is over 1500 watts. so I think they entered their specs wrong. A year ago I would have said 5 starts but now I would say 2 starsโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Great overall performance
Cons
  • Problems

11A-1300W @ 4 hours daily use - 3 weeks use

Stops working after 3 weeks use. It was hooked up to an 11 amp 1300 watt heater that ran about 4 hours a day. After 3 weeks the display went blank and the heater would not turn on when connected to Kill A Watt. The heater worked well when bypassing Kill A Watt and plugged directly into an outlet. Tested Kill A Watt on multiple outlets around the house and it doesn't work. After reading it it looks like the thermal fuse was probably blown which can be fixed but as I've had it less than a monthโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Satisfied so far
Cons
  • Functionality

Don't overload! on Meter Sockets

I've been using this Kill A Watt for a while now and it still works great. I've used it on some well-known power consumption devices and it seems to be very accurate. Be sure to enter the correct kilowatt-hour price from your utility. UPDATE 7/3/2016. When using Kill A Watt with the Vornado heater, Kill A Watt would overload and his nest would burn and melt. Needless to say, this no longer works. I called the company about it and all they could tell me (other than that they won't replace it)โ€ฆ

Pros
  • cool product
Cons
  • protection

Four stars because the max voltage/amp ratings are incorrect and may need a redesign. But otherwise it works great. I've been using it for over 6 months. It is good for monitoring low voltage/amplifier devices. I hooked it up to my gaming PC (i5-4670k OC'ed, 750w PSU, GTX 770), including a 25" monitor, speakers, a table lamp, a large fan and several phone chargers, with no more issues than two months. I've tested countless small devices, laptops, lamps, fans, refrigerators, coffee makers, etc.,

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Quality
