Watts Up? Pro Electricity Consumption Meter Reviews
Watts Up? Pro Electricity Consumption Meter Reviews
This is a terrific tool. It works great. It collects a huge amount of info, that is easy to download to your computer. There are analysis tools in their software package (the meter itself does a lot of calculations on it's own, you don't have to download the data to get a lot of meaningful numbers) but the software works on one set of data at a time (that I've found). To do multiple items, I'm going to need to write a spreadsheet that will analyze the data while combining different items, or time periods, but I'm sure it will pay off.
Already found some surprising things: Coffee Maker with timer, uses almost a watt when NOT in use. That's around 10-15 cents a month to sit there. I know it's not much but why waste? I'm unplugging it now. When brewing and keeping warm, it uses 878 Watts. That's about $11-20 a month at 3 hours per day. I think I might look into getting a thermos to keep the coffee warm after brewing. It should reduce the cost to about $1-3 a month to brew 1... Read more

I great device and very handy. I have regular watt meters and the various features of this one add a lot if insight with power level and spike powere uses. The data logger is not at all easy to use or set up (and we are data services) but in our case it is not needed to do the job.
I was surprised that the Tivo and TV takes 38 kw a month, and the fish tanks 48 kw a month, more than my freezer or fridge.

My electricity bill at my house was over a $100.00 a month. I couldn't figure it out until I bought this machine. Apparantly, my 25 year old refrigerator was working well, but was sucking up over $50.00 a month on electrity. After I used this machine, I bought a brand new refrigerator that only uses $15.00 a month. This is a must have unit.

Black & Decker VEC026BD Electromate 400 Jump-Starter with Built-In Air Compressor Reviews
This review is from: Black & Decker VEC026BD Electromate 400 Jump-Starter with Built-In Air Compressor (Automotive)
I just wanted to clear up some common misconceptions regarding these jump-start/inverter/inflator products. I personally own 3 different types from 400 watts to 1500 watts and have done tons of research on them. I guess you could call it an unusual hobby I have. I blame the manufacturers for over hyping these units or just choosing not to inform consumers of their limitations.
THESE UNITS ARE NOT AS POWERFUL AS YOU THINK! Most people seem to be very disappointed by the amount of "juice" these put out.
--FRESHLY CHARGED this item will probably run a small TV/DVD combo continuously for around 2.5 hours. That's it. Also, you can't run a coffee maker, hair drier, microwave, refrigerator or heavy duty power tool off this. It's just not designed for that kind of use. Buy this to run a small TV, fan or laptop for a few hours, or to charge your cell phone. That's all it's designed for.
--You probably won't be able to jump start an 8 cylinder engine... Read more

I just purchased the electromate 400 a few days ago ....I charged it overnight then tested it on a few things. Obviously it will jump start a car since it is basically built around a car battery. It ran my large box fan just fine. Also worked great when I plugged lamps into it. I tried using it to brew coffee using my Mr.Coffee but apparently the amps being drawn by the water heating and also heating the hotplate under the pot was too much for it and it would just shut down after a few seconds every time I tried it. Too bad ! I suspect if you have a newer coffee maker with the insulated pot and no heated hotplate you might do just fine. One thing I could not find much info on before I purchased it was just how long will it power ordinary household items during a power outage ? To test this...with the electromate fully charged, I plugged a 13" color tv with a built in DVD player into the electromate, put a DVD movie in...and checked the clock. It kept the TV... Read more

This review is from: Black & Decker VEC026BD Electromate 400 Jump-Starter with Built-In Air Compressor (Automotive)
Bought this for jumping off my second vehicle which oftens goes several weeks without being driven and for powering small devices when camping. Worked fine for jumping off the vehicle; however, used the unit to power an electrically powered air mattress inflator and it did fine. Went to plug in the small fan and nothing. For whatever reason, the electrical outlets do not work now. Tried everything.
Follow up: Just received my second unit. Charged it 24 hours. Plugged in regular size box fan and the unit's electrical outlet status light starts blinking green and shuts down after less than 2 minutes. Plugged in a small desk top fan and the same thing. Even plugged just my answering machine in and the same thing. Black and Decker must have issued a bad batch since most other reviews are positive.
Amazon has been truly amazing. They shipped the replacement model which I received three business days after filing for a return and even had UPS pick up the... Read more
