The Kill a Watt, designed by P3 International, helps the user to assess how efficient appliances really are and cut down on costs. The user simply connects these appliances to the Kill A Watt and it will measure consumption by the Killowatt-hour and display this information on an LCD screen.

The user can calculate their electrical expenses by the day, week, month, even an entire year. They can also check the quality of their power by monitoring Voltage, Line Frequency, and Power Factor.

Key features include:
-  Large LCD display
- Cumulative Killowatt-Hour Monitor
- Forecasts Costs
- Also displays Volts, Amps, Watts, Hz, VA
- 0.2% Accuracy

"Now you'll know if it is time for a new refrigerator or if that old air conditioner is still saving you money. With the amazing Kill A Watt™ you'll know “Watts” killing you” [1].
