MANHUA TG44ME Energy Meter Plug Socket: 16A, Monitor Energy Usage, Cost Tracker, LCD Display, Kill A Watt Alternative, Power Analyzer

Plugs in line with an appliance and measures exactly what it draws in real time, voltage, current, wattage, power factor and running cost, on one LCD screen, rather than switching anything on a schedule the way every other product in this timer switch category does. This is a monitoring tool, not an automation one, worth being clear about that distinction before buying if the goal was actually to schedule an appliance on and off.

A Kill A Watt style replacement with a higher 16A/3600W capacity than the classic version, and an internal battery that saves logged data through an outage rather than losing the running total every time the power cuts.

Specifications

• 16A / 3600W maximum load
• Real-time voltage, current, wattage and cost tracking
• Internal battery preserves logged data through outages
• No scheduling or switching function, monitoring only

Useful for identifying which appliances actually drive an electricity bill before deciding what's worth automating with an actual timer, homes, offices and landlords tracking tenant usage all get genuine, specific numbers rather than guessing which appliance is the culprit.
