Back in high-school, my science teacher taught that the Watt as a unit of power tells us how efficiently electrical energy is converted to some other kind of energy – such as heat, light, or mechanical motion. However, classroom theory doesn’t always apply to the bottom line, relevant, real-life question: How much is this costing me? That’s why there are toys for grownups such as the Kill A Watt EZ Electricity Usage Monitor, an instant classic.

This gem displays the dollar amount for electrical consumption of any plugged-in device. We’ve all stared in bewilderment at an electricity bill and wondered how much of the total is due to a refrigerator, an air conditioner or a microwave oven. Now you can know not only how much power a device devours, but how intense is the expense. Do you own a power strip with a slew of transformers wedged in — for a phone, a modem, a network wireless base station, a laptop, or more?

Remember, even if a device is switched off, an external transformer will continue consuming voltage when plugged in and warm to the touch. The Kill A Watt will calculate the cost and can forecast expenses by the week, month, or year — with eight critical units of measure displayed on a large, easy-to-read LCD display. It’s great for anyone looking for ways to save money or to save the environment. But it’s ideal for anyone who simply doesn’t tolerate wastefulness.
