Identify how much your household appliances cost to run, quickly and easily with Basetech's energy consumption monitor.
Programme in your basic electricity tariff as pound per kWh (this can typically be found on your electricity bill), plug in the consumption monitor to the mains, then plug the appliance you wish to test into the monitor. The forecast function calculates the cost to run the appliance for a day, month and year. This data allows you to plan and budget your household's electricity consumption to avoid unexpectedly large bills.
Use the monitor's total operating time function to determine how long an appliance is on for during a period of your choice. This function is particularly useful for appliances that are not constantly in operation throughout the day such as fridges or heaters. The monitor measures and displays an appliance's consumption in V (voltage), A (current), Hz (frequency), W (effective power), COS (power factor) and kWh (power consumed in one hour).

Q. Hi, is there a device that monitor power consumption for just one appliance (refrigerator ) and that would communicate with an app so that it can be constantly monitored on mobile phone all the time in example?
A. Hi Arkadiusz, thank you for your question. Please see 23-1524 for suitability.
Q. I use a similar product to measure the kW consumed by my greenhouse over a winter. If however I have a power cut the meter resets to zero. Has this device a memory for the power function?
A. Hi C R Spicer. Thank you for your question. This meter has a coin cell battery backup memory to allow the reading(s) to be stored in the event of a power cut. Please see the data sheet for more information.

It works.

Although I haven't tested the advanced features it has, I just wanted it to see the watt consumption and it does that perfectly.
