Hi guys,
After a simple plug into the wall, devices plug into it energy meter so i can monitor how many watts im using.
Want to check both my mining rig, and my inverter in my car when i plug devices into it.
I noticed Jaycar has one for $20 here: http://www.jaycar.com.au/productView.asp?ID=MS6115
But it looks pretty cheap and nasty (I know its only $20..)
Anyone know any better ones?
Energy Meter (watt meter specifically)

That looks quite similar to this doesnt it? That i could get tomorrow, and not pay the shipping fee's?

Most of these (the Jaycar one included) seem to be quite inaccurate at lower power levels.
I found this one http://steplight.com.au/monitor/plug-in-electricity-power-me… in a quick search with Google. They say it's accurate, and that it has a 30 day guarantee.
