      agree
      also the title is misleading
      it's not "Mains Power" Meter
      it's only a small "power reader"

  Is that the meter that has trouble accurately reading anything that draws less than 30W?

  Feels like advertising to me rather than a bargain.

      fatbelly, keefy, please explain. If you can find this elsewhere cheaper than that's fine. Feels like an advertisement doesn't help users or reps. Come on, let's all work together here.

  Just an ad really and you can;t use the $10 voucher either.

  We originally had it priced at $25 delivered, we have dropped it to $19 and that is why we posted the bargain.

    Discount != Bargain.

    It's like a store discounting a Pen that with RRP of $10 to $5 when there were/are bargains where you could get a similar/same pen for $1.

    $1 = bargain
    $5 = discount != bargain.

    If bargain = false
    {
    Advertising()
    }

    Advertising()
    {
    While(1)
    {
    Negative +1
    }
    }

    Infinite loop down vote KABOOM!

    It's been a while since i did any coding, please ignore any syntax errors.

        What's with the down votes? LoL I indented but they cleaned it out. :(

  I do need one… Anyone got one of this model? Are they any good?

    It looks like the same one I bought some time ago from Todae for around $35 and almost certainly made in China too. I can only say that it works. I don't have any way of verifying the accuracy. So just use it as a rough guide to the power hungriness of your appliances.

    PS: If you are just going to do some one off measurements, why not ask around in say Freecycle if someone will lend or even give you one?

    I bought one from Jaycar when they first came out, around $40. They don't work all that well with small loads and has trouble with certain PC power supplies. It may have been updated since then, but I bought an Aldi power meter in the last round of sales and it gives much better readings.

  Cheapest on Ebay = $21.95 delivered, AU seller vs $19 from AGL delivered = 13% plus saving. A bargain. To those complaining, move on, nothing to see here.
