Most of the cheap kill o watt meters publish an accuracy of within 1% or better. I can plug mine up to a 200 Watt lamp, with 200W bulb and kow meter reads 197W. Same for several other appliances of known wattage, all register within 1-2% accuracy.

Here is someone who did an independent review of cheap $20 kow meter, again found accuracy within 1% comparing to known wattages.

Here is another from Johnny guru forum using cheap kow meter compared to Valhalla Scientific 2101 Digital Power Analyzer (~$650 and supposed accuracy to .2%), again cheap kow meter tested accuracy ranged from 0 to 3%.

Sure they are not acceptable for the power company in terms of accuracy, but if my kow meter says I am pulling 650W from wall, it isnt going to be more than 10-20W off.

But since I am not planning on using this info to dispute the power company bills, I can accept 1-3% error. Even 10% error, which never have seen would still mean at 650W, not more than 65W off.

When you say these are so inaccurate, what percentage, and where are you getting your information? Can I see the study, which kow meter, when it was done?

1. I'm NOT the #1 UK Female OC'er officially... hence the "?"
2. You'd be suprised the comments I get for turning up at LAN and then pwning people at COD4
3. The number of jaws been broken and second even third looks I get when I give OC'ing input suggestions
4. I have neither? Just look at my avatar for crying out loud - a drunken Scot
