## Description

Power Meter Plug Energy Monitor Watt Backlight LCD Display Electricity Usage Consumption Analyzer Voltage Amps Wattage KWH Outlet Socket, Updated Version 180° Viewing Angle : desertcart.co.uk: DIY & Tools

Review: Plug-in power meter. Tracks watts, kWh, cost. Backlit, safe, easy to use - This plug-in monitor is built for tracking individual appliance usage—ideal for spotting energy hogs like heaters, kettles, or gaming setups. You plug it into the wall, then plug your device into the monitor. It shows real-time power draw, total energy used (kWh), and even cost estimates if you input your tariff. The LCD backlight makes it easy to read in low light, and the 180° screen tilt helps visibility from different angles. It stores usage data even after unplugging, which is handy for multi-day tracking. The overload alert kicks in if a device exceeds safe limits—solid for safety. ✅ Pros Accurate readings—tracks watts, amps, volts, and kWh Backlit display—easy to read in dim areas Cost tracking—input your tariff for £ estimates Memory retention—keeps data after unplugging Overload warning—adds safety for high-draw gear 2-pack value—monitor multiple devices at once ⚠️ Cons No app or smart features—manual tracking only Not suitable for hardwired appliances—plug-in only Limited to 13A devices—not for heavy-duty site gear No export function—can’t log data externally Slight learning curve—requires setup for cost tracking 🧍‍♂️ Personal Verdict Used this to monitor a heater and fridge—gave clear readings, helped spot energy spikes, and confirmed which gear was draining the most. For under £20, it’s a proper tool for cutting waste and keeping tabs on power-hungry kit.
Review: Easy to use, doing a good job and keenly priced - I have only had the meter for a week or so. We bought it to replace a much older unit (different model and manufacturer) that had mysteriously become very inaccurate. Everything so far has been quite pleasingly simple. The massive advantage over the old device is that this meter will integrate the power reading over a period of time to give total energy consumed in kWh. The old meter would only give current power consumption. If the equipment under test has fluctuating demand (e.g. anything with a temperature controlled heater or pump), it is very difficult to get a good idea of energy usage without this feature. I have compared the voltage reading against an accurate digital voltmeter and get agreement with 0.5%. I cannot be sure the current range is as accurate, because I could only compare it with a current clamp working at the lower end of its range, but the readings were consistent so I have no reason to doubt the plug-in meter. I do find it strange that nowhere on the unit is there any mention of the manufacturer or model number, although there is a label giving the electrical specifications. The instructions are very brief, as mentioned elsewhere, but then they'll get lost anyway! It is obvious how to operate (except I have not used the cost function. I am perfectly capable of multiplying the kWh buy the charge rate using a calculator). The most important point to remember ( I will probably write it on the unit) is that you can clear the readings and restart the timer by holding don the "FUNCTION" and "UP" buttons for a few seconds. For us it is really useful that we can clear the readings without having to interrupt power to the equipment for which we were measuring the power consumption. I have not had any need to press the "RESET" button yet. The price was very keen and it's doing a really good job for us so far. I have no reason not to give it 5 stars

## Questions & Answers

**Q: I understand most figures but what is "power factor" ?**
A: As degree qualified electronics engineer, I can say most of the answers here are rubbish. Although, there are several definitions if you look up on the internet, but I will write here the exact mathematical definition for it.

Power factor is a measure of the phase angle difference between the voltage and current.
Concepts of real and apparant power come into it.
Real power is a measure of the power where the voltage and current are in phase. Apparant power is a measure of the power when the voltage and current are not in phase. 

It's to do with resitive and inductive/capacitive loads. Inductive loads are devices which use magnetic fields in their operation such as electrical motors and even heating elements and electrical irons which contain heating elements implemented as coils of wire. A purely resistive load results in the voltage and current being in phase with each other. It is capacitive and inductive loads the which shift the phase of the current relative to the voltage, either forwards or backwards. 

The mathematical definition is:

P=V.I.Cos(theta)
P is the power
V is the voltage
I is the current.
Theta is the phase angle difference between the voltage and current waveforms.
The full stop symbols in this equation means "multiply".

Cos(theta) is the Power Factor. And the Cosine of any angle is a value between 0 and 1.
A value of 1 represents the voltage and current waveforms are in perfectly in phase with each other, where the phase difference is zero degrees, and therefore the cosine(0 degrees) is the value of 1.
 
A power factor not equal to 1, means there is apparant power being consumed.
As residential customer you don't need to worry about it. You don't get charged for the apparant power (not yet anyway although that might change in years to come with smart meters). You only get charged for real power.

The maths involved and true understanding is university degree level, though they will teach the basics to electricians. Don't worry about it. You can ignore it in a residential setting.

**Q: Will it display as low as say 0.2 watt accuratly ?**
A: Yes, the Modes 2 cumulative electrical quantity smallest energy value on the display is 0.001Kwh.

**Q: Is there a way to zero the data (kWh, Lo watts, hi watts) without resetting the entire unit and then having to re-enter the cost per kWh?**
A: Hold Function and Up. That resets the accumulated data but doesn't reset the cost per kwh.

**Q: I'd like to monitor the voltage in a socket for a period of time (24h and a week). Can I do it with this product? How does the memory function work?**
A: It has day functions but I’ve never needed to record the data to that extent.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Honest review not written by AI
*by P***S on 2 January 2026*

This has worked exactly as expected with no issues. It’s easy to plug in, simple to read, and gives clear, useful information straight away. The display is bright and easy to see from different angles, which helps more than I expected. I’ve been using it to keep an eye on power usage and it’s done exactly that. No fuss, no problems and I'm happy with it.
