 kill-them-watts Nov 16, 2008
By dannyb
"ex-medic"
I've been using the standard (roughly) $25 KAW for years and love them. This newer unit is in the form of a "powerstrip" which.. includes a plug in cord, so makes it much easier to place the meter in an easy-to-read location. It also is lit, AND... unlike the original, stores the readings so you can unplug and move it around. (The traditional model, still available, resets to "zero" when unplugged.)
My only hesitation is that the one I purchased was intermittently dead on usage and I had to, at my expense, ship it back to the distributor for replacement. Aside from that big annoyance and concern, I love both versions and use them frequently.
(because of that hiccup I'd suggest checking the "return" policies of the store).

 meh Aug 13, 2008
By J. Dang
I bit the bullet and purchased this thing. However, I received a black version (I prefer it).
-It doesn't distinguish the reading between each outlet
-it's chunky.
-Blue LED on button
-backlit LCD
Features seem just like the ones on the lower end kill-a-watt.
Knowing this, you're better off getting a surge suppressor of your own choosing and a 4460 or a 4400. There's a limited 6-month warranty on this surge suppressor.

Bulky and not high quality Aug 27, 2008
By P. L. Huang
"bookworm"
The item turned out to be very bulky roughly 2in by 2 inches.. not like a normal power strip that is about 1 in thin. Also, the item I received was defective in that the Off button would not turn off the power strip at times. I contacted Tech Support and I paid $$ to mail it back for a replacement. However, I think the Customer Service was not that friendly nor due they reply to emails. I got my replacement power strip back in box with no letter or explanation of what was fixed. My replacement was also bad so I wasted my shipping money. Now , I am getting a 2nd replacement. This is a horrible experience for a customer.

Keeping electronics under control Aug 31, 2008
By Melvin A. Kunicki
I had not expected much since there are similar products but you can only plug one device to it. This product let's you plug a group of devices. Now I can see how much it costs to run all my IT stuff on my desk at home. Helps me decide if I really need to keep that box "on" around the clock. Great when trying to convince the spouse that shutting off the TV when you fall asleep does save money. Well worth the money.

 A REAL Money-Saver !!! Nov 29, 2008
By SlikLizrd
"Slik"
From reading many customer reviews about the P4400 model and the others, it looks as if the P4320 Kill-A-Watt Power Strip solves ALL the problems mentioned in the more than 100 reviews that I read before choosing this unit.
Features include a 6-ft. cord with grounded plug, Back-lit screen for easy viewing, and 8 outlets --- EXCELLENT for testing the power consumption of anything from a Toaster-oven to a PC with all the peripherals in place and running.
It SHOULD pay for itself in energy savings in less than 1 year -- and if my initial results are favorable, I will buy another one.
Amazon's great prices and rapid delivery make this unit the logical choice for the energy-conscious buyer that's also budget-conscious, too.
The P4300 Kill-A-Watt Power Strip was a GREAT help in tracking down and eliminating energy-wasting appliances and electronic gear throughout the house.
I had contemplated buying just the Kill-A-Watt Power Meter, but decided to utilize the many advantages of the Power Strip, instead --- and I'm GLAD that I did !! Using the P4320's multiple outlets, I was able to pinpoint which of my computer's peripherals (which included computer, monitor, cable modem, wireless router, sound system, printer-scanner-copier, and telephone answering machine)were consuming the most power while they were being used in their normal function. That cannot be done with ANY single-outlet meter,regardless of price !!
Moving to the audio-video equipment, I was able to eliminate wasted power by piggy-backing some un-switched equipment onto switched curcuits, thus eliminating power consumed by equipment on "standby" mode. Thanks to my new P4320, I have reduced my monthly electric bill by over 20 percent !!! --- I highly recommend this product !!!
