Thanks! I just ordered the new one you are showing here. I appreciate your review.
@@RamblinBobReviews It is working perfectly. All I wanted to know is, how many amps is my band's PA system drawing so I will know if I need to split up circuits at certain venues. Now I know, for the low price of $12.99!
Great review. I was looking at the Kill a Wat brand but went with the one you like more here.
Yes , finally a review that explains the battery back up for capacity test on a power bank. Thank you.
I’ve seen YT videos of these cheaper ones catching fire or melting/scorching while plugged in longer term.
I’d Spence the extra $20 for s newer model Kill A Watt.
bought 4 of these and they have been running live on this channel for 6-12 months
However, had the following problems with the kill o watt meters in the past.
1 x P3 International kill o watt meter ground just break off on us in the past.
1 x P4400 kill o watt meter die in the middle of testing with a internal short and leave a burn mark on the unit.
1 x P4400 kill o watt meter screen stop working after about 6 months.
(all bought from the local menards and walmart stores)
P.S. We always test everything fully before we leave ANY electronics plugged in for long term, every company seems to get cheapy quality from time to time :(
P.P.S. The key is to fully test whatever you buy BEFORE you use it when you are not there ;)
P.P.P.S. LOVE THE "PINK FLOYD - DARK SIDE OF THE MOON" PIC !!!!!
P.P.P.P.S. AND THE JIMI HENDRIX REFERENCE IN THE NAME !!!!!
Extra props on your proper grammatical usage of Post Post Post Script (P.P.P.S.) instead of the incorrect PSSS, ect. 😊
Why does the factory want us to reset overload protection to 1800 watts? Also, is Hz for real will it actually change up or down or just stays at 60.
1. I believe because most new homes have 20a circuits rather than the older homes with 15a circuits.
*and most people have older homes ;)
(hence the 1800 watts reset)
2. The Hz will change from 50hz to 60hz
(Tested this with a power station that allows changing the hz)
*You do not want to run stuff on 50hz in the USA.
@@RamblinBobReviews Thanks RB. So just 50 or 60? Like if I tested a portable generator that was set at 62.8 Hz would the
watt meter show 62.8 on the screen?
@@MrBritrider Not 100% sure, I only have something to test this at 50hz or 60hz
note: I never seen it float from 59 to 60hz or 61hz, so i am going to assume that it only has 50hz & 60hz
I bought one of these meters and after looking at the instructions still had one or two questions so watched a few videos on UA-cam. I found this particular video to be by fat the best of them all. Thank you.
Thank you very much :)
