The unit worked fine when performing a testing the power consumption for a few minutes. However, you may run into a problem when was using the Kill A Watt to test or monitor the power used on a device for an extended period of time. The unit is rated at 1875 watts ( Max Current 15 Amp and Max Voltage if 125 VAC ) In my particular case the receptacle on the Kill A Watt began to melt and turn brown when attached to a device that draws about 1,311 watts which is way below the maximum ratings of the Kill O Watt.
