I bought one similar for S$75 at Sim Lim TOWER (not Sim Lim Square) basement shop. Very hard to find.

It works great and can calculate the cost for an plug in type devices.

If you want, get it there.

He ordered from Amazon because he frequently buys books from them. If you order using the cheapest shipping option, it’s not that bad, and shipping times are usually 2 weeks. I’ve heard that Sim Lim Tower and the bigger NTUCs have similar devices, but are quite costly.

i’ve borrowed a killawatt from my friend coz it was him who introduced it to me, and it works great — the part about the laptop adaptor really is true, and i went about testing several things like my dvd player and washing machine.

oh, and my canon flatbed scanner *really* does draw power even when it’s not in use too…it’s made worse by the fact that I probably only use my scanner like 1-2 days in an entire month, so i’ve taken to actually just plugging it out nowadays.

That’s really interesting. Have you purchased one of them yet? I’d be interested to see what your kill-a-watt testing finds out for you.

I always leave my laptop converter and printer plugged in…but a 9% drop would be nice.
