Belkin Conserve Insight Energy-Use Monitor Reviews
| 162 of 171 people found the following review helpful  Simpler and easier to use than a Kill-A-Watt, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Belkin Conserve Insight Energy-Use Monitor (Electronics) The Belkin Conserve Insight is a very nice piece of hardware and has a number of advantages over the Kill-A-Watt. Firstly, there are three outputs.1) lbs/CO2 per year (or month) 2) $/year (or month) 3) Watts Both the CO2 and $ setting can be adjusted to account for the cost and CO2 intensity for your local utility. Averaging. One very nice feature is that after 45 minutes, the Conserve Insight goes in to averaging mode and displays the projected CO2 and $ per year. This is excellent for appliances that are turned on and off like a laptop or a refrigerator. The Watt display, however does not average. It shows the realtime updates. Location, Location, Location: The small display for the Conserve Insight is located on the end of a 5 foot long cord. This is much better than the Kill-A-Watt that requires you to crawl on your hands and knees to get a reading. Also, the Conserve Insight is very nicely styled and looks great on a desktop...

I was warned about the lack of functionality, but thought to myself 'surely, it can't be that bad'. It turns out it IS that bad. Here's what I did: After setting up the price per kWh, I plugged my small washing machine in it and ran a load. I could see the real time wattage as it was running through its different stages, and that was great. At the end, it showed me the dollar / year and dollar /month amounts. However, that is meaningless to me. I would like to know how many watts or dollars the machine used during the cycle, and it will NOT show you that. I'd like to know whether it cost me 10 cents or 30 cents to run a load. Same thing with my TV. I'd like to know the price of watching TV for one hour. Kill-a-Watt was bulkier but offered exact and valuable numbers, not CO2 crap. 44 of 48 people found the following review helpful  Your Own Outlet Monitor, By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Belkin Conserve Insight Energy-Use Monitor (Electronics) I was waiting for this product to be available for long time since I wanted to measure my computer system power consumption.This product is uniquely convenient because you can put the display at eye level, i has a 5-foot tethered cable, not like the similar priced [[ASIN: B000RGF29Q Kill-a-Watt EZ]] and others which have the display right in the device plugged into the socket, this makes reading or monitoring very hard for most of us who has the wall socket low and usually hard to reach where all the cables are. This was a Deal Breaker for me. The price is relatively OK to Expensive, Base on the quality and features, I think $20 should be the sweet spot price and would make the majority buy it. The manufacturer did not say the % accuracy, but based on its reading with nothing plugged in, it reads 0-0.5W, I would guess it has <0.5% accuracy, someone correct me if i'm wrong. Features: It has 3 Buttons. Button 1: Planet image, reads... Read more |
