Simple Installation: No Wiring Required
Getting started is as easy as mounting the sensor to your outdoor electric meter, aligning it, and synchronizing the sensor with the cordless monitor. Once this is done, you can track real-time usage from a convenient, indoor location. The results are immediately available and can help you to make smart energy-consumption choices. You'll quickly discover that doing the little things really does add up to big savings.

The monitor's easy-to-read digital display shows your current energy usage in dollars, so you don't have to perform tricky calculations to understand what the readings mean. It also shows you the outdoor temperature, so you can account for heat used on cold mornings, and it displays your month-to-date usage along with an estimate for your upcoming bill. This advanced feature can work with any type of billing rate, including flat rate billing, separate peak and off-peak rates, or tiered billing structures.

Track Little Changes that Become Big Savings
A convenient appliance mode feature allows you to track minute-to-minute changes in electric consumption as major appliances are turned on and off, so you can see where your money is going. This makes it easy for you to decide, for instance, which electrical appliances and accessories are really worth their cost, and which of your older appliances are costing you more money than they're worth. You can also quickly tell how much you save by switching to compact florescent light bulbs or instituting other conservation measures in your home.

Once you have the Energy Saver Series Power Monitor set up, you'll be surprised how quickly the everyday choices you make in your electrical consumption add up. In fact, lifestyle changes based on the information your family gets from this monitor can save you up to 20 percent a month on your electric bills.

Enjoy Durability and Widespread Compatibility
The weatherproof sensor at the heart of this system is designed to handle tough winters, humid summers, and everything in between, so you can rely on it for year-round accurate performance.

This power monitor is designed to work with 90 percent of current electricity meters, including those with visible rotating wheels, those with single optical ports, and some models with dual optical ports.

What's in the Box
Cordless monitor station, weatherproof sensor, one shim, and one alignment guide.

Families that use the Power Monitor to change their behavior and save energy can reduce their electricity bill by up to 20 percent.

Tools and Hardware Reviews of Black & Decker EM100B Energy Saver Series Power Monitor

Customer Review: Hard to Use
Summary: 2 Stars

Well, if your interested in this.. I have to say, buyer beware. Here's the downsides to this,
1. Calling tech support is like calling your grandmother. Dont bother to ask because the tech support place wont have a clue as how to set it up. We tried 2 or 3 different times to set this up with tech support and each time was well, like dealing with grandmother. No clue of how something like this should operate.
2. You have to stand in front of the unit your pondering on for some amount of time before the display changes.. What I'm saying is, if the light is on, then you turn it off, it will show the difference in power consumption.. great.. so i know now that it cost a penny to run a light bulb.. I bet if i turned everything off.. i wouldnt have a power bill.
3. Can you really say this shows the difference if multiple units are running? I mean, i have the dryer, the dishwaser, the tv, the light on.. etc.. so when i turn one off.. is that difference or is that the absolute?

4. I'm more upset that tech support couldnt get the thing to run like the advertisment. The ad make it all seem so simple to use.. Well if tech support couldnt get it to work like the ad, then its probably not that simple.

So far I've learned that running my monitors on my computer cost about 5 cents an hour. Is that allot.. well i dont know.. is that an hour here.. or there.? how do you determine the energy savings part?

I think overall this device will make you second guess everything you do.. hoping that you will see a difference in what your bill will be..

Do i suggest buying it.. no.. probably not.. it works as well as my weather radio that in 1 year, only activated once.. and it was an alarm for a distant county.... then the power supply burned up.

If you want to save money on electricity.. then just do the following..

Turn stuff off..
Dont leave the light on in the bathroom or hallway or similar cause its almost dark and you cant see.. unplug things that you dont use all the time.. and just be conserative of the the things you leave on..

thanks,
Drue
