Good product February 21, 2008
M. Jenoff (Baltimore, MD)
I just got this item a few days ago and it seems to be working well, as advertised. I plan on getting a generator soon and I wanted this load tester so I can determine how many watts I need. The refresh rate is very fast and the numbers constantly change. Another poster stated that the amps does not have a decimal. That is incorrect. My unit does have a decimal for amps. My only concern is that wattage posted on the display is a little different from the manufacturers numbers. Not sure who is correct. Over all good investment.

I don't normaly set time to do a review but this product is just a must for people that are trying to use a portable generator properly. The digital readout is clear and quite accurate as specifified by manufacturer's specification sheet. This load tester is well worth the price as compared to other Load testers on the market that can cost up to $150.00. Also for all you that are trying to conserve energy, this device can show how much all your appliances and electronic equiptment draws power while on standby mode. Be informed and stop wasting money and watts!
 DON'T LET MY HOUSE BURN November 6, 2007
Robert J. Davidson (grand rapids mich)
My house almost caught fire while I was on vacation.
I had too many electrical appliances on one circuit . luckily, my best bud stopped over to feed my cats & saw the house was full of smoke.
He carefully looked for the source & saw a plug smoking which burst into flame as he watched.
He unplugged the source cord, opened the windows and saved my home from burning down.
I thought the fuse on the power cord would protect me....WRONG !
With this tester I have kept the amps down to a safe level on each of my outlets.....
This tester should be in everyone's home...IT REALLY WORKS !
Very simple to use.
I give it 5 stars !

Excellent product. Does exactly what it is advertised to do.
Measures wattage or amperage with a simple click of a switch.
Very handy for measuring appliance loads for an RV.

I have two problems with this tool:
1. When I have the selector on "Amps" the last digit is supposed to be a decimal. So where is the dot then?! E.g. the display shows 37 instead of 3.7 (you wouldn't want to have 37A running through your circuits at home, trust me). Perhaps I just have a bad one, but I doubt it because LCD segments don't normally burn like LED segments.
2. The display is updated too often jumping from one value to the other all the time. It's really annoying. The refresh rate should be longer, e.g. every 2-4 seconds. This is a design flaw done by people who probably did not understand well what AC is.
I was going to buy a Reliance transfer switch for my generator but in view of the poor quality of their tools I'll buy another brand.
