Review: Works Perfectly - but may need the reset button pushing when you first plug it in from new - I bought this despite the poor reviews from a couple of other customers. Sometimes things are intuitive, other times you need to read manual. With a device that has so many functions but only 4 buttons it's probably going to need a quick manual reference to get started with anything other than the simple options. One of the functions is how much things are costing to run. The meter allows you to enter how much a KWh costs from your suppliers. However the user manual (it's tiny, so more of a quick start sheet) says hold the cost button for 3 seconds then use the function button to select cost, then the up/down to set it. However (as per other reviews) no matter how hard I tried this did NOT work. After a little think and a cup of tea I went back and tried again, same thing, no way to change the cost. THEN I pushed the tiny reset button for 3 seconds to make sure the unit had a good reset since it had sat in the box since the factory. Once I'd reset it properly ALL the functions operate as per the user manual. So, for all the people struggling, try resetting the device and it will probably work perfectly. The 3 positives for this meter are: 1) The large back light display 2) It has both Hi and Low functions as well as constant read-out, so you can tell the maximum and minimum current your device has ever drawn, not just the present and total. 3) It can measure power used in both directions. Most people only need to measure from the socket to the device but if you're using something like a solar grid tie inverter you may want to measure how much current you are feeding in to the mains and this device does it (which combined with the max/min/total functions is v.good). I will be buying at least one more. Review: Love it, perfect for monitoring your GPU mining farm! - Does exactly what it says on the tin. no issues, no setup just pure ease of use. This is a high quality product, with fast shipping and simple to use. I recommend this for anyone looking to measure device output (I use it for GPU Mining) only thing i didnt realise when buying is the LED backlight goes off after 5 seconds, i would prefer this to stay on as trying to read the numbers under a table when this is off, is quite hard to do as the viewing angles arent great, but for the price, its very good ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B071NZ53WR | | Batteries Required? | No | | Batteries included? | Yes | | Best Sellers Rank | 410,195 in DIY & Tools ( See Top 100 in DIY & Tools ) 182 in Power Monitors | | Customer Reviews | 4.0 4.0 out of 5 stars (296) | | Date First Available | 14 May 2017 | | Item Package Quantity | 1 | | Item Weight | 195 g | | Item model number | XD-01136 | | Manufacturer | ceyo | | Part Number | XD-01136 | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Product Dimensions | 15.49 x 4.57 x 7.11 cm; 195.04 g | | Style | Modern | ## Product Details - **Brand:** YOUTHINK - **Item dimensions L x W x H:** 15.5 x 4.6 x 7.1 centimetres - **Item weight:** 195 g - **Power source:** Corded Electric - **Style:** Modern ## Images ![Electricity Usage Monitor - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51+q7mUTv3S.jpg) ![Electricity Usage Monitor - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61bI3rSi1BL.jpg) ![Electricity Usage Monitor - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WOzvqOCQL.jpg) ![Electricity Usage Monitor - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/6102dBHHSiL.jpg) ![Electricity Usage Monitor - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51-+IRwZpAL.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: I have monitored the cost of the first appliance I want to measure and I want to reset the amount measured to zero without resetting the cost per unit** A: I have his problem too. The device will rest itself after a certain time of no use (12 hours?) but there doesn't seem to be a way to manually do it unless you press rest and re-enter your price again which isn't ideal. **Q: My monitor has arrived, have set it up, reset it 3 times bbut still doesn't seem to be counting costs or usage. Shows voltage and frequency** A: You need to set the kw price for it to count costs etc. If you don't, it will stay zero. Press and hold "Cost" until the first digit is flashing. Use the up/down key to set this number, then press function once to move to the next digit, using up/down to set that value and so on. Once you've set the last digit make sure you press "cost" again to set your kw price. If it doesn't show your usage cost after that it might be faulty. Unfortunately if you reset you do have to re-enter the kw cost price again too each time. Hope this might help. **Q: can i leave it plugged into a pdu? id like to see what amps/watts the srvs are connected to it pulling. thanks.** A: No idea I have not brought one **Q: Hi, thanks for the answers. if my devices connected to the pdu exceeds this uk power meter, will anything blow? im worried about the devices more than** A: The power meter is intended to be run from UK mains, 3 pin socket, so it should be able to handle 3 kilowatts. You are not supposed to draw more than 13 amps through single power outlet anyway, so if you're drawing more than that with your PDU, you will probably blow fuses in a mains plug somewhere. I can't recall if this has its own internal fuse, they often do, but you can't tell which fuse is going to blow first, the fuse in this product or the fuse in a plug plugged into it. The best advice I can give you is this: do your power calculation on the total load connected to it and ensure it does not go above 3000 watts. If it does, you might blow this device, you might not, but you will probably blow a fuse somewhere in a plug somewhere, and if you don't blow a fuse with too high a load connected, then you should be worried, because that means the cables in your installation are going to get too hot and could catch fire. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Works Perfectly - but may need the reset button pushing when you first plug it in from new *by D***P on 2 August 2017* I bought this despite the poor reviews from a couple of other customers.

This is a high quality product, with fast shipping and simple to use. I recommend this for anyone looking to measure device output (I use it for GPU Mining) only thing i didnt realise when buying is the LED backlight goes off after 5 seconds, i would prefer this to stay on as trying to read the numbers under a table when this is off, is quite hard to do as the viewing angles arent great, but for the price, its very good ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Its an ok unit it has its annoying ways but you'll get used to it *by S***. on 29 July 2019* Be careful with the overload protection this item will not shut off if over loaded it will display overload on the screen and make a noise but thats it.. It will not shut off and it is not a surge protector so bare this in mind. Ok firstly the screen on this is complete rubbish... (See my attached vid) You have to be looking at the screen at a ridicules angle. now considering most people will have this plugged into wall sockets that are generally down low viewing this from above you cant see anything hardly at all (see vid) The unit does have a back light that will come on when a button is pressed which is good but doesn't change the fact you cant see whats on the display unless you are exactly Level with it or looking from more of a below up angle (good luck if you have it plugged into a wall socket) So the unit seems to calculate quite acutely. I got this item for 3 main functions.. To see the watts my device was using To see the kw/h my Device was using and To see the cost of my device for the time used.. Now by far the worst part of this item is how it displays the cost part.. So here is my Example.. I tested a fan on this item The fan i was using pulls 32 watts per hr on its lowest setting So to keep this simple the calculations to calculate your energy are my fan is 32 watts multiply by 1 hr = 32 divided by 1000watts (1kw) = 0.032 of 1kw multiply by cost of electricity per kw for me is 15.18 this equals a cost to run my 32 watt fan for one hr of 0.48576p so £0.04p 4.8p to be more exact.. This device does calculate this cost correctly as you can see in my pic but how it displays the price is quite confusing because of the decimal point. So I'm not sure does this unit only show in pence.. or pounds and pence because going by the picture it is 0.48 and the instructions say it will go as high as 99.99?? 99.99 but what Is it £99.99p or is it 99.99p ie 00.01p under £1 so i have no idea and also the instructions show that its in euro but I've no idea if that even matters as a unit rate is a unit rate. So you will probs need to set this to view kwph usage and then start calculating your cost from that if because the units way of doing it is confusing. Also good luck with the instructions they are more useful to blow your nose with than to actually explain how to use the unit There is also no way to 0 a menu unless you completely reset the whole unit and then re enter your cost.. Also rapid tables do a good energy cost calculator if you google the name. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/47959952-electricity-usage-monitor](https://www.desertcart.it/products/47959952-electricity-usage-monitor) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
