The Kill-a-watt loses all data on power loss; the other does not. Also, the
displayed resolution on the kill-a-watt is a bit coarse for things like wall
warts, though it apparently has higher internal resolution. I found it
necessary to run a wall wart off of one for a full 48 hours to get
The more sophisticated model has a USB interface.

PS: For 220, you can measure the two live legs using 2 separate meters.
But in general, things like dryers and ranges will have the same
readings for both legs.

All I know is that I have never, ever had quite the sensation of burying
my nose in sheets and towels dried in a clothes drier as I had with
clothes right off the clothes line.
The lack of that fresh, clean, natural scent is what clothes driers cost
me.
