There are units available for $20-$40 that will give volt amp and accumulated volt amp hours on a LCD screen. Haven't seen one that gives watts and watt hours but the cheap ones can give a good comparison for what you are after. Last time I saw a good price was on newegg.com, but I have seen the same unit other places.

As I considered trying to figure out how much electricity the old one used compared to what the new one will use I began to wonder if there's such a thing as a meter you can plug into an outlet and then plug something into the meter to find out how much electricity is being used. Is there such a thing?
