Purchase options and add-ons
- KNOW WHICH APPLIANCES ARE DRIVING UP YOUR POWER BILL: Plug this electricity meter into your appliances to see their true efficiency. Our meter can measure voltage, wattage, current strength, CO₂ usage, electricity costs in kilowatts per hour, and more — in real-time. Now you’ll know if it’s time to replace that old dryer with a new energy-efficient one.
- PROTECT YOUR VALUABLES FROM A POWER OVERLOAD: This electricity meter comes with overload protection, which notifies you when the unit is drawing more electricity than a circuit can safely handle. “Overload” will blink on the screen to warn you that the appliance needs to be unplugged to prevent overheating.
- LARGE DISPLAY MAKES FOR EASY READING: Unlike other power meters out there, ours features a large LCD screen with clear-digit display, making it extra easy to view your real-time electricity usage and cost readings — even when you’re not close to the meter.
- BATTERY BACKUP SAVES ALL READINGS DURING POWER OUTAGE: With a built-in battery backup feature (two 3.6V batteries included), this power meter will save your electricity usage readings, cost readings, and all settings during the event of a power outage.
- EASY-TO-USE RESET BUTTON: If an abnormal display appears on the power meter’s screen or the buttons don’t respond, you can quickly reset the device by pressing the small “Reset” button, located between the “Energy” and “Cost” buttons.

Product Description
Added dual tariff mode, you can set two electricity tariffs at different times as needed to calculate electricity costs more accurately.
Home Electricity Usage Monitor
Take Control of Your Energy Usage
According to the U.S. Department of Energy, a significant portion of our electric bills - 20%, to be exact - can be attributed to devices that are either plugged in but not in use or in standby mode. To save on costs and determine which appliances are worth keeping plugged in, the BALDR Power Meter can be connected to your devices to assess their efficiency.
Overload Protection
The initial parameter of overload is 1875W, you can set the max load power of this power meter by yourself. When current load power goes beyond max data the word 'Overload' on LCD will keep blinking to warn the users.
Power Consumption Measurement
- This power meter calculates the energy cost.
- Easy to use and promotes awareness of energy consumption.

I was not popping breakers, but to me that is not a good indicator. If a breaker does not pop you could still have an unsafe situation. Now I have a little peace of mind knowing I am operating within safe limits and I can move the lights around to ensure the load is balanced and not excessive on any one circuit. I just leave it plugged in with the light timer in the outlet so I get a total, including the timer, of the load on the main circuit I use for the lights in the grow tent.
I have two reasons why this light did not get five stars. The main one being it's not readable from even the slightest angle. So when I was going around my house checking various circuits I had to get down on my knees and be directly in front of the screen to see the numbers. And I mean directly in front. As little as maybe a 15 degree angle in any direction and you can't read the display. The second issue is they should have made the plug rotatable so you could flip it with the ground plug up or down. Some of the outlets in my house have the ground plug down and some up for various reasons, and as there is no code, at least not in Michigan, dictating the direction of the ground this should have been taken into consideration. Especially considering the display is difficult to read from an angle which just exacerbates the issue.
The meter has other features I do not use so I can't comment on them, but it does what I need it to do so I am happy with the purchase. If you are purchasing this meter to leave in one spot or check outlets every now and then, I can recommend it, however, if you are purchasing this meter to use for checking outlets on a daily basis, I would suggest you find one that has a better display.
This is an accurate gauge of how much power is being drawn by devices. You can see if just about anything is a power hog or not. This will allow you to help identify what might be driving your power (energy) bill up. You can plug anything in to it (as long as it has a 2 or 3 prong plug) and tell what it is doing; Coffee maker, Hair dryer, meat freezer, lights, or in my case a treadmill.
The problem is that there are not much instructions with this (like none). And the reset button is recessed (so that if you have to do many resets, then you need a small tool or ball point pen. And there are a number of features or measurements to this that I do not need, yet I don't know how to use them, and end up cycling through them to get to the 'AMP' reading which I need to reference.
If you own a treadmill, then this is pretty much indispensable. If your treadmill starts drawing too many Amps, then it will blow a fuse (best case), or blow the lower control board (read: $400.00 part).
