We also run courses in the house and all visitors can see the device - it usually provokes comments of "we must get one of those". They cost approx. 99 euro in Ireland and I think you need to see this expenditure in terms of investment - it's great to have a device that actually provides some very useful and surprising facts in the face of so much conjecture/opinion/guess-work in the world of energy use and living sustainably.

I'd love to give it a try, but i'm sure like many, i can't afford that kind of expenditure. Like you say, they should be fitted as standard. Awareness of appliance energy consumption seems to be pretty low, i don't think there is enough information out there at the moment, probably becuase it's not the main energy drain in a normal house. Problem with appliances is they are, like you say, very hidden, almost impossible to track down, being so distributed throughout a house.</p> Sounds like a really useful device, but i too was shocked by the £79.95 price tag.
