You stole it. I paid $20. You should have bought all they had and sold them on Ebay. They are $20 on Ebay.

Yup, really good deal, I'd buy another one just because its cheap at that price. Don't want to admit what I paid for mine.
BTW: I have a $60 digital volt meter that is off by about 3 to 4 volts when compared to my Fluke digital meter. The Kill-a-watt is just nearly dead on, so close it squeaks.

Is it a genuine "Kill-A-Watt"? Or Harbor Freight's Chicago Electric version...

I wish Kill-a-watt would make a model that could handle 30 amps. The 15 amp unit makes it impossible to monitor total electrical usage of a RV.
And don't even think about using the 15/30 amp adapters on it....the Kill-a-watt melts at the female side.
