the local ones are all very ex, even Kill A Watt in ebay is much cheaper. Functions are all similar, unless there are other reasons I don't see why they justify such pricing.

found one in ebay: http://www.ebay.com.sg/itm/Power-Energy-Meter-Monitor-Electricity-KWH-Analyzer-/260945950644#ht_1302wt_1039

Agree too, as long you make sure the supplier you buy from already has ample of reviews, they should be fine. I don't buy from people who come in and sell achoc. Only those bigger ones. Lead time is a issue thou

Ebay must make sure plug is uk and 230v. Nice belkin, does it calculate power factor?

Yup, the one I got from ebay allows you to choose the UK 3 pin plug version.

As for Belkin, it comes default with another type of plug. I guess you have to use those $1 adapter but Belkin is still worth the try. Cool looking!

No problem bro! :thumbsup:

I just ordered one from ebay to try it out, update you when I receive it!

As for the Belkin model, I found the one meant for UK plugs but is slightly more expensive.
