Power Measure?

Any users of the 'Kill-a-Watt' out there? I'm thinking that as a temporary line insert you can measure input power to your system. I would use it on my amplifier to see just how much power I DO draw and if there are any voltage sags associated with cranking it up.

They are not very expensive......I've seen 'em for <25$ internet and never in any brick and mortar stores.

I have NO stake in the company or any sales/ stock/ etc.....

Found one at the local Fry's for 20$. Good Find.
I need to make up a pigtail for it (safety first). I my first measures, I discovered the power factor function. This is a revelation to me and the connections to many stereo phenom is awesome. I now know why some speakers are simply a 'bad load'......very low PF.....
Please post any measurements taken............
