User Comments about the Reliance Controls THP103 AmWatt Generator Appliance Wattage/Amps Load Tester

Seems to be close in watts (60w light bulb shows 59w) but shows 330 Amps on a 550 Amp blender.

I purchased one of these at the local Lowe's home improvement stores after reading reviews here. So I returned the load tester Guess what, I brought it home, plugged in the toaster to the tester, switched it to watts and noticed that half of the display digits didn't work. Sometimes it worked if you squeezed to tester.

This appears to be a very durable ammeter, that's why I purchased it instead of the "Kill-a-watt", but forget checking those small transformers (wall-warts) or other very low current appliances. Overall, this tester appears to do what it advertises, very well. This seems to be unreliable somewhere around 20 watts or less, which was a disappointment in checking out so many of these types of devices around the home. Obviously, it also does not have the capability of checking usage over time like the Kill-a-watt, but you should know that going in on this deal.

Excellent product, simple to use and it does what it's supposed to. Found several items using too much electricity while they were off and now they are on a power strip and truly off.Definitely recommend this product.

The refresh rate is very fast and the numbers constantly change. My only concern is that wattage posted on the display is a little different from the manufacturers numbers. Over all good investment. I just got this item a few days ago and it seems to be working well, as advertised. Not sure who is correct.

I plan on getting a generator soon and I wanted this load tester so I can determine how many watts I need. Another poster stated that the amps does not have a decimal. That is incorrect. My unit does have a decimal for amps.
