Read full review of DIY Kyoto Wattson 01

 
8.1
DIY Kyoto's Wattson employs a canny way of making electricity usage come to life -- it glows a dull blue when you're not using much, and lights up as a fiery red when using lotsa watts
Typical price £150


We've long wondered how to see electricity, literally, without singeing off our eyebrows. So we like that the Wattson makes it easy, by displaying a large, clear screen that shows how much electricity we're using at any given time in our home, either in watts or in pounds. Intrigued by the prospect of saving himself three to 15 per cent on his electricity bill by using the contraption, our editor, Adam, scrutinised the Wattson after living with it in his home. This luxury energy monitor will set you back £150.

How much? I mean, seriously, you'd have to save a lot of electricity to justify the cost... plus there's the 5W its consuming to account for.

Are the wind turbines in the background meant to be ironic?
