What you need to know: Efergy Meter

We like:
The ten-second install time; clear set-up; lots of CO2 info; reliability
We don't like:
The boring design; that you can't set kWh cost to a decimal point
SmartPlanet judgement:
If gauging your CO2 emissions is as important to you as tracking your electricity spending, this is the wireless energy monitor to buy. It's incredibly easy to install and operate -- and works especially well as a fit-and-forget gadget if you just want to be alerted when you're splurging power.

Full review:
For some of us it's putting our feet up on train seats, for others it's leaving the top off the toothpaste, but we all need a bit of nagging from time to time. This new wireless electricity monitor takes the environmental high ground, tracking your electricity consumption and converting that into exactly how much money you're wasting every time you leave the toilet light on. The Efergy will even sound an 'eco crime' alarm if you exceed pre-set consumption limits. Continue reading...

LG 32LG5000
Stylish and with good performance, this is a nice TV, especially at just over £400 -- but the high energy use is a turn off
Sony Bravia KDL-32V2000
You won't find a better TV for picture in its class, but you will find ones with superior green credentials
JVC LT-32DG8
It's a standard TV -- the best this we can say is that environmentally speaking you could do much worse, but you could also do much better
Loewe Concept L32 Basic
It's got futuristic design, great picture quality and is one of the greenest 32-inch TVs you can find on the market
Verio Dynamo MP3 Player
This little MP3 player would benefit from more storage and a screen -- though that would mean more winding
