What was your assessment of the instructions? Was it easy to set up? Tracy Quinn McLennan: The instructions were easy-to-follow. It is easy to use and set up. Dan Newberry: I barely read the instructions—just the quick-start guide—and I was able to go from there. It was pretty self-explanatory, although setting the inputs with the tiny input buttons reminded me of trying to set an old alarm clock in a hotel room. David Masher: I found it very easy to use. It was harder to find what the electric company was charging me for kilowatt hours than is was to input the info. into the device. Greg: Was the size of the device problematic for anyone? David: It would have been nice if it did not cover both outlets—so size did limit its long-term use for me. Tracy: Yes, I would have preferred that it covered one outlet only. Dan: Yes. In order to attach it to a power strip, the configuration blocked the majority of the available outlets. Trey Simmons: An extension cable would have been nice. Halldor Utne: For me, the size wasn't a big problem, but it wasn’t easy to read it where it’s dark. David: It does needs a light. Tracy: The display should illuminate. Halldor: I looked online and the manufacturer does have another model that combines a power strip with a backlit display.
