Wendy Knowler from Consumer Watch recommends Eco-Eye monitors in the Sunday Tribune, 7 March 2010
We’ve been voted ‘Best Electricity Monitor’ by www.smartplanet.com
What Smart Planet thought about Eco-eye:
‘We like: The low price; that it's simple to fit and to use; the eye-opening information it provides…A couple of years from now, electricity meters will probably be beaming power consumption data straight to our iPhones. Until then, monitors like the Eco-eye are a great way to track just how much power we're using -- and to instantly see the financial and environmental benefits of moving to a low-energy lifestyle.'
Overall Score: 8.5
Score breakdown:

As you can see, the product receiving the best scores from our panel was the Eco-Eye Elite. One panel member said, "I used this product myself for a week and was startled how expensive kettles, toasters, TVs and even opening the fridge was! I'd thoroughly recommend purchasing such products because you can quickly identify where your money is being spent and therefore identify ways of saving money and doing your bit for the environment. 10/10!"

What UK Energy Saving say: "Energy Saving is now becoming a way of life for us all and a good way to start is to check how much electric you use at the moment. The Eco-Eye Elite will do just that for you by telling you not just how much electricity you use but also how much it is costing and the impact on the environment by showing you how much your CO2 emissions are".
