Kill-a-watt power meter is available at eBay-India through their Global Easy Buy. However, note that this line of products is only for 110-120V AC voltages.

Rs.2250/- is too much is this similar to this
CRESCENT Original Power Saver and Line Tester | eBay

crescent is only 140/- Rs...

popularly known as line tester and power saver? Does it really work???

Even i had researched about this in internet and major people asked how can a device which is plugged into plug save electricity...

It itself should consume electricity.. ?

Ya.2000+ bucks is too much for that.But i need it to measure the power wattage consumed by my various appliances.
Crescent and power meter are really two different things.watt meter will tell you the wattage consumed by an appliance( and optionally will calculate units and cost also) while crescent as listed claims to be a power saver.I don't know whether it really saves electricity..:-?
