The price of electricity has risen steeply over the last couple of years and is set to increase even more in the future. Ironically, we've never had so many gadgets, gizmos and appliances and this all adds up to some high blood pressure moments when the bill arrives.

Luckily help is at hand with the Eco Eye Electricity Monitor.

Very easy to set up the Eco-Eye is a masterpiece of design simplicity, whilst featuring many features only previously available on high end energy monitors. It is made up of two main parts - a wireless sender unit which attaches to any live cable (usually at the meter) and a display unit which can be wall-mounted, freestanding or portable.

The large display unit is easy to read and the cost of supply can be analysed by hour, day, week, month or year. Whether it’s turning off at the plug rather than just using standby, or just turning off a light, it will give you a cash incentive (potentially amounting to savings of hundreds of pounds per year) of changing your habits.

You'll find yourself wandering round your house switching stuff off, and you'll see the power (and cost) savings in real time. Just don't blame us if you end up sitting in the dark for hours!

Even better the meter uses negligible electricity to operate and the estimated battery life is around six months.

The Eco-Eye is available online for £43. Click here.
