A quick search appears to show that the old Kill A Watt P4400 can be purchased
for around US$17 but the cheapest I can find the EZ P4460 is around US$39, and
this seller only posts to US destinations.

sells the EZ P4460 for US$41.95 plus US$11.95 postage which makes it around
US$53 to buy direct from the US. But then you have the problem of the 115Vac
input voltage to overcome and the need to use plug adapters. I think the higher
price (AU$69.95) from ATA etc for the Australia specific version is well worth
it.

Spotted in the latest Renew magazine.
After the ATA shop recalled the low cost energy meter (same as the Jaycar
one) due to it being innacurate and basically a piece of crap, they now
have a new one available.
$69.95

and

It is an Australian version of the very popular US Killawatt EZ model.

2% rated accuracy.

Still nowhere near as cheap as the US model though (US$20).
