Small complaint; no back light. Not a big deal.
Would also be cool if it had a small built in re-chargeable battery so you could pop off the breaker the display is plugged in to . . .

We were actually searching for a 1,000 watt phantom load the other night, never could figure out what the heck it was. Got tired of flicking breakers

I wish that the CT's were cheap enough to have one on each circuit.

We were considering hacking kill-a-watts for the job.

Another pipe dream was to loop wire around the load wire to give off a voltage signal (based on amps drawn), calibrate it with a kill-a-watt, then build little led bar graph volt meters to watch each circuit. Would be super cool even if it wasn't very accurate.
