Well i have found some different accurate information on the Kill a watt ez's accuracy.
Its 0.5 to 2% accurate.
The 0.2% i read in multiple advertising's was for voltage

RMS voltage: 0.2% - 1% max
RMS current: 0.3% - 1% max
Active power watts: 0.5% - 2% max
Power quantity kwh: 0.5% - 2% max

The ez meter will take up the slack from the whole house meter with its low 100 watt resolution.
I have a snake pit of cables & wires behind the tv, plugged into two power bars for my computer, modem , tv and stereo & sub that is going to be the first thing i test for vampire power losses.
Having a light switch wired into the wall power outlet would be a big help. What to do unplug it every night ?
Hopefully not, and hopefully my remote control on/off switch for Christmas lights will suffice at stopping all but its own drain..
