Have you ever seen a GFI fail?
When they fail catastrophically they put out a lot of heat then.

I have found that even after you turn off certain AV toys they still continue to suck down just as much power.
About like a wall warts power consumption when its unhooked versus actually charging or powering some small item.

I am thinking about buying one. The price on their base model units has just about been cut in have over the last 8 to 10 years.
I see anything from electrical trouble shooting, bearing health monitor, automotive, welding preheat and post heating, HVAC, energy use and conservation, security, extermination and hunting.
