Kill-A-Watt is truly a great toy.
The EnerJar's missing detail is the power supply. Really you need a transformer which defeats the cheapness factor. There are some other ways to do it though. What most people think is to use a resistor off the main line to feed a cap and zener but the power dissipated in the resistor is silly. Even at 30mA to drive the LED display and PIC and that's like 3.5W.
Displaying the phase, power factor, and line freq is really nice.
Harmonic content is even nicer!
One thing to remember is the ground isn't ground, it's AC neutral. As such if you want to hook it up through a serial port to the computer or whatever then you need an optoisolator or something.
