I just got fed up with it and dumped it uncharged and dead in the lecky cupboard.
I know what things take round me, if it makes heat it costs money.
What are members experiences?

I had electric and gas ones installed just a few months ago. If it keeps losing the connection, place it nearer the meters. The current usage in watts is likely to be there on the optional displays. It was there for me.
The thing to watch out for in assessing current usage is that items such as fridges, freezers, immersion heaters can suddenly start up. That would give a false current usage in watts.
