120v Power Meter Recommendation

So I had one of those P3 Kill-A-Watt meters, but after running only 80 kWH through it it's now dead. I'm sure you guys have discussed this on here somewhere, but I cannot seem to find a thread specifically related to power meter recommendations for a 120v circuit. Honestly I'm pretty disappointed with the P3 product, but it doesn't look like there are a lot of alternatives out there. I'm willing to spend the money to get a good quality product if something is out there. $100'ish would probably be my budget though.

 

Side note...based on that 80 kWH I ran through the P3 meter I'm seeing a 0.745 efficiency ratio between what comes out of the wall and what the car displays on the trip odometer.

This is the one that I use for 120 volts,  It measures to .01 amperes.

If you get it also order the mounting rail.

 

I have it mounted on a square metal electrical box with a plug and a receptacle connected to it.

 

I also have the 240 volt version permanently mounted in my garage connected to my L2 EVSE (Electric Vehicle Supply Equipment).
