We've had one for half a dozen years or so.

As has been said unless you take ages scrutinising it whenever you turn stuff on or off it makes absolutely no difference.

IMHO if I want to make a cuppa then I'll put the kettle on. The smart meter whizzy gadget will go ballistic but so what - I want a cuppa.

The current crop of TV adverts are, as far as I'm concerned, totally misleading. A meter in itself can't cut down your usage and therefore the bill. Only you can choose how/when to use electrical stuff but I suppose you may be better informed about just how much power your electrical appliances use and therefore how much they cost.
