What do you think the OP needs to be looking for?
He needs to know the difference between 150KWh and 300KWh which is either 50% or 100%He needs something accurate to check his meter, not something that shows when an immersion is switched on.
Double oven but use only the main fan assist oven on the whole - guess at 4kW used for about 1 hour per day so 4kWh per day > 28kWh per week > 120kWh per month
Your tumble dryer probably uses more than you'd think. Mine accounts for a large part of my total bill.just wonder what might have been using the rest of the power.
Water is gas boiler and HW tank - there is an immrsion heater but it has never ben used.How do you create hot water?
Yes, I had figured that after I originally posted I guess at about 1kWh per use.It will not be a constant 4kw, rather once to temperature it will be off and on, mostly off. CH systems draw some current when running, winter is the time when they are mostly used.

Do you have a power shower?
Just a bit of an update
I have recently submitted a third reading and the meter is definitely wrong. I bought an Owl from eBay and that shows what I would expct to be using over a 24 hour period. Looking at the meter the dial is not rotating and will only rotate briefly when tapped
Owls are not accurate. They tend to read high as they don't take account of voltage or power factor. They only measure current and you cannot get kWh from that.Just a bit of an update

As usual you are talking completely irrelevant nonsense. This has no significance in the context of this thread. You seem to be posting simply for self-aggrandisement. Please - just stop.Owls are not accurate. They tend to read high as they don't take account of voltage or power factor. They only measure current and you cannot get kWh from that.
How can it possibly be? It does not measure voltage, it does not measure phase angle. A kettle is a resistive load which is what an Owl assumes.My owls are accurate. I sometimes check by flicking on the 3000W kettle for a moment. They are not so accurate below 350W, but good enough that I can see when a light is turned on of off, or an extractor fan left running at night.
WRONG. Watts = current times voltage times cosine of the phase angle between them.Measuring current and multiplying by 240 is a really good way to show Watts. You should try it.
It does not measure voltage
