Seems to work well, but either this one or the one I posted arent linear as I can change the load and the -.02 display difference between them changes, but that might be cable losses in my original. I also bought a switchable 1 & 2amp test load for $1.37 DELIVERED TO THE DOOR from China. I'll be checking the accuracy on the resistors just to make sure.
scvJeff, that one does not count mAH consumed, like this one:

Professional Review of above USB meter:

This meter has proven helpful in my understanding of why some outlets charge various USB devices faster than others, and that the quality of the USB cord, and its length can make a huge difference.
This linked meter can test voltage at the end of a micro USB cable, and the voltage drop can be significant.
I'm warming up to the memory functions but it would sure be nice to have a sheet of the various button combinations. I just saw this morning that I can switch it to watts, as well as see a powered on timer. Not bad for $6, and I'm certinaly not whining about +-.01v difference between two $5 meters
