I know someone who just spent $500 for four of them. Is this for real??

I say it is nonsense...maybe you save 5-10% of electricity use

I'm normally skeptical, but since it uses advanced intelligent digital technology, I'm sure it's okay.

Each power saver is tested at the factory and tested by us before it leaves for its new home. Occasionally, the green light or lights are not working, but the unit is working well. These LEDS are there for appearance, but do not have any effect on the performance of the unit.

LOL! What a scam.

One of the most beautiful things about the internet is that one no longer has to attend Engineering School to learn the Laws of Thermodynamics.

I bet they work best when hooked up to those high efficiency electric space heaters.

Save 25% to 40% on your electric bill.

If I get 4 of these, can I eliminate by electric costs altogether?

This appears to be a surge protector.

It’s the exact same device that was supposed to drive pests from your home. They just put a new label on old inventory when that scam ran it’s course.

Not sure about this. But, APC Guard, a UPS manufacturer, does claim a savings on electricity by using their product.

Will not reduce electric fields even the nonharmful ones.

If it works as a surge protector, it may help protect appliances but otherwise should not increase their service life. It would be a VERY expensive surge protector.

There is no way it would save any meaningful amount of electricity.

I just read the web site. It’s what’s otherwise called an “Active Power Factor Corrector”.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_factor_correction

But it’s not going to save you the kind of money they say unless you have a house full of lightly loaded induction motors or a lot of rectifier loads that don’t have built in PFC. For example, the computer at which you are reading this post almost certainly has PFC built in.

From the company FAQ's...

If your house is greater than 2500 sq. ft. and less than 5000 sq.ft and has one electric panel box, you need two pairs of power savers. Place the first in an outlet closest to the panel box, serviced by the right side. The second is placed midway up the box in an outlet again serviced by the right side. Do the same for the left side service.

Oh brother! What possible difference could it make if you plug two of these devices into circuits on the same phase next to each other or not. We're talking near speed-of-light transmission of electrons. This is as silly as those hi-fi enthusiasts who worry about left and right speaker wires being the same length.

It could be a plastic box with some LEDs which helpfully light up when it’s plugged in, and the only extra power in use is the power of suggestion.
