Rep Power: 7 | Is it one of those things which also was being sold on that teleshopping channel no tv? If so anything from them never works and is pointless buying! |

| Aditya | I don't think it works in real worlds, in place of these electricity savers you can try using florescent tubes or can try to use energy efficiently and in better way like: Don't leave home appliances on standby mode (turn off when not in use) Avoid using washing machine dryer when it is really not required (In India we get good sunlight and weather is always good to make clothes dry in air) Avoid using tubes and bulbs during day time and try to make best use of sun light/day light I am sure still there are lot many other ways to save electricity |

| Platinum Member | What kind of wall unit device is this? How will it save any electricity? I may be wrong but this is just like some ad given by a diet product which says - take our formula everyday and loose 20 kg in 2 months. There are no shortcuts. Just as there is no (real) substitute for exercise, there is no alternative to your own methods of saving electricity:

Rep Power: 2 | I was just going to ask the same thing. How can something you plug in save electricity? Now I am very curious. I don't generally buy into claims like this, especially from door to door salesmen. Could be a total waste of money. |

Rep Power: 2 | I think the appliance monitors current surge. And if any difference in current it uses power from its capacitors (as this appliance stores power for 10 seconds.). therefore other appliances work perfectly. The power is not wasted by them. This is German technology. This is the explanation given by the salesmen. I am not sure about it. they may be and may not be correct. |

Rep Power: 1 | The suggestions given by members are too good like being proactive and conservatively using electricity rather than believing that an applicance which itself consumes electricity when plugged can ever save electricity. For truth visit this link Make a power saving plug. http://wisetechie.com/blog/2008/05/3...-do-they-work/ |
