Power Saver box review. Want to drop your electric bill?
Here is a product review of a unit that is supposed to be a big power saver.
Its marketed as being very intelligent and learns and improves your appliances performance while making them more efficient.
I think you will enjoy my findings and if you have any ideas please share them.
Im not a professional power tester so please give me some ideas on how to better test these power savers. ;o) Also if you have a product you would like me to review please contact me.
All the best,
-Pete

Im in the resell business and we have had a huge influx of china made stuff come through the auctions where I buy. And I wouldn't touch 99% of the stuff from there. It is all very cheaply made, prone to break quickly.

I sometimes sit and wonder, "why the heck do businesses keep buying this crap to sell". of course, i already know the answer to that. But I still sit in awe and wonder sometimes at the lack of integrity in manufacturing from over there.

@scutter4christ haha.. You have that right.. Cheap is always the answer.

I fix cheap computers all day long and the high-end stuff rarely unless its self-inflicted..

All the best,

The Chinese are brilliant. Just leave it to them to help you save energy.

@FireThunderTV Well I will keep reviewing products until I find a winner..

haha..

For electric use, not to save power, I use two different models of Kill-A-Watt. Both essentially the same, except that the more expensive unit has a setting where you can enter electricity cost in $ per kilawatt-hour. After a period of time, especially for appliances that cycle on and off like freezers, and air conditioners, it will project future energy costs by the week, month and year. You might purchase LED lights from earthLED, and run comparison tests for future videos.

@jazz61021 Thanks for the comment.. I have a new kill-a-watt model on its way.. I will check into the lights.

Thanks,

you were saving your neigbors electricity bill while leaving it plugged in unloaded

Electric meters measure consumption in watts, not amps.

These devices do not reduce the watts consumed at all.

watts = amps x volts x power factor

Resistive loads have a power factor of 1, but things like motors have a lower power factor.

These devices will lower the amperage reading you get from a motor, but they raise the power factor in proportion, so the watts are the same.

Your electric meter only measures watts, so these devices will save you nothing.

IT WORKS, THEY ARN'T LIEING, IT SAVES POWER WHEN YOU PLUG IT OUT!

lol, capps:)

Good job! You have shown the fallacy of these devices. They don't work. All they are is a box with capacitors. Don't be fooled. With alternating current, current doesn't mean power like with DC. These devices can reduce current for an electric motor type load but that doesn't reduce power - not the same thing/no increase in efficiency. The power company charges you for power, not current. Don't buy. It's a scam.

connect ammeter at supply input terminal and not after device....

[kalpesh4430]

i m a electrical engineer from india, please see the location of measuring current, it's very important..the magnetizing current keeps oscillating from inductive load to source, this device acts as a source for magnetizing kVAR...so connect ur ammeter before this device.....this device switches capacitor to compensate reactive kVAR's.....it will definatly save electricity upto 15% ( only when inductive loads like, motors or transformers are running)....:-)

@fixtable I am studying electrical engineer..so if you sychronise the phases what do you save??the power that is lost on cables??don't think it's so much power..

[georgerelax7302]

@alurizar0101 in greece charge in houses is in watts not in VA..so if this works it may has more consumption for energy supplier but it will decrease your bills..of course almost all devices used in home have almost the same watts as VA. I don't think this works..

[georgerelax7302]

at the end he says the truth..you see this on the internet you probably wanna stay away from them..
