or just...? ...speculation?
All the reviews seem to say the same thing; that you will save some money, but not enough to make it worth buying the product. But don't you have to actually try something first before you can really review it? It sounds like people are just being discouraged from purchasing a product that could potentially save a considerate amount of money on their monthly utility bills. The Power-Save recycles the power lost from inductive loads by storing it in its capacitors. So instead of those loads drawing from the utility, it draws any additional power needed directly from the Power-Save. People with a 600 square foot home may not see a use for such a product, but there are homes out there quadrupling that size that may benefit from this product.

Well the theory behind balancing inductive with capacitive loads has been known for about 130 years. The power company does this all the time.. Look up a power pole in an industrial neighborhood and you'll see some rectangular boxes-- capacitors, to null out some of the many inductive motor loads in industry.

Their video is HIGHLY MISLEADING! They show a motor drawing 5.8 amps before power saves, and only 2 amps after switching on the power saver. Which is true, as far as it goes.

What they do NOT show you, because it would make their sales go down to near zero, is if you put a load on the motor, it will draw its rated 6 amps with or without "power saver".

That is, "power saver 1200" only saves power under unrealistic conditions-- when there is no load on the motor.

--- And the price is ridiculous-- they're charging about 10x the cost of capacitors.

And oh, they're using the wrong kind of "power meters" in their demo. A real power meter would show actual watts, not the apparent volts times amps, which are a whole other kettle of fish. They're using cheap and misleading meters, that's the only way they can demonstrate "savings".

The actual power meter on your house is an actual real wattmeter, so it won't show a 6 amp load with a free-wheeling motor. The power company has been using real wattmeters for about 100 years. People do not like paying for apparent power.
