Electricity Saving Box

03/02/2011 5:29 AM

Today, I have read an advertisement about "Energy saving box" claimimg upto 30% energy saving.

Do any of my fellow have used it? and can determine what were its results?

If it saves, then how much? its working principal etc?

Regards.

They have been discussed on here before. They are a scam and don't work as advertised.

Use the search engine for "energy saving" on this site. By the time you've finished reading it you'll be as fed up with the subject as we are.

As kramarat say's they are a rip off.

It's cheaper to go round at intervals an switch off unwanted loads.

No capital investment, either!

Use it to save energy but it will be an unselfish act.

Don't fall for these marketing gimmicks. The best energy saving device is a sensible human being who switches OFF unwanted loads.
