Now I'm no electricial but I think the chances of that working and reducing your electric bill as they say are somewhere between slim and none!

Looks like a bit of a scam to me.

my thoughts indeed

why I ask is one of their vans arrived in our front drive a few minutes ago mistaking us for our neighbours across the road.....who are obviously thinking about getting one!

If this were possible, it would have to be on the incoming supply, not plugged into a socket. However as it's not possible I don't suppose it matters where you put it, but I could make a recommendation for anyone that has one.

If you want a serious recommendation, return it as unfit for purpose. For something more jocular you'll have to use your imagination.

Snake oil. Improving the power factor of a domestic supply has no effect on your bills.

Just had a quick look and these type of things have been discussed on here before, and the experts say they are not worth it.

Take a look at this thread

As we have discussed several times - including in the thread posted by Geordie above - these are a complete waste of money.

However I have been puzzled how they dare make such outrageous claims of savings; and I have an idea!

Should you have enough spare money to [strike]waste[/strike] spend to generate your own electricity by solar/wind or even your own diesel/petrol generator then power factor correction is a factor to be considered.

Obviously if you are one of the 99.999% of people that get your electricity from the National Grid they are a waste of money; but could this be the 'get out' clause for such misleading rubbish?

Hello to everyone.

It always amuses us Doctors when members of the general public put
forward their non-scientific theory's in relation to certain events or products.

I have provided this link which should dispel any arguements as to
whether or not the energy saving product called Power Tune works;
