EDF EcoManager

I am looking at ways to reduce our electricity usage after borrowing a meter from a friend - what an eye opener watching it go up and down as appliances are switched on and off!
I saw this on the EDF website for an EcoManager and wondered if anybody had one.
It seems a really expensive way of turning things off and not very moneysaving at all. Do things really use that much when on standby?

Don't waste your money, just turn stuff off when you are not using it, and modern appliances don't use much power on standby.
Only fill your electric kettle with the amount of water you need, use just enough water to cover your vegetables when cooking, the same applies to the bath.That gum you like is coming back in style.0 -
Yes penrhn,
I always use enough water to cover my vegetables when I'm having a bath

penrhn I had no intention of buying one, you got one 'free' with one of the tariffs I was comparing.
Would you buy one of the meters (like I've borrowed, efergy)? Thinking of it being a christmas present to DH from his Dad
Kettles - we have an AGA and I'm quite good at only use the water I need. Kettle is kept on the back of the AGA so any water that is hot stays quite hot. I steam veg
