same here - bought the E2 saver and have been monitoring it for the last 2 months. So far no savings yet. Will take it to the vendor for refund if no diff in electric bill tis month too

It is a PF CORRECTION and only work for motorised mechanism. if you are electrical wise, just buy some capacitor and diy and, plug into the wall socket. but, of course not recommended.

lastly, it is a scam product.

don't bother with this product, i've tried and after two mths asked for a refund.....i had also asked myself if i unconsciously 'over-used' and went to the extent of measuring the usage on daily basis for few days, with and without the device....no diff

Do not buy this product. I have tried it few years ago. After 3month usage, no different. Take back for refund and show them my bill. The manager bla, bla, bla and ask me try again. Lastly cause some surge current and blow my few adaptor and trip my breaker. Take it out and throw it away.
To save current, Just change your fluresent light to energy saving bilb. Use inverter aircon and reduce the heater running product. Nowaday, electrical item already have this kind of energy saving device.

The one I bought last two months is like this one http://forum.lowyat.net/index.php?showtopi...ectricity+saver

I monitor the meter every day as I am the only one in the house during day time. So Monday to Friday are having same pattern on electrical consumption i.e. computers and fridge. At night, only lighting, TV. No airconds are used during this test period.

The main power consumption is from fridge.

I have tried to put this device in many places. The current one I am placing it nearby the fridge and noticed there is reduction of electricity from daily 12KW to 9KW.

I have tested this for one week for the current location placed.

Today, I will move this device to other location and see whether it will be back to 12KW. Before this location, I placed it nearby the main phase but consumption is 10-12KW.

Will let you know after I have tested all places.

Hi. Like to share some info about this device with you all. Not to brag, but I worked at an electronics design company for 8 years as a senior member there. I did a research on this item (such called power saver) before.

Few points to note.

1. Inside all of these boxes are just industrial non polar capacitors. You can get it at electronics shop for ~RM5 each.

2. The capacitors will indeed filter out the noise in electrical current, and thus making your total power reduced. This is because:

Total Power = Real Power + Reactive Power

The cap reduces reactive power.

3. Old TNB meters (those with spinning discs, measures TOTAL POWER), so if your house is still using that type of meter, using the caps will help to reduce your bill to a certain point. (especially if you use a lot of aircons/washing machines)

4. The NEW DIGITAL TNB meters is already designed to measure REAL POWER ONLY. So, TNB does not charge you for any reactive power that you use anymore (true for houses only, but for factories, tnb still charge for reactive power under a certain level of Power Factor).

________

Secondly, I have tested a product (I will not mention brand) of such energy saver at my own house, over a period of 2 weeks, and there are basically no difference between having the device plugged in or not. (My house has the new TNB digital meter).

However, these people will still manage to make sales because,
power consumption fluctuates by a lot every month. Like for me, last month was, 170, this month is 155. So it is hard for buyers to say it doesnt work and claim back their money. lol. Also, since the price is something like RM388 or something, ppl who wanted to try paid by credit card. But the cc fee is non returnable. This is how they earn profits.

Anyway, just sharing.

But base on what he explain, the old meter measure the total power instead the real power only. Hence, the bill is higher.

So does the new meter give me a better bill reduce? I don't no the consumption is accurate till a new meter is instal or try out.
