SUMMARY

The Lectro Power Saver, a $30 plug-in device, claims to enhance energy efficiency by smoothing out incoming power, allegedly inspired by Nikola Tesla. However, forum participants unanimously conclude that the device is fraudulent, asserting that it cannot alter the actual energy consumption measured by utility companies. The consensus is that the Lectro Saver does not provide any real savings on electricity bills and should be regarded with skepticism.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of electrical power consumption and billing
  • Knowledge of power factor and its implications

TL;DR
Has anyone reviewed the Lectro Saver "electricity saving box". It claims to make the incoming power to your house more efficient by almost 50% and thus saving much money on your electric bill.

Welcome to PF.
It would help if you could give us a link to the product.
My expectation is that it is yet another fraudulent product.
 
(link removed by mentor)

This device is simply plugged into the outlet, so it must load the system or circulate current within one cycle = change the power factor.

You pay for the real energy you use.
The lectro saver is insufficient to change that.
It is a fraud.

Of course they do.
 
Nothing more to discuss. The device has been determined to be a fraud.

Closing thread now. Thank you all for your research into the product.
