Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Complete BS product that preys on ignorance and gullibility... below article items are written by an electrician who has tested this product (1) ‘…motors in your home are inefficient and consume more energy than they need.’  Well, that’s true of all motors, of course; they alwaysconsume more energy than they deliver to their mechanical load. But it’s a mistake to believe than power-factor improvement changes that, and improves their ‘efficiency’. ‘Efficiency’ is the ratio of output power to input power. In this context, ‘output power’ and ‘input power’ describes ‘real power’, expressed in watts. Power-factor improvement only affects the motor’s ‘apparent power‘, measured in volt amperes. It has NO effect, whatsoever, on the motor’s true power measured in watts. The writer obviously is not aware of the difference! (2) ‘…we can help you reduce your power consumption.’  This is a classic error, written by individuals who know very little about electrical engineering. What’s wrong with it? Well, quite simply, you do not ‘consume power’! ‘Power’ is simply a rate: the rate at which you consume energy. So, here, the writer has confused ‘power’ and ‘energy’, probably because he doesn’t understand the difference! And, the only way to reduce the power of your load, is to reduce your load!!! (3) ‘...when motors or appliances on your property require power, they demand energy’. This sentence makes no sense whatsoever. When motors or appliances ‘demand energy’, they require ‘energy’, not ‘power’. An absolutely brainless sentence! (4) ‘…The amount of watts your property consumes is measured at your power meter andyou are billed for the watts your home or business has used’.  Pretty basic mistakes, once again. ‘Watts’ (power) aren’t ‘consumed’ and homes aren’t equipped with ‘power meters’. It’s ‘kilowatt hours’ (energy) that are ‘consumed’, and they are measured with an ‘energy meter’! And energy meters measure the amount of ‘kilowatt hours’ (not ‘watts’) your home or business consumes. Again, the writer is unaware of the difference between power and energy, kilowatts and kilowatt hours, and the fact that the meter at your property is an ‘energy meter’, not a ‘power meter’. (5) ‘…By making your air conditioner, heat pump, pool/Jacuzzi pump, and other motor-driven appliances and equipment more energy efficient (4)’. Power-factor correction does NOT make your motors ‘more energy efficient’. (6) ‘…The PowerSaver 1200 recycles (otherwise lost energy/watts) and releases it back to your motors, appliances, and motor-driven equipment/machinery when needed ‘.This is complete and utter nonsense. Power-factor correction does NOT ‘recycle lost energy’ and ‘release it back to your motors…’! This statement is scientific drivel!
