** I was wondering whether people might be able to answer a question for
me ?
While walking around Texas (DIY store) the other day I came across a
"power saver" device. This box, the size of a double-adaptor plug, is
designed to replace the conventional plug on a domestic fridge / freezer.
According to the blurb on the back, the device helps to save 40 - 60 %
of the electricity which the freezer would normally use. When the unit
is "saving" electricity a red light on the front of the saver plug
comes on.
The unit costs 25 pounds and according to the cost saving information
printed on the carton this unit would pay for itself in approximately
one year.
What I wanted to know was how does this unit operate the freezer
while using less electricity ? If the unit does work, why don't they
fit these devices as standard to freezers and other equipment ?
Thanks.
