Tools and Hardware Reviews of GreenPlug Energy Saver
Customer Review: Buy from the 'Used and New' merchants.
Summary: 3 Stars
This GreenPlug energy saver comes with a label that says to make adjustments according to the manual before you plug it in. But there was no manual provided and the supplier was not helpful.
I notice that the 'used and new' suppliers are cheaper and ship with manuals. I still think that this is a worthwhile gadget. I am going to return this one and buy from the other guys.
I found out when I went on the web that the company that made the plug went out of business probably because the technology started to be built in to newer refrigerators starting in 1992.
Customer Review: Doesn't Last Forever!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had the Green Plug on a 1988 refrigerator/freezer in my garage for 10+ years. Unfortunately, when I returned from a deployment following Hurricane Ike, I found all items in the refrigerator/freezer rotted, having been at room temperature for at least 3 weeks! I pulled out the unit, removed the Green Plug, plugged the unit directly into the outlet and it has worked fine since then. I just wish there had been some way for me to have known the Green Plug was about to "give up the ghost!"
I live where summers are Hot~ 100+ degrees~~ So, my garage got really hot many days. Even at that my power bills were somewhat less than other homes around me of like size. So, I know the Green Plug worked!! Now,I find I cannot get another...boo hoo, I would still purchase another one!
Customer Review: Forgotten but useful?
Summary: 3 Stars
I got one of these at some point in the past, probably the mid-1990's, and used it to power my then-new refrigerator. Recently the fridge started acting up and I had reason to drag it away from the wall; lo and behold there was the GreenPlug, all hairy with dust and mottled with who-knows-what from 15 years of being hidden behind the fridge. I don't know if it helps -- I can't find anything online that tells me what the thing is supposed to do, exactly -- but given that we have had no problems with the fridge in all those years, I'd have to say it doesn't hurt, either. Mine is still 'working' in that I can power the fridge with it, but for now it is back on my workbench awaiting a finding on what it actually does.
Customer Review: GreenPlug energy saver has a MAJOR disadvantage!
Summary: 1 Stars
Had this product for around three years. I believe it does what it claims in terms of energy reduction through frequency clipping.
I recently found EVERY AM RADIO in the house was unuseable. The interference was very easy to trace to this device. Had to toss it out.
Customer Review: Intresting little device.
Summary: 3 Stars
I inherited my parents 1976, avocado green JC Penny's side by side refrigerator. When they owned it they had to have it serviced nearly every three years for defroster coil replacements. When I got it, in 1991, I stuck it in the basement (cause the wife hated it) and use it as a second frige. At the same time I connected up the Green Plug to the Frige and we have not had any problems since. It does run a little quieter, and cycles on more. The frige and freezer seem colder even though its thermostat is turned down or up. As old as this frige is, it's a power hog. This Frige has been move thrice and keeps on cooling. I think this little device save a little on the power consumption and contributes to the frige's longevity. When we buy a new frige now, they are now more energy efficent than 10 years ago.
