Pros: Might work as a paperweight

Cons: pure BS

Doesn't work, couldn't work, won't work....sorry Cynthia. This is based on a valid theory used in large industrial applications, but it will not save a nickel on a residential electric bill. The demonstration is very convincing to the lay person, but it's "smoke and mirrors". I'm an electrical engineer...I know from what I speak. It's sad that companies like this prey on the good intentions of honest people....

Pros: Simply plug in outlet or power strip.

Cons: None Yet

Have been using this product for over 2 years and it works extremely well. We bought he optional test meter with it and was able to locate sources of

wasted energy we weren't using, but wasting to the power company. We were able to cut our electrical consumption from $180 to $135 within our first 60 days.

And we have continued since that time to keep our electrical bill low.  

 

I have 3 units in my home and would recommend them for everyone. I was a bit skeptical at first, as I'm a Broadcast Engineer and purchased and tested it to prove it wouldn't work. After using for 90 days, I was sold on its value and how well it performed.  I believe the product sells itself. 

 

I had shared my experience with business associates and they,too, bought one and were very pleased with its results. I believe the company under promises

and over delivers on its product.  It was an investment that has paid for itself in less than a year's time. But as I look at it, it was great to get a product that delivered more than "promised".

Pros: good only to the party selling it

Cons: The concept has no engineering or science to support it

 This type of item claims to do what is impossible.

Pros: It does not consume electricity and has a life expectancy of 10 years. It does not have to be installed by an electrician and is small and unobstrusiv

Cons: people don't believe that it works, but capacators have been in use in industrial settings for years reducing the overall consumption

The general consensus by the members here at GreenOptions who know a lot about the technical side of electricity is that the PowerGuard is a scam.

Also, the only things "Cynthia" has contributed to the GreenOptions community are this review and two forum posts on how wonderful the Powerguard is...

 

This product has worked in my home. I am also a serious conservationalist, reducing my carbon footprint where ever possible but new technology always seems to be suspect. Before I purchased it, I saw it tested on a mini household panel board and was skeptical prior to that. The real test was in my KW/Day consumption which has also been reduced on a consistant basis over the past three years, (I compared my consumption on my power bill from the years before I bought the item.)
