    I have been trying to buy a Tesla Saver ECO for some time now. Or its replacement, which was sold on Allegro.
    Some man shows a movie in which he has 3 fluorescent lamps from office lamps.

    What do you say?
    To take. Is it just a scam.
    For me, the most electricity consumes are: Refrigerator, freezer (2 units), boiler, vacuum cleaner, mixer, chainsaw, computer, TV set with tuner. LED bulbs have been around for some time.

    Do I really have to buy the original. Because I know perfectly well that it is not.
    In the center of the device is a block capacitor with a very large capacity.
    Advise me. I will be grateful.
    Where is the cheapest to buy. On Alibaba.com there is no ...

    Do not buy, rent, take off the diagram and take measurements.
    Maybe it will finally be possible to overthrow Ohm's Law?

    Buy a minimum of 4, the power plant will pay you back.

    And seriously - FRAUD, big earnings for the originator.

    This is a typical deer magnet. Here you will find a similar device with a schematic.
    This is a way to sell a device worth PLN 2 much more expensive.

    Better invest that money in newer, more energy-efficient equipment. I personally have a TV CRT 14 ", which consumes as much electricity as my newer TV 42 inches. Sometimes it is worth investing in newer equipment and connect the boiler during the heating season to the boiler room if you live at home. co-financing for them.

    Know yourself and find your way ninja.
    And don't believe everything you see on the Internet. - Here you go, and you don't have to thank.

    There are fifty topics on the forum about these devices.
    One big nonsense - this is a shortcut of all of them.

    Probably a hundred would accumulate on the Electrode itself. In the rest of the Internet - infinity, because there is more and more rubbish, only under different names - now they brazenly use the name Tesla, after all, fashionable lately.

    Well ... not current, buddy ... only energy ... active, but also reactive (inductive or capacitive).
    Haven't you noticed that these crooks always use an ammeter for "testing", that is, they measure the current (amperage) - it works on the imagination, doesn't it?
    Now take a look at the counter and the invoice. What the meter counts and what do you pay for? For what physical quantity and what is its unit?
    Aren't you surprised that no smart guy dares use a wattmeter? He knows perfectly well that his readings will not change, and neither will the counting of the meter.
    He also knows exactly that the changes in amperes are due to the reactive power / energy for which individual recipients do not pay - so it has no effect on the settlement with the supplier, so there are also no savings - but there is profit from selling a worthless box ... ;)
    And that is the essence of the deception you fall for.

    on aliexpress, this pseudo saver costs $ 3.44 + $ 0.39 shipping, which is in line with the value of this device. (it is about the components -1 capacitor, 2 LEDs and two resistors and 1 fuse + nice housing.but unfortunately it saves energy, or will also reduce the bill, it is not worth counting

    In the April issue Understanding Electronics was discussed in depth (six pages) about this kind of pseudo electricity savers.

    But simple discussions for simple (specifically unfamiliar with the subject) people should also be promoted, on channels through which scammers reach, and not only in industry literature.

    There will always be thieves based on... whatever. If there is an opportunity to push someone a whajster from a bulbulator, there will be those who will produce it, advertise it and praise what it is not. And so in every industry and there are no people who would know everything. Although non-technical people are actually more at risk here.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers around the Tesla Saver ECO device, with users questioning its effectiveness in reducing electricity consumption. Many participants express skepticism, labeling it as a scam or a "deer magnet" designed to exploit consumers. They suggest that the device, which primarily consists of a capacitor and basic components, does not provide significant energy savings and may even increase overall power consumption. Users recommend investing in more energy-efficient appliances instead. Concerns are raised about the misleading marketing tactics used by sellers, particularly the use of the Tesla name to attract buyers. The consensus is that such devices are not worth the investment and that consumers should be cautious of similar products marketed online.

FAQ

TL;DR: Tesla Saver ECO doesn’t reduce bills; it can draw 5–6 W itself—“the device itself can consume 5–6 W of active energy.” In homes it can worsen power factor and even risk penalties for overcompensation. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #20519170]

Why it matters: This FAQ helps homeowners and renters evaluate “power saver” boxes and avoid wasting money on ineffective devices.

Quick Facts

Does Tesla Saver ECO really save up to 50% electricity?

No. Household billing uses active energy. These boxes shift reactive power, which doesn’t reduce what your meter bills. Sellers show ammeter drops that don’t translate to kWh savings. As one expert put it, “there are also no savings.” Use a wattmeter if you test. [Elektroda, zbich70, post #17482750]

Why do YouTube tests with fluorescent lamps show lower current?

Because they measure current, not power. A capacitor can lower current by adjusting power factor with inductive loads, yet active power stays the same. That’s why scammers use ammeters, not wattmeters. “No smart guy dares use a wattmeter,” because readings won’t change. [Elektroda, zbich70, post #17482750]

What’s actually inside these “power saver” boxes?

A very simple circuit: one capacitor, two LEDs, two resistors, and a fuse in a nice case. That matches the very low street price seen on marketplaces, reflecting component value rather than real savings or control electronics. [Elektroda, tomcio23, post #17678719]

Do these devices consume power themselves?

Yes. Expect about 5–6 W of active power even when they do nothing useful. That parasitic draw adds straight to your bill, like leaving a charger plugged in permanently, but without any benefit. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #20519170]

Will installing several units amplify the effect?

No. Adding more units can overcompensate into capacitive reactive power. That can increase active consumption and make your overall power factor worse in a home. Skip stacking; it does more harm than good. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #20519170]

Can using one cause problems with my utility?

Yes, in edge cases. Overcompensation toward capacitive reactive power is not tolerated by operators. Extreme cases can be penalized. A misapplied capacitor bank in a home brings only risk and no savings. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #20519170]

How can I test at home if a saver works?

Use a plug-in wattmeter, not an ammeter. 1. Measure a device’s baseline active power and energy. 2. Plug in the saver and repeat under the same conditions. 3. Compare wattmeter readings and your meter’s kWh. You should see no real improvement. [Elektroda, zbich70, post #17482750]

Where’s the cheapest place to buy one (if I still want to)?

Marketplace listings show units around $3.44 plus $0.39 shipping. That aligns with the minimal parts inside. Price aside, it won’t reduce your bill, so buying remains poor value. [Elektroda, tomcio23, post #17678719]

Do I need the “original” brand, or are clones the same?

Don’t chase an “original.” Listings with the same simple parts exist very cheaply. Labels change, internals stay basic. Paying more mostly buys a different enclosure, not a different function or savings. [Elektroda, tomcio23, post #17678719]

What should I do instead to lower my electricity bill?

Invest in efficient appliances and lighting, and optimize how you heat water. Replacing old energy hogs yields real savings. Look for available co-financing or incentives for upgrades in your area. [Elektroda, E8600, post #17481784]

Is there an in-depth explainer I can read or share?

Yes. An April issue of “Understanding Electronics” covered pseudo electricity savers in detail over six pages. It’s a good resource to educate non-technical readers. [Elektroda, Citizen75, post #20518969]

Why do these devices use “Tesla” in the name?

It’s branding theater. Scammers cycle through trendy names to boost credibility. As one member noted, they now “brazenly use the name Tesla” to sell the same box. [Elektroda, zbich70, post #17482750]

Are these products resurfacing under new names?

Yes. The topic keeps returning online with fresh marketing and rebrands. Expect new labels, familiar claims, and the same ineffective circuitry. [Elektroda, tipo906969, post #20464725]

I already bought one—what should I do now?

Unplug it to stop the 5–6 W parasitic draw. Return it if possible. Avoid using multiples, which risks overcompensation and potential operator penalties without any billing benefit. [Elektroda, Anonymous, post #20519170]
