Energy Smart Products [RE-wrenches]

[Allan Sindelar, Positive Energy, Inc.]

Travis,
This is a very unscientific response...I bought one of this type of unit
(brand forgotten) at Home Depot (liberal return policy) to try with a Brand
meter on our Maytag fridge, running on an old Heart mod-square inverter. No
measured difference. Waveform may be culprit. Allan
