Thanks Jun – I checked out the Savasocket website (www.savasocket.com) and it looks like it’s based on the same technology but has a more modern-looking design as you say. I still think I prefer the more compact Standby Saver but it’s good to have alternatives, although I noticed that the Savasocket isn’t available yet and there’s no pricing information currently available.

I’ve seen another product which does the same as this called a Savasocket. It looks a lot slicker too.

Thanks for your comment, Thugee – that’s interesting to know. I haven’t had any problems with my unit as yet, so fingers crossed!

My experience is that a high proportion of these units are supplied faulty. In addition the use of a rather small mechanical relay will result in a short life, particularly for heavy loads.
