Recently, social media has been abuzz with advertisements for a device called the Electricity Saving Box, touted as a miracle solution for reducing electricity consumption. With claims of being able to effortlessly decrease electricity usage by up to 40%, it’s no wonder that many people are tempted to give it a try, especially during the hot summer months when electricity bills can soar.

But is it too good to be true? One user shared their experience of purchasing the device after reading rave reviews online. However, after using it for several months, they saw no significant decrease in their electricity bills. Feeling duped, they bought another one, thinking the first one might have been a cheap knock-off. Unfortunately, the results were the same, and they realized they had fallen victim to false advertising.

Summer is typically a season of high electricity usage and costs, and many families worry about their electricity consumption. Taking advantage of this concern, unscrupulous individuals have been aggressively advertising devices that purportedly reduce electricity costs by half or a third.

According to the advertisements, the Electricity Saving Box is the optimal choice for effective electricity savings. The posts are often accompanied by clever “seeding” comments and fake evidence of drastically reduced electricity bills to make the product seem more credible.

The Truth Behind the Electricity Saving Devices

The Central Power Corporation’s Center for Electronic Metering Device Manufacturing, in collaboration with the Monitoring and Supervision of Buying and Selling Electricity of the Central Power Corporation, conducted an analysis to uncover the real effects of the Electricity Saving Box. Unsurprisingly, the results revealed that the device is nothing more than a scam intended to deceive unsuspecting consumers.

The product is housed in a plastic box and contains only a fuse, a few resistors, and two LED lights. Testing revealed that while the device can reduce the magnitude of the current flowing through the load, it does not decrease the amount of electricity consumed by the load, meaning it has no impact on the measured electricity consumption on the meter.

EVN Issues a Warning

After uncovering this deception, the Vietnam Electricity Group (EVN) published a warning on their website, advising consumers to steer clear of such low-quality devices.

EVN’s warning extends beyond just the Electricity Saving Box, as there are numerous other similar devices on the market that make exaggerated claims about their electricity-saving capabilities. Consumers are advised to be cautious and do their research before purchasing any such products to avoid being scammed.
