In the off position does this save on electricity?

yes there is no lights that come on when its off no indicators that light up

If there is no device connected to the switch then no, it would not make any difference. If the device draws some current even while off (for example a timer would still draw a small amount of current for the clock portion of the timer) then turning the switch off would stop that current draw and therefore save a small amount of electricity. The amount of electricity saved would depend on the non running current draw of the device attached to the switch.

When the switch is turned off, lamps will shut off and the computer shuts off. I assume no electricity is drawn when the switch is off.

There is no place on the box that says "Energy Star". It does have a lighted on/off switch and if used properly can be considered an energy saver. I turn mine off when not in use. According to the box, this "Provides power control over connected equipment".

I'm pretty sure you get the benefits, just as long as it's plugged in to the outlet. It doesn't have to be turned on:)

It will not work when the power goes out. But the on/off is a switch and it remains in the in position, so u won't have to go back in the room

No. And for safety reasons, I wouldn't recommend doing either leaving it on constantly, or running it when not at home.

I'm not positive, but I believe when it's knob is in the off position there is no power flowing.

No. After use I unplug from electricity. I use this only once a moth to backup my computers.

As far as electricity goes I am unsure. I did not see a change in my monthly utility bill. The unit does give off alot of heat so you have to store in a large treatment area. But the outside is very hot to the touch as well so watch the youngsters

I have noticed no difference in electricity cost when using. It has been a satisfying investment for me.

When I went through the various colors for backlighting, it started at the off position. I would imagine that if you set it at the off position, it will save battery power. I hope this helps.

Not necessary. It has an "Auto-off" feature, so you can leave it plugged in.

If this is like the six outlet fixture - yes. The "protected" indicator is always on. Not only a nuisance in a bedroom but small but continuous power drain.

I know it holds a charge if turned off for awhile, but not sure it charges in the off position..It's winter so I haven't had it on for awhile...I think the system is great except for refilling the compartment all the time...They can't make the storage any greater due to weight, but still a pain....The system itself seems to work great and worth the money....

Yes you are correct in your assumption that it always consumes some power unless the switch is turned off.

Yes it is ON-OFF-ON, No matter what the description says, but it works fine for my application.

The standby current draw is slight, so leaving the inverter on when it is not supplying power won't significantly drain the source battery over a period of a few minutes.

I cannot say it is energy efficient ??? but keeps the den habitable to enjoy and can lower the main furnace (electric heat) so not entire heater has to run as often.
