So does this live up to all the hype? Can I actually save money on my electric bill AND disco at the same time?

No, not really... I now bought a Laser Light show that Blows Away anything else... Dont waist your money, get a Laser Light Show piece instead...

I am not familiar with the hype; but it is cute and does work pretty well for what it is. Just make sure you look at the dimensions. The disco ball is about the size of a girl's softball and the whole thing sits on a table rather than being hung from the ceiling. We used it for my daughter's 6 year old birthday party and it was perfect for us.

Our electric bill almost tripled while using it during the coldest part of this last winter. If somehow this is supposed to be good for the environment "Green" would not then be accurate. It is fine for smaller usage times, but would recommend other alternatives depending on your personal situation. Good luck.

So far I use it for my bass heads, laptop, I phone, cd and MP3 player, small 4 watt light. Don't see way you can't use it of any thing else you can plug into it. There are better and way more $$$ to pick from. But if your on a budget and need volt drop and spike protection. This while not kill feed back. Just line noise (bass amp are the best to pick up this wave form or per 80's amps of all kinds, any kind of tube amp) so this dos not answer your question but you see it's also a matter of cost. How much will it cost to replace all your electronics that could get fried if you get a power surge or a brown out and all your stuff is ON! It cost me over $3000.00 so I now protect think of it as a comdom, you just don't won't any problems. Keep Rocking ;&gt;)

I haven`t used it that often but its doing a wonderful job. I`ll let you know how the electric bill works out. I`m not really sure if its the same as the one at Meijers, make sure you check out its credentials first.

I haven't noticed a change in electric consumption on my electric bill, of that helps. I have no idea if my neighbors ate using this product but because everything needs to be synced, I assume that it wouldn't be much of a problem.

We live in Florida so it's perfect to heat up a room your in. Way cheaper than my electric bill if I ran the heat. P.S. it does get cold here...

I've only had it 2 weeks. It does s fantastic job heating the area evenly though. I'm very happy with it so far. My first electric bill will be in 2 weeks.

I can honestly say no. Although I can't put a dollar figure on it, I noticed only a slight increase of my electric bill. It far outweighed turning the heat on, creating another bill. Hope this is helpful.

I agree with most of the comments before. In my case because of the long run it is worth the minute of amount of electricity that is use and I do program the timer which makes my system work well. Karl

In 6 Months and 6500 miles on my Nissan LEAF my electric bill has gone up $25 a month. So 2.3 cents per mile including the Leviton being on all the time for 6 months. There are people who have installed a disconnect switch with a sub-panel next to the EVSE. But I figure that with the EVB40 being on that it will cost me an extra $10.00 per year at 15 watts. Not really sure if it's worth the extra electrical equipment and your time to turn it off every single day for $10 savings per year.

My electric bill was not increased by more than $20/month, but, I live in Colorado so I typically needed to use it only to cool the room off and then could turn it off at night. We were probably losing more energy from not having adequate insulation in our attic! We've moved since we last had to use the AC, but I was sure thankful to have it when needed. I think one thing I would change if I had to go back and buy it again would be to choose a unit with an auto on/off feature. The user must turn this one off or on.

We also had a single speed Pentair that was nine years old. The energy saving is immediate. My electric bill has been lowered by $100 a month since we installed the Hayward Max-Flo VS.

It only added about $10/month to my electric bill. I don't know what that other person is talking about....mine is plugged in 24/7

Not really sure about the savings on the electric but it sure does work good so far.

I haven't noticed a spike in my bill and I've been using it for almost a year. I really like it and have gotten a lot of compliments. It looks nice and heats really well. I think that saves on energy b/c you can just heat one room if you want to.

I've done my own research on LED lighting and just with the benefit of lower electric bill, you will enjoy instant light at the flick of the switch. In stead of the normal heat up from the florecent. Also since we switch to florecent it saves on electricity but when they go out you have to find the right place to throw them away. (Suppose to better huh?) Gimmick! Anyhow the life spand of LEDs makes it a god send not to replace them for quite a while. Hope this help. Just a Handyman. Brian

Sorry, can't answer that question. I live in Texas, in an apt complex that is "total electric". I negotiate a "fixed budget" rate per month, that renews every year, up or down, depending on usage over the past year. My apt has two floors of living space (1350 sq ft.) and this past year, I paid $174/mo., but I live alone. For me, the trade off of higher electric bills, w one of these plugged in the wall of each room (6 total wall plugs plus a tabletop unit) for cleaner ambient air, is a no-brainer.
