Check out the Specifications section, ... 8A continuous duty. What they mean by 20A short term i have no idea, It does say, this unit can only handle 4KW for a few minutes, probably cutting in and out of by-pass mode!! This model can only handle 2.5KW continuously which makes it next useless, you need to make savings on the high consumption appliances not on the low power ones. To be honest, you would be better off buying LED lamps for the whole house than buying one of these units, much cheaper and the pay-back will be quicker too... probably save you more money overall than the VPhase too ...lol!!!
 
I've just run some figures past the Vphase online calculator and with the cost of the unit and a modest install cost it would take 10+ years to break even!!!
 
Used on lighting it could make a saving, but not as much as high efficiency lamps. As for appliances what’s the point, to boil a pint of water requires XX watts. It will just take longer.
Waste of time and money!
