Motex SD008 Plug-In Energy Saving Device is one of those plug-in boxes that claims to trim electricity use from the socket, and by our assessment, that already puts it in a dubious corner of the market. It is aimed at people hoping for an easy fix rather than a real change in habits, which is exactly why it should be treated with caution. The appeal is obvious: no install, just plug it in and hope it changes the bill. The problem is just as obvious, because the name promises savings that such devices usually cannot honestly guarantee in a household setting. It sits far behind simple things like switching off loads properly or using efficient appliances, and it is not in the same league as a real meter or controller. The number 8 in the name is part of the model label, not a promise of anything, and the whole thing reads more like a sales pitch than a tool.
