There is a way to genuinely save up to 40% of power bills by utilisation of tariff 33 in QLD. It requires a slight rule change to be fully legal but levels out demand.

Having my microwave, my stereo, and my harddrive recorder on standby is the only way to preserve the time and date settings in the appliances – correct????

Probably won’t save power. However on mine sites they are more correctly known as “power conditioners. They will correct power factor and therefore protect electronics.
regardless of the arguments about true power and apparent power. The current in an inductive load – anything with a motor transformer or ballast – will run cooler ansd therefore last longer.
