Some say it's a scam, as this site does

Yes, but probably not enough to ever pay for it in a typical household.

It works for me and I've saved thousands of dollars in just three years. Yep...I'm not going to type this over and over so here is a recent post copy and paste.

here are my KWH results since installation. My savings are at the high end (close to 40% last month).

As expected, savings are greater during the summer with AC running.
House is 2375sf with poor insulation/old appliances (windows, doors, freezer, frig, central A/C, wall/attic insulation, etc.).
It would easily cost around $20,000 to upgrade so $300 (plus $60 installation) for the PowerSave1200 was a no brainer (with money back guarantee). The higher the cost per KwH, the bigger the savings.
A few points…KwH $ varies so I speak in Kwh terms vs. dollars when comparing previous year. Looks like approx. 7500 KwH will be
saved the first year. Electrical bill is now similar to friends’ energy efficient homes in neighborhood.
If you have great insulation/energy star appliances/triple pane windows, etc. don’t expect to see such savings.
Someone posted that they saved KwH (but not money) over same month last year so they didn’t think PS1200 worked.
I would guess the price per KwH changed over previous billing.
Others have mentioned that the PS1200 “stores” energy to be used later. Don’t confuse this with batteries.
“Capacitor is a device that STORES energy in the electric field established between a pair of
conductors on which equal but opposite electric charges have been induced.”

It is absolutely useless to try and time a few cycles with a stopwatch and extrapolate it over a month (yes, I tried too!).
You can check it at the same time daily but even then there can be a huge difference (electric water heater, running dishwasher, etc.)
Other benefits…
With a 40″ HDTV, 2 computers, 3 monitors running at the same time my small office would get very hot.
Now, no noticable difference between office and other rooms.
The central A/C use to sound like a shotgun going off when starting and ran very loud. Since PS1200 I can barely hear it, starts with a purr.
Built in home surge protection.
I noticed that those that don't believe in this technology say that PF and amps do not matter because the home bill is measured in watts or kilowatts. Here is a video showing the watts savings using a similar device.

Comments on this question:
Maroongirl, that forum is saying things that are just plain wrong. This device has nothing whatsoever to do with saving "resistance losses", but only corrects your power factor so you are not paying for watts that you are not really using; APPARENT power instead of REAL power.
The device is not a scam, not a con, but a legitimate device that CAN save money in some cases: If your electrical power usage is heavily inductive (motors, transformers, coils) that have NOT ALREADY been Power Factor Corrected as many old style (magnetic) fluorescent ballasts have been.
If you are in a normal household, and the majority of your heavy-use appliances are 'energy star' compliant, this thing will not save enough to pay for itself in it's useful lifetime.
