Author NEED YOUR ADVICE

I'm looking for the name of a device that you put between a outlet and
electric item and this device only allows the item to use the "juice"
needed. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

There is a device which you can install between a fridge and the power
socket, which is claimed to save electricity by avoiding running the
compressor at full power when it's really not necessary.

Google 'savaplug'. Don't know if there is a US version of this.
