That very much depends on what you have attached it to and how you use that device. In field trials of ten appliances we found that a single Green Plug will save you over 40% of the energy used by that appliance. By way of an example for a game console the trials showed an average saving of £114.16 over the life of the Green Plug (calculated at 15.9p per kWh of electricity).
The Green Plug is currently available in white with a limited number of black units now hitting the market. Later on during the year this will expand or if a large enough order is placed then we will make whatever colour the customer wishes.

Green Plugs have a fixed time delay and cannot be programmed by the user. It's set at the factory so you simply choose the time setting to fit your needs.
You have two choices: The first is to purchase a new Green Plug with a more appropriate time delay. Your existing Green Plug can then be removed and fitted to another appliance that better suites the time delay you have selected. The second option is to continue to use your Green Plug on the existing appliance but push the Green Plug in at the end of its timer duration to restart the timer action again. It is so easy to use that most people take the second option.
You can push the Green Plug in with almost anything and these two are certainly on the list of things that people have used in the past.

Your Green Plug timer will continue to retract until the 15 minutes are reached without using any electricity because it is air-driven. You still have the added safety benefit that if you forget to turn off the iron yourself, then Green Plug will automatically switch it off completely after 15 minutes.
