Ah, I thought that was what you were talking about.  I've got three, with 
one each on my refridgerator and chest freezer.  We had the third one 
driving a Patton fan that we haven't used for quite a while.

They only work for AC motors, though, they'll likely fry any purely 
electronic device.  The theory is that they vary the current to the device 
such that it draws only as much current as needed to run.

Anecdotally, it made the fridge and chest freezer much quieter.  I can't 
even tell when the freezer is running anymore.
