AC current is neat, you can trade voltage for current and vice versa, using simple magnetic coils.
Boosting 100 volts to 120 volts, with wattage remaining fixed (same load), means your transformer will drawing more amps over an already overloaded distribution system to make up the volts.

Right on the mark.
An autoformer is not ever going to cause problems for the USER. It only creates more of a low voltage issue for others.

Yeah, it's incorrect but you're right - this misconception will continue to be propagated ad nauseam. :R
From the Hughes Website - How Does It Work? ... of course one can discount all this, claiming the manufacturer is simply making it all up. :S
