If I recall and I could be wrong, I think they did a review on the Beyonwiz T series, possibly a T3 and were pretty critical of that units standby consumption, but that's because it has 3 levels of operation, unlike the Skippa and I don't think they quite worked that out when they reviewed it.
It can run "on", standby or deep standby. The standby mode is similar to the Skippa where it mostly stays on and running, but the deep standby is where it pretty much shuts down and conserves power and they may not have realised it could do that in their tests.
The Skippa on the other hand has no deep standby mode so it could be an interesting review that's for sure.
Personally, I love the instant on I have to admit , i think that's worth 18w of power, lol...
