I tried mining Their faq to find out how the device works. I could not.
It is true, we get charged for actual energy consumed on our side of the
meter. That includes extra heating of the conductors outside the appliance.
It is not clear to me how this device knows how much correction is required
for the various devices under various loads. I also agree, that if there is
extra current flow in the appliance, it is difficult to understand how that
waste energy can be reduced by this device.
I also have to include that this is a scam.
