This is extortion pure and simple! These people are deliberately taking lots of money from members of the public who can already barely afford their monthly living expenses! But they don't care. Pure greed! These electrical savings devices CANNOT work. The laws of physics forbid it. DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THEM AND THEIR LIES. Switch off lights, items on standby and only use washing machines and dishwashers that are filled, not half empty! Boil one mug of water for tea or coffee. And phone the Energy Saving Trust for free advice. They really can save you money... especially the elderly... with energy saving tips and government grant schemes such as free draft proofing. They got me a free boiler installed that cost £4500, on a grant, a few years ago and I continue to save on energy by using their tips and advice daily. If you think it might be "too good to be true" that's because it's all lies and avarice!!

Just a clever scam. remember...if its to good to be true it usually is! in this case it definatly is. had mine plugged in for 3 months...no difference at all. I was a fool to be taken in by the crap and its now unplugged so i don't waste even more money on lighting up a useless plug!

Scam!! £59 for a cheap white plug with a green LED on it?!?!?! Search engines should be ashamed that they let rubbish like this get promoted on their sites.

Not only is this device too good to be true, it defies the laws of physics. It claims to clean up the signal coming from your fuse box to save you up to 90% on your next bill, however, filtering the signal saves at most 5% of energy. Moreover, a device as small as this is not capable of providing the current shunting required for such a low-pass filter. The inductors and capacitors would need to be the size of a shoebox to accomplish this.
"Electricity providers hate this" - I am sure they love it, because it is causing people to spend more on electricity by plugging in a green light that does nothing.

I have not bought one as I don't think magic is real.
Businesses pay for the apparent power, households pay for active power. So businesses use inductors and capacitors to reduce the reactive power losses due to harmonics in the feed lines.
It appears that they are assuming this in their advertisments. The differences are in singular percentage values domestically, (say, 5-8% increase). Industry 20-30%
So this does not effect homes or small businesses. It is only larger businesses and this divice would do nothing anyway. The inductors and capacitors used for industries are bigger than a bath. Which would hardly fit into something the size of a single plug socket.
Since I wrote this a couple of weeks ago the 'technical department' for the Getvoltex responded saying it was a capacitor. I checked and a 400V, 1000uF capacitor cost around £0.72. The plug casing and LED is about £1 (including assembly). So should be available from Poundland or Dollarrstore.

Impossible claims about this scam device. It defies (impossibly) the laws of Physics and is a total scam. The promoters should be aware: Fraud, which is defined by the police-run service Action Fraud as using trickery to gain a dishonest advantage, often financial, over another person - can lead to up to 10 years in prison

The large internet search engines really ought to take a long hard look at this type of advertising. It creates an environment of total distrust of internet advertisements and all those advertising on it.

So appreciative to you all
I was sorely tempted to buy a couple but GLAD I
read all your reviews first
How can these people at Voltex get away with all these false claims - they ought be ashamed ripping people off
who are struggling to make ends meet especially when things have been so difficult for so many due to the pandemic

To ALL gullible/ignorant people::
When you look at your WALL-PLUG, please be aware of the fact that power through your meter is already THERE, waiting to be used. Power CANNOT go back to your meter over the same power-lines which delivered this power to your wall-plug.
IT IS A ONE-WAY SYSTEM. THINK ABOUT THIS LOGICALLY.

I didn't get caught by this nonsense, but it reminded me of when I was a boy (60 yrs ago ! ) and a guy worked a scam at our market stalls, selling plantpots full of soil and claiming them to be "earths" for radio aeriels !!!!!!
I have laughed many times when relating this to my grandchildren

I had an pensioner friend of mine call me up about this new device that will save him electricity and claiming that the energy companies were ripping everyone off.

Glad I was able to research it before he got scammed by this obvious fraud preying on vulnerable people.
Making completely ludicrous claims about how electricity even works.

This is just a scam site selling 21st century snake oil. Ordinarily I'd ignore this as just junk but the fake reviews push this over the edge into false advertising and blatant scamming.

Bought the stupid and damm scam product. After a month of use, it went up by 200kW, and cost a big bomb in my electricity. Will definitely dispose of it. China sells for $2 plus. They sell for $150. Never buy so call advertisements saving electricity, even shares online. Covid-19 is the time to save money. BIG SCAM from these idots, KARMA overtime to those IDOTS

I haven’t, and won’t purchase a product so obviously intended to DEFRAUD people looking to save a buck.

Nothing scientific supports this product, so where is the governing body in cases like this to protect the consumer. This is an appalling case of fraud.

My friend told me that he ordered this device and he can't wait for it to be delivered so he doesn't have to worry about electricity anymore and he was telling me to order one too before they run out.......lol
I told him such a thing is impossible and will not work and he used it for 4month as they told him it needs to stabilize (joke) until he realized he was scammed and finally tossed the garbage as he couldn't return or get refunded obviously, I told him you're asking the thief to get a refund?
Now as I told him he google every weird claim first then he asks a few people first before pays 150$ to the thief

I chatted with Voltex online chat.
They state that the noise is up to 50% of the total power transmitted through the socket. This is extremely doubtful - just call your energy company to check that this is wrong.
They say that it takes 3-4 weeks to stabilize electricity in your house. Complete rubbish. Against laws of physics.
These guys trick the customers. Keep away and save your money.

These claims made by Voltex are frankly absolute nonsense.

Let me put this into Layman's terms.
1) You plug this thing into either a ring main socket (Imaging a circular circuit starting at your consumer unit and running in a circle back to the consumer unit with plug sockets on the circuit as it journeys through your property)

OR you plug this thing into a radial socket
(Image a straight piece of cable (a circuit) running from your consumer unit, call this point A, ending at point B with a number of sockets on the circuit as it journeys through your property)

Now answer this... How can a gadget plugged into a socket on either a ring main circuit or the radial circuit influence say, a shower circuit for example (Which is completely independant of a ring main and radial circuit)? Or a cooker circuit for example? Or your boiler circuit, or your lighting circuits? Or a Solar PV installation?

The simple answer is, that it cant.

All these circuits are independent of each other and one can not influence the other. That's why if one circuit overloads, say, your cooker for example, the circuit breaker FOR THAT circuit will 'trip' at the consumer unit and disconnect the supply to the cooker.

The point I'm making there is all the circuits are all independent of each other, like road networks - If one closes, another stays open, because one will not influence the other.

That is why this 'gadget' is an absolute nonsense. It’s impossible for something plugged into a radial or ring main socket to store energy for the benefit of any other circuit in your house or business.

We all want to save money on our utility bills, god knows I do as well – But this thing is just as effective at saving you money as banging your head off the wall to make it rain. Please do not waste your money on it, it’s a scam.

What I can’t understand is the fools on here who give this product more than the minimum 1*.

I am wondering and would appreciate comments on feasibility of this:
Power used is given by P=VI i.e. colomb/second or Watts.
Now with AC voltage the voltage is a sin wave. True voltage for power is the root mean square of peak voltage and I presume this is what the meter measures?? If a high value capacitor is in parallel with the AC circuit, it will store peak voltage to feed back when voltage drops thus smoothing the sin wave and reducing the peak Voltage, hence RMS voltage so possibly the meter will give a lower reading??
I know this works on a small scale 12V ac circuit so may be possible on 230/240 V ac. but would not expect a significant saving. Comments from electrical engineers welcome.

I would love to open one to inspect but not willing to fork out $$'s requested. It would need to be a large very high value capacitor. Possibly a mini ev battery?

Someone just gave me a print out of this device he had taken off his computer. Very obvious a scam. It said it will reduce your electric bill from£251 to £15, if they said it reduces it to £205 more people would try it. And what about the inventor did he do this before the car or after?
