PowerVolt Reviews [2021] Is Power Volt a Scam?
Does the PowerVolt really reduce electricity bill? Should you get this energy saver or is it another ripoff scam? Find out here!
In case you’re thinking of ordering the energy saving device called Power Volt, we advise you not to do so yet. A lot of things don’t add up about the product and the reviews online.
With online scams springing up every day, we have taken the responsibility of reviewing products, stores, websites e.t.c in order to save you from making wrong decisions.
Power Volt Energy- Is It Worth It?
One of the reasons why this AC is the rave of the internet is because it allegedly reduces 90% of your electricity bill. Furthermore, the PowerVolt Energy saver is been sold for 50% discount. You also get to pay lower when you buy more.
However, when you dig beneath all the so called positive reviews online, you’d see that there are no genuine customer reviews of this product. The seemingly positive reviews were written by affiliate marketers who don’t care if the product actually works or not. What they are after, is their commission at the end of the day.
Searching For these Items? See Legit Sellers
This was what led us to review this product. The online store offering this cheap energy saver is orderpowervolt.com . They provide the following contact details-
- Phone Number : 8552270908

It is true that this website seems legit, however what you should be worried about is if this device will actually save you energy, indeed?
Should You Be Concerned About Orderpowervolt.com?
The answer to that question is Yes. Though there are lots of positive reviews about this power saving device, they are not telling you the exact truth about the product. Below are reasons why you shouldn’t think of buying any power saving device-
Saves Little or No Energy
When you unbox the powervolt device, you would see it is a capacitor placed across the power line. This actually might do a little bit of power factor correction, but you are not billed for reactive power at home. So it saves you nothing in money.
Furthermore, the gadget capacitor draws about 100 mA of capacitive (leading) current from the line. If you happen to have a device which draws about 100 mA of inductive (lagging) current component, this capacitor will cancel that. It won’t draw more when you need more; it won’t stop drawing current when you don’t need any correction. It probably has *just enough* effect that the statements in the ads are not complete lies, but the device is still completely useless in general.
Might Cause Fire Hazard
When I went through the video on orderpowervolt.com, the one thing I couldn’t tell from the video, and the narrator didn’t mention: Is the capacitor inside the PowerVolt actually rated for connection across the AC line? Is it a fire hazard if there is a lightning strike nearby? Capacitors connected directly to the AC line are supposed to have an “X” rating for safety, and because this capacitor is potted in epoxy, I can’t tell if it if actually safe or not.
Fake Customer Reviews
During our investigation, we realized the positive reviews online, both that of Youtube and Blogs, are all fake. This is because they were almost the same contents, copy and pasted with slight difference.
Also, the reviews on orderpowervolt.com are unverifiable. They shouldn’t prompt you to make an order.
Does PowerVolt Energy Saver Really Work?
The answer to the question is No. In fact, BBC has also addressed the issue on this article here. The truth is that energy saving devices like PowerVolt are unsafe and could cause a fire or electrocution. So what are the better ways to save energy and reduce electricity bills? check this review here to find out efficient ways to save energy in 2021.
UPDATE- In the one year this review was published, there have been opposing views on if this energy saver really works. We ask that you do due diligence when buying this product.
Thank you for the review. Most of the review sites I went to were obviously not reviews but a sales pitch. Your review site was the first one that actually was a review, and with a post to visit the BBC review.. If it looks to good to be true it generally is.
I agree with your findings and as a retired EE, how can a device that is ONLY across 1/2 of your line adjust the other half? MAGIC!
Exactly, Although it seems that some people have said that it’s across both lines… Has anyone taken this beast apart and actually tested it? My dad who was an EE always said make sure to test things…
I think You’re right, Just sounds like… MAGIC!
LOLOL
Better to raise the temperature of the house 1° or 2° in the summer in the same in the winter…
thank you for the honest truth. you just saved me 40 bucks, If it looks to good to be true,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
Here’s something interesting…back in roughly 1991 I purchased a unit similar at Home Depot…it promised the same thing and it in fact cut my bill tremendously…like more than half…I plugged it in behind my side by side frig and I was amazed. I left it when I sold that house and have not been able to find another one since. I think my frig plugged into it. I would like to know if anyone else ever had one…Contact me if so.
Perhaps you might try contacting Home Depot.
Someone there might look up a product they used to sell.
Good luck
Why have not you contacted your Home Depot to get details about the fabulous electric saving device that you proved had worked ? !
I purchased two directly from the company and our son purchased his from Amazon.
Bull…
I purchased this unit on July 13, on July 14th my CCR was charged..for one at $44.90
Now it is August 25th and still have not received the item. Called twice go some
sweet talking oriental saying that it was shipped but will send another…and today
25 Aug. was to receive an e-mail from the firm in Ohio, with UPS tracking number
never received the e-mail…now I believe after reading this article it is a Scam operation by two guys…I’m going to challenge the order, and alert my bank to
dishonor the debit on my account…glad I read this article…
Thanks much. I suspected as much!
I purchased two of these units in June of 2020 from a company called Umbra which now seems to be out of service. To date (Oct 2020) my electric bill has remained the same with NO decrease or saving. Besides this “Power Volt” company there is one called “Instant Finest Deals” and they all offer the exact same promises. My opinion is that it is a scam. They sell their products, change company name and move on to scam some one else.
i have two i bought them over a year ago
my electric bill has not changed one bit
definitely a scam
I bought three of these. Used it for all of October. We DID NOT see any saving and my wife thinks our bill was higher than usual. THESE are JUNK! One LED that’s all it is.
and our law makers just let things like this go on and on. So just keep voting for the scam supporters that are in office now and things won’t get any better. Forget about Consumer protection, FTC(federal Trade Commission. They are on the take as well.
We bought the “power volt”, it didn’t even last ONE FRIGGIN DAY! First the light burned out, and the rest WELL is broken garbage. My husband called for a refund and they wanted us to pay for return postage on the junk, then pay for another device. W T F ???
We just want our money returned in good faith, don’t think it will happen ever. So any people reading this, Don’t buy this product (lack of a better word), keep your money for something MADE IN AMERICA!! This is a full blown scam , and the three “goof- ball” guys on line should be sued by all that spent money on this junk!!!!
The SCAM starts when you order this thing! You pay for it but it never arrives!
Happened to me too.
This is a scam they do not work my bill
has never changed at all.I bought them over a year ago
I have only had my power volts on for 40 days- the first bill (which included 22 days after plugging them in) it saved 19% over last year’s bill on usage. I put one out by pool pump, one nearest to the breaker box-one in the laundry room-one in the kitchen and one in the master bedroom. I will post again after the next full bill comes in. Very happy so far!
Please tell us what you plugged the device into… Or did you just plug it into a electrical plug/outlet?
What is it that convinces you you saved “19%”? Did you look at your bill and compare identical months head to head? Has anyone moved in or moved out of your house that might impact your bills 19%? What’s the temperature this month identical to the temperature last year for the same time.? There are a huge number of variables and I’m only beginning to scratch the surface.

Had a device that was essentially a stored capacitor potted in epoxy. Well it happened my wife heard a bang and I went into the utility room and found it smoking. I quickly shut off the electricity going to it and it did nothing to stop the flames and smoking. Realized after that it had capacitor which basically stores and retains high voltage electricity for periods of time without being connected to electrical circuit. At risk to myself breathing the poisonous fumes I blasted it with a fire extinguisher to little avail. I knocked the flames down but the smoking and gooey melting polymer was going all over. Finally got the device cut and forcibly removed from the wall… placed it in a bucket took it outside. Wife had already evacuated with the 2 dogs and called 911 while I was inside breathing large amounts of crap. Firemen got here and quickly setup large exhaust fans while taking toxic air readings. They said that the smoke was very toxic and I was extremely lucky that I hadn’t succumbed to the fumes. They treated me and left me with a room of toxic residue to cleanup. It took me days with a respirator, gloves, Cleanup suit to scrub down everything in that room including the walls and ceiling.
I’m very cautious of buying and installing any device that has capacitors.
I HAD LOOKED AT AN ADVERISEMENT FOR THIS AND STARTED TO ORDER TWO. BEFORE I COULD CONTINUE READING REVIEWS, GOT A PHONE CALL FROM THE COMPANY, SAYING THEY WERE READY TO HELP ME EXPEDITE MY ORDER AND ENSURE THQT I WOULD GET IT IN 2 TO 3 DAYS, FREE SHIPPING. THING IS…I HAD NOT SUBMITTED AN ORDER. I TOLD THE LADY THAT I WAS IN THE PROCESS REQDING REVIEWS OF THEIR PRODUCT ONLINE. SHE WAS TRYING TO BE PERSISTENT BUT I BEAT HER ON THAT ONE AND SAID GOODBYE. TWO MINUTES LATER, I GET TWO PHONE CALL WHICH I IGNORED.
Your TV, computer, cellphone, etc. all have capacitors. THIS thing is a capacitor directly across both sides of your power circuit! That’s a very different thing.

Omg!! So sorry to hear this!! This is a case for a lawyer… They might take it up for free to get 30% of the million dollars you could sue the company for!!
Wow I was just about to order this I just kept seeing good reviews good reviews and usually you find one bad review but there were so many good reviews I was like wow everywhere I googled is it a scam and they all kept saying it’s not a scam. Usually the first one or the first link that you find will be a legit link and tell you if it’s a scam or not and if it’s a real scam normally the first link will say it’s a scam but I had to dig deep to find this article to say that it’s a scam and I called a Powerball thought it was the right company it was a different company and they even told me it was a scam. The people I called make transformers for appliances and they been getting cold all the time for the machine The thing that saves money for electric bill. He said people send them on accident because they use their name. And he has a bunch of them on his desk in his office he said do not buy it it’s a scam. Definitely save me 40 bucks of someone’s rich right now making millions for scamming people that is so messed up they should be put in jail for this. Like that just pisses me off there’s a millionaire out there that is selling products to over 2 million people buy this thing and he’s a millionaire and he makes a product it doesn’t work it’s so messed up. It’s like pisses me off like it’s ridiculous how about a scamThat a person is making money off a scam. He’s chilling back right now probably in some Caribbean island with money all up his butt up his ass. Laughing all these people buying my product I’m making all this money. Oh just pisses me off. Thank you so much for this article.
I have used thus product for several months now and have found that it HAS REDUCED my electricity bill considerably. I particularly noticed it during the summer months. We keep our temp on a 65 degree temp most of the time. Our electric bill has consistently been lower than bills prior to the PowerVolt. Our son ordered one and has experienced the same. I would recommend this product to anyone wanting to lower their electric bill. I am not affiliated with this company at all. We are both retired and living on a fixed income.
So you want us to believe that you plug one, or more of these randomly into your circuits and it impacted your air conditioning which you set at 65°? First of all who in the heck has their air conditioner set at 65°? No one!… Except my husky… So you’re a husky and even can write in English,
No one keeps their AC on 65 especially not retirement age folks as they are always cold even in summer! So, YOUR review is a SCAM.
Liar! Show us you actual monthly bills.
As the old adage goes – if it is to good to be true —-
I bought two of these devices a year ago. Twice nothing is still nothing. That’s what these things saved me. The only benefit, IMO, is to the marketers of this product. I haven’t opened the plastic body to see what’s inside. I’d like an electrical engineer’s examination of the device to confirm my opinion. Measure power consumption of known devices before & after plugging in the devices. I don’t believe I would save the power it takes to illuminate the LED’s.
I purchased two of the units from the company back in June 2020. I installed as suggested and so far have seen no savings what so ever. Two green L.E.D. lamps show power is on that’s about it and a cheap plastic box that i plan to open. SAVE your money on this scam.
It doesn’t work,at least mine doesn’t work.I bought one and didn’t see any reduction in my power bill at all,nothing. It now just sits on my shelf as a reminder,don’t believe everything rou read on the internet.
I have a good idea,let’s sue them as a group.I’m sure their is an attorney that needs the practice doing class action suites. It doesn’t work and they are just making money on a scam,and they know it.
I just read an ad for something called a Voltbox, which is selling online here in Australia. (I should know by now not to click on these sorts of ads but saving money is always a pull isn’t it?!) However, I was pretty skeptical and entered “is Voltbox a scam” into google. Now I find myself here and found that I was on the right track. It’s a pity I won’t be saving 50-90% on my electricity bill, but I won’t be wasting $74 either!
Thanks, Sabireeviews and other posters.
lol
Thanks for sharing such beneficial information with us. Your article is really very enjoyable while reading and please keep sharing more.
Thanks for your article / review. I keep seeing the ads and thought I would check out the reviews, ‘cos you know, it sounded pretty good! Glad you’re out there reviewing these scam products. Always do your homework folks, I will always wait until I find a review on what I want to buy off the internet, at least if you wait you’ve only lost time. Thanks again for your review, it is very much appreciated!
Was going to buy 10 and give out for Christmas Presents. My daughter told me to always google the reviews before purchasing. Thank God I did. Thank you all for your review. It saved me a lot of money.
