Do not be taken in by these outlandish claims any electrical item you plug in will use energy so these devices will actually increase your usage.
Speak with your supply provider to see it they have a better tariff to suit your needs for instance utilising off peak energy.

Anyone with an ounce of knowledge of schoolboy physics, or electrical training, will know that this is a scam. They are selling to the gullible (and not doing too well at it apparently), marketing magic unicorn fairy dust for hundreds of pounds. The problem is, when your electricity bill stays exactly the same and you've wasted lots of money, you can't easily sue them - they don't aim at their home (US) market - note the phone number for U.S. is actually a U.K number. And that photo of the 3 gimps labelled "founders at a tech expo" is hilarious.

So glad I check the trust pilot before I placed my order. Looks like it is a scam!
As the saying goes if it looks too good to be true it usually is like this Vortex. Read all the great reviews on their page. Got me nearly convinced to order two at a great price of £99 saving over £100 on two devices.
Trustpilot has saved me another £99 as my money is staying in my account.

Ads like these are designed to be aimed at the old and vulnerable and should be removed immediately, another scam that doesn't work ( it's impossible for it too) - people will get suckered in with the total BS though .
Shame way to be making a living!

So glad I referred to the reviews first. If it were true about its capabilities it would have been made illegal for sure. Don't buy it.

Wow what a relief. I was seconds away from clicking the green button to purchase this so called wonder device. The thing is my mum always said if it sounds too good to be true then it is! I should have known better, as an engineer myself the graphs looked a bit dodgy and really would have been more credible if they were accompanied with electrical calculations supporting the evidence. A second class confidence trick please don't be fooled!

i neestop my order nowd to stop my order now

Don’t get scammed any devise. after the meter will NOT lower your power bills it can’t be done

Totally a scam product marketed by ads with false information and fake reviews.

I'm an Electronics Engineer with 45 years experience of all sorts of electrical systems, this 'device' SCAM is total BS. Unless this device has some sort of Star Trek teleportation gizmo in it (and even then...), NOTHING will affect the power flowing through your electricity meter and ANYTHING plugged in after the meter will only ADD to your power consumption, even if it is one LED. More bogus than Donald Trump!!!

This is buy far the biggest scam you could ever buy i did (dum ass) they didnt even light up and they said they would send me new ones what for these people should be charge and the internet shoulded let people like this on there sights the internet would is screwed

I purchased the getvoltex which purpots to save 90% of the electricity bill. which is very doubtful.More importantly the price charged for my apartment was
€59 but when I checked my credit card I saw that I as charged an additional €39 by getvoltex. Why?
I have seen a lot of reports talking of a scam in regards to getvoltex?? what do you have to say.
I would appreciate if you could reimburse me the extra €39 you charged to my credit card.

Read the advertorial on (of all places so shame on them) the Times Educational Supplement website.

Frankly it's a scam, and not a very good scam at that. I've heard some grade 'A' bull over the years but this is simply laughable...

However, I do have some industrial quality snake-oil that I managed to smuggle out of Brigadoon - regrettably I'm sworn to secrecy concerning the matter of the refining process but I can assure you a few drops will power a small village for several decades... please send a huge wad of used currency (GBP, EUR or USD) for more 100% implausible details.

Why are they allowed to advertise these lies?

At the very best it is just a Power Factor Correction (PFC) Capacitor, with an LED Light. Which you may find in Fluorescent, and HID Lamps. Even if that did work for you. However, billing for electricity is done a different way in homes, as it is done in factories and large commercial premises, so there is no advantage in fitting this scam at home! If you are in large commercial premises, then a PFC Specialist company would be your best bet.

Not tried the product, but just checked google maps, getvoltex registered address on street view looks like a CAR PARK in New York, what does that tell you.

Amazon are selling this 2 for £16.99 and cheaper versions and it's still doesn't work! Don't get sucked in!

I have not bought this device, but was interested in the device since by electricity bill is high. I came across the advert for Voltex, and spoke to few people. They have all told this is money down the drain. You will be using electricity to power-up the green led light. These people should be reported to Advertising Standards Board.

The Voltex ad shows a before and after graph of the voltage and current on the wiring. The before picture shows two curves that are not in synch. Their claim is that they make the system look like that on the right hand picture, where the voltage and current are in synch. The power consumed by a house is shared amongst many appliances, such as heaters, irons, kettles, cookers, lights. These already behave like the right hand picture, i.e. they are already optimum.
The only appliances that behave like the left hand picture, the 'before' situation, contain inductive loads and these are almost all electric motors. These are found in freezers, refrigerators and air conditioning units. An electric motor CANNOT work with the current and voltage in synch. That is the first fatal flaw in their logic.
The second is that you can in principle make voltage and current in synch using a capacitor but in order to affect your power bill, the capacitor must be capable of handling kilowatts of power. A plug sized one simply could not do that, it would need to be in a decent sized box.

Haven't bought one (God forbid) I have however seen many reviews for similar devices making similar claims.
Some have been video reviews by very skilled electricians who weren't afraid to dismantle them. The main component on these devices is a large capacitor making absolutely no difference to your home electrical system. In Voltex's case, they throw in a little led to give you the impression of some activity. Of course it's a scam. There is no other way of describing it. Stay away and shame on the websites that host such scams.
