Is RealWatt a Scam? Real Watt Energy Saving Device Review

RealWatt or Real Watt is another energy-saving device scam. I am a professional electrician and have worked in the field for many years, even had an electrical contractor's license. I spent my greatest number of years in the field working as an electrical technician and troubleshooter and I can tell you that everything in a building, be it a house or otherwise, requires so much power and you get billed for the amount of power you consume, not for capacity, current or anything else.

The RealWatt Website

There is a power equation and you can manipulate any part of the equation but on the other side of that equation, you will have total power needed or consumed and that will not change, unless you want things not to work or wear out sooner than they were designed to.

I can get a 120V light bulb to work for at least a short while, but if the voltage is too much, the thing will burn out. I can play around with the current but things will either not work or stop working soon.

There is really only one way for anyone to save on electricity and that is not to use it, period. If anyone really wants to save on electricity, then use only one or just a few solar panels to create your own electricity. Solar panel systems can be custom-designed to serve the needs of just one or a few circuits but one does not need to spend $20,000 for an entire house system. A product like RealWatt is not going to get you anywhere.

Power factor correction can improve efficiency.

As PT Barnum said, "THERE'S ONE BORN EVERYDAY".. Snake oil is snake oil is snake oil.. The ONLY way to reduce your bill is to cutback on USING power, or get solar panels, and they aren't free either.. Even if this THING had a chance to work it would have to be plugged into the main feeder going into your breaker panel and be able to handle the ENTIRE load of your house going through it without burning up.. Plugging something into your WALL RECEPTACLE DOES NOTHING.. LOL..LOL..LOL..

Power companies send in more than we use. If Real Watt does not save you money 100% no question money back guarantee

Electric companies don’t send any electric into your house it’s used on demand. Which is demand from your appliances and lights in your house. And that’s 100% guaranteed without spending any money.

I completely agree with the Redmond, Washington commenter. Devices consume energy based on what they need, and not “what the electric company feeds”, as falsely claimed in the original story of RealWatt.

According to their website "RealWatt uses a breakthrough magnetic filter to remove carbon from the electrical circuit". Hmmm.... Where does the carbon come from since electricity is transmitted through copper and aluminum wiring? What does this miracle device do with the carbon? Does it deposit coal dust under your outlet? Further inspection of their website shows a claim that the device "provides a stable output that is free from costly sine wave noise, voltage bleeding and current imbalances". Never heard of voltage bleeding in my 45 years as a power engineer and the balance of current on the two phases of your house changes continually as you turn on and off single phase loads like outlets, lights, kitchen appliances, etc. This whole thing is a pile of rubbish, including the story about how the 18 year old inventer went to Harvard on a scholarship in order to become an electrician like his dad. There's a sucker born every minute....
