Quick answer

Exaggerated savings claims made by third-party sellers, not by this official store, followed by cases where a buyer's bill did not visibly change because their home is dominated by resistive rather than motor loads. Both are addressed by testing the device with kWh tracking and using the 60-day guarantee if it does not help.

"The savings claims are exaggerated"

Agreed, when it comes to claims made in some third-party ads. No plug-in power-factor device can guarantee a fixed percentage cut on a US residential kWh bill, because home meters generally bill real power, not reactive power. See our full explanation on does StopWatt really work. This store publishes no savings percentage anywhere, including here.

"My electric bill did not change after I installed it"

That is a realistic outcome in homes with mostly resistive loads (electric ovens, baseboard heat, incandescent lighting) or modern, well-wired construction. It is exactly why the guarantee exists: test it for a full billing cycle by comparing kWh, and return the units within 60 days if you see nothing worth keeping.

Homes with heavier motor loads, older wiring, or long-running pumps and compressors are more likely to notice a difference; see does StopWatt really work for the detailed breakdown by home type.

"I bought from a site that disappeared or used a fake celebrity endorsement"

Look-alike checkout pages and fabricated endorsements are the biggest real risk in this product category; see our page on the Shark Tank claim. Orders placed on those sites are outside our control and outside our guarantee. Buy on this domain, getstopwatt.net, to be covered by the policies published here. See where to buy for how to tell official from unofficial listings.

"Support never replied to my email"

If you ordered from this official store, reach us at support@getstopwatt.net with your order number and we will respond during US business hours. Orders placed through other sellers or marketplaces must be handled by those sellers directly; we cannot service an order we did not fulfill.

"It seems too simple to actually do anything"

Power-factor correction is genuinely simple to use and genuinely real as a technology; it is standard practice in industrial electrical systems. The honest debate is about the size of the benefit inside a home billed for real power, not whether the underlying physics exists. Read how StopWatt works for the full mechanism.

Are there complaints about safety?

Why do some review sites rate StopWatt poorly?
Some critical reviews correctly point out that US residential meters bill real power rather than reactive power, limiting bill impact. We agree with that criticism and do not oversell the effect; see does StopWatt really work.
Can I trust complaints posted on unrelated forums?
Verify whether the complaint is about a purchase from this official store or from a different reseller using similar branding, since policies and product batches can differ significantly.
What should I do before filing a complaint?
Check your order confirmation email for the order number, review the shipping and returns page, and contact support@getstopwatt.net first; most issues resolve within one email exchange.
