Two Stop Watts purchased on 10/9/23 for $112.86. Item was supposed to save on electricity. I tracked usage for two complete cycles and electricity cost and usage went up compared to last year at this time. There was an extended warranty included in the purchase. I emailed the [email protected] email address provided. I received no reply. I sent three subsequent emails, also with no reply. I would like to be refunded the amount I paid and also make note that their product does not work and their customer service is non-existent. No transaction number.Business response

Last year I saw an online ad featuring Elon Musk. The ad claimed that Musk had invented or funded development of a device to save on electricity bills. Based on this information and admiring Musk's technical capability, I purchased two of the devices. Now I see that the device has nothing to do with Elon Musk. The ad was false. The devices also has had no effect on my electricity bill. IThe advertising is not true and the product does not work as claimed.Business response

After seeing an advertisement associating the company with Elon Musk, I decided to buy 4 units. Two for my home and two for my mother’s home. Upon tracking the performance for the required 60 days before deciding to return, we did not see any noticeable or effective change to our bill. The guidelines for usage were followed exactly and we have determined these items are ineffective and would like to return them and be reimbursed.Business response
