RE: Satic Power cleaner

I plan to buy a 2nd one and can see. Though IIRC that seemed like a sealed plastic box. Like you really couldn't open it nicely. Will see.
Edit. I sell solar and a competitor was installing whole home versions of this and claiming savings
Here is what our ee said about that:
If you have 3 phase, and AC motors they do work on correcting phase power factor. Most homes only have AC motors in air-conditioners. These devices do little on lights, TVs, computers, etc. on a single phase home. This also assumes the power factor is bad on the incoming electric 3 phase service, if the power factor is not off, you have wasted money. Need to test power factor, determine which devices it may help and then do the math.
