But still rather negligible for residential.

As you said for someone billed on kWh. I think part of the scam is that
pf correction helps if your billing has a penalty for reactive power
'consumed'. Doesn't help residential, but scammers don't know or forget
to mention that.
Also where used, the correction has to be matched to the reactive load
at the time. Does your box, Incorrect, change the pf correction with the
load? Or does it always apply the same correction - increasing the
current when there is not enough reactive load?
And some of the scammers say the current is decreased and intentionally
or stupidly confuse that billing is for Wh, not VAh.
Incorrect (what an appropriate name), people here are well aware of what
pf correction is about. Everyone responding says your box is a scam.
No one supports you. Why do you suppose? Or is this an invention from
Area 51?
