This is a very dishonest company it decided to go in another direction it's not refunding customer money. Do not do any business with this company you cannot trust power x hanging out to dry!

This is a great idea Not only do you get hot water 'on demand' you save energy too Great for the environment. We need more 'green' products.

Loved this concept since I heard the first pitch. Excited to hear feedback from the first group of residential users here in the states. The beta tests went perfectly!

Hi from Canada! I'm just doing some due diligence - seems you have a great mission for de-carbonization - I think climate change is very real so thank you! I noticed you list some of your business partners. Congrats on working with @katmanalac of Ycombinator - heard great things about them from my Canadian friends that have gone through their incubator. I did see however you list Antler as one of your partners, which I read something about in this article from Medium below. Native Black Ideas Matter Too: Antler https://medium.com/@jhamar/black-ideas-matter-too-antler-ab5fadd8a165 Is this the same Antler you're business partners with?

Review of PowerX
As a former systems engineer at GE Electric and Gas in their European base in Florence, Italy, I can see multiple issues with this product. Before I did into claims of PowerX, Manuel - you appear to be the Founder - can I ask about your qualifications in designing this product? Please confirm this is your LinkedIn Profile. https://www.linkedin.com/in/manuelschoenfeld/?originalSubdomain=qa According to your profile Michael, you have degrees in "Chinese Studies" from Heidelberg University and an "International Business Administration" degree from Rotterdam School, neither of which are engineering or computer science degrees. This product seems very technical in nature. Simple question, who is actually designing this product and you have a Technical Co-Founder? Do you have a working Prototype? Do you have any Data to back up you claims of reducing Heating Bills? I ask because as a former System Engineer, I was responsible for designing control systems for very large heating systems. We have spent millions on developing these for home use and found that feedback control loop in heating is quite slow with a long "transient" and coupled with often the small water storage capacity of household, it lacks any meaningful improvement in efficiency. We certainly didn't see a "65% reduction in heating bills" per the claim of your website. We actually found that a simple on/off switch controller with an app that alerted users when to turn on and off their water heater (coming home from up) actually works best. I look forward to hearing your comments.
