So how the hell can this work?

It can't.

There is a youtube video of it working as well. The power company
charge you for VI don't they so it is best to have unity power factor.
I would have thought most PFs in homes are near unity anyway.

Domestic consumers are only charged for real power, so power factor
doesn't matter (rather, it only matters to the extent that it affects
copper losses within the premises, which is negligible).

The above device wouldn't save the average consumer 0.1% of their bill,
let alone 15%.

So you do not have central HVAC, refrigerators/freezers, clothes
washers, dish washers, or any other motor loads in your house?
