Product Review - the Smart Power Strip

Smart Strip Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology and Surge Protection

You can plug your stuff into the plug into the wall which doesn't protect for surges.
Or, you can use a surge protector to protect against surges.
Even better, you could use this smart energy strip to not only protect against surges, but to save energy.

Most electrical devices produce what is called an idle current. This means that whatever you have plugged in, even if it is turned off, is still costing your money and drawing a current. By using this power strip you can eliminate that consumption and cost by automatically turning peripherals on and off.
