The Smart Strip: The Power Strip that Conserves Energy

RK
The Smart Strip is an energy saving power strip that you plug your electronic devices into. Oprah.com says the Smart Strip is a "great way to conserve energy and cash".

There has been a lot of talk about the Smart Strip being a smart device to conserve energy. In a time when living green is important, the Smart Strip is offering consumers a way to conserve energy without any hassle.

How Does the Smart Strip Conserve Energy and Save Cash?

Electrical devices that are plugged in use energy even when they are not being used and are turned off. Think about how many items you have plugged in to an electrical outlet in your house or office. Computers, televisions, toasters and anything else you have plugged in, is using electricity even when turned off.

To save energy and money, you could unplug all of your electronic devices when they are not in use, but that would be a big hassle. The Smart Strip is the better option. It detects when your devices have been turned off and stops the device from drawing electricity. The Smart Strip can also detect when devices are not being used and turn them off.

Using the Smart Strip stops needless energy drain from electronic devices and therefore reduces household energy consumption. Less energy consumption is better for the environment and saves you money.

Features of the Smart Strip

The Smart Switch has two different types of outlets. Control and hot outlets. The control outlets are the outlets that will monitor electronic devices and turn them off when not in use. The control outlets also stop turned off devices using electricity. The hot outlets are ordinary outlets. They do not monitor devices or conserve energy. The hot outlets are good for devices that need to remain on constantly.

In addition to energy conservation, the Smart Strip provides surge protection. Surge protection protects your devices in the event of a power surge.

The Smart Strip is available in different sizes that offer different amounts of outlets to meet your needs.

Warranty

Smartstrip.net states the following warranty terms:

"Smart Strip offers a 30-day unconditional return; 2-year guarantee on manufacturer defects; and lifetime return policy for damage cause by a power surge."

Where Can I Buy the Smart Strip and How Much Does it Cost?

You can buy the Smart Strip at Smartstrip.net. At this time, there are six different models of the Smart Strip. The prices range from $30.95 to $43.95.
