Benjamin once said that a penny saved is a penny earned. What he didn’t know is that electricity, which he coincidentally discovered, would come in such high cost today. If he did, he probably would have stated that electricity saved is a penny earned instead.
If you’re trying to set aside every monetary resource that you have, the last thing you would want is a staggering electrical bill – this is where the new HiSaver Energy Saving Powerbar for PC (model SWE-100U) comes in. This energy saving gadget features a unique motion sensor technology that effectively trims down electricity consumption automatically. Its mechanism is rather simple: after 10 minutes without detecting motion, HiSaver automatically sends a message to the intelligent power strip to turn off the power to the 5 Energy Saving outlets therefore eliminating all standby power. When HiSaver’s motion sensor detects a presence, it will automatically return power to those Energy Saving outlets. It does this 24/7 to help you routinely save money on your electricity bill. It can provide 16 hours worth of power saving to all PC peripherals amounting up to $0.50 savings per day or more and there’s the Zero Standby power that can save an extra $30 to $50 per year.
Furthermore, HiSaver features a high voltage surge protection at 3044 joules and helps extend the life of PC peripherals and home entertainment systems. The device itself merely measures 15″ H x 7.5″ W x 2″ D and weighs 2.60 lbs. For added piece of mind, it comes with a $1,000,000 Limited Connected Equipment Warranty.
