    If you have to reach down to the electrical outlet, in order to turn this thing off.....wouldn't it be just as easy to simply UNPLUG the item you want turned off?? Rolling Eyes

    Don't think so #2. According to the description: The Conserve Power Switch cuts power with the flip of a switch.

    puppyhstomper is mistaken. It's just a switched outlet, but it is easier than unplugging, and there is no arc that can occur when you have no other way to turn the power off. I have one and use it every day. I was about to ordr two more, but the Ben has the price wrong. It's $5.99 plus shipping unless you fill your basket with $25 of qualifying purchases.

    A switch that turns off power when you don't want something running?

    BRILLIANT!

    It was $5 and change when posted....now it's $6. You still get free shipping (two-day) if you are a Prime member.

    In most situations, this is useless...just unlug, rather than switch. Sometimes, though, the trick is in the re-plugging-in. I've got a few plug behind furniture that are very difficult to plug anything into as you can't see it very easily. I could easily reach down blindly to hit the switch, though.

    I do with the witch was on say, a 6ft lead, though. That's much moe usefull.

    If you are that series of power saving- there are some surge protector with individual power switches so you can switch on/off individual outlet- I think that's more convenient for me.
    Or you think get out of couch and switch on/off manually take you too much energy - you can get IR remote controlled switch like this one. ( Save your walking distance and also cheaper). U can use couch potato's best weapon -remote control to turn it on/off. You can also announce you upgrade your home and your goal is "home automation" not laziness.

    ( This auction did not include remote- you need to use your remote from TV, dvd... etc)
    You can also find 2 way or 3 way remote controlled power switch as well.

    To the guy vote me thumb down. : Thank you and I think that's probably only thing you can do. BTW it is nothing to me. I really don't feel a thing. But looking forward to see you do better than this - even I doubt you can.
