"  Even when electrical appliances and devices are turned off, they&amp;#039;re still drawing power if they&amp;#039;re plugged into a wall socket. Now it&amp;#039;s unreasonable to go around the house constantly unplugging and plugging in everything from your coffeemaker to your television set. The solution? Smart power strips. These ingenious gadgets sense when the microwave or stereo isn&amp;#039;t in use and cuts the electricity so they won&amp;#039;t continue to draw power from the wall. Likewise, they &amp;quot;know&amp;quot; when you&amp;#039;re making toast and restore power. While we&amp;#039;ve never tested them here at the lab a few popular ones you might try are Belkin Conserve Smart F7C007q AV Energy Saving Power Strip ($29.99, Amazon) or Smart Strip 7-Outlet Energy Saving Surge Protector ($25.88 Walmart) To learn more about saving money on energy bills, check out what our Technical Director Stacy Genovese has to say about cutting energy usage.
