TrickleSaver PC
We recently reviewed the TV TrickleSaver
and needless to say, we were mightily impressed at this eco-friendly
device that not only reduced our carbon footprint on the Earth but it
would ultimately save us money in the long run.
The device works in a similar way to the TV
TrickleSaver and ultimately reduces vampire energy consumption. For the
uninitiated, vampire energy consumption are devices that may appear to
be turned off but are in actual fact still turned on. These devices are
generally in "standby" mode which means there is a constant source of
energy feeding this device.

So how does the PC
TrickleSaver actually work? It's simplicity is the key and when the PC
is powered on, all the peripheral devices are turned on as well. When
you turn the PC off, all the devices are turned off which is ideal for a
variety of accessories connected to your PC. You can even connect other
adapters to this device, ensuring a broader range of devices connected
to it.
To install it, you simply plug the USB into
your PC which will detect if your PC is on, one cable into the mains and
the other cable into a power board which could contain your PC, monitor,
printer, scanner and the like.
It should be noted that
the TrickleSaver PC only works when the computer is turned off and not
in Standby mode. However I know for a fact that many computer users have
a considerably amount of devices still using energy when their PC is
turned off, however this device makes energy wastage a thing of the
past.
I also commend the developers on its neutral design, allowing the unit
to not look out of place in an office or home and best of all, it can be
used on both PC's and Mac's. Add in a 1-year warranty for additional
peace of mind and in the long run, this is the perfect device to make
your PC eco-friendly and ultimately save you some money.
