Mini Power Minder

The Mini Power Minder is a cool little power-saving device for those who often forget to turn off their appliances, computers and gadgets when they’re finished using them.

Just plug your main device into the primary outlet (along with a USB cable) and when you turn it off, the second plug turns off automatically.

That’s right, just turn on/off your computer or appliance as you normally would, and the Mini Power Minder circuit sends a signal to the “Secondary” socket, which will automatically switch on/off any plugged-in peripherals. Save time and money as well as prevent extra wear and tear on your equipment. Plus, it also offers surge protection for your PC and devices.
