Liberate your power strip! If you’re anything like us, you’ve got an overloaded power strip somewhere in your house with a pile of wires connected for charging up all of your portable goodies — cell phone, camera, mp3 player, an extra cell charger for when your friends come over with a nearly dead cell phone, etc. It’s an unsightly mess and, if you’re really unsorted, likely a fire hazard. So here’s to simplifying life and consolidating that socket frenzy into a single plugged multi-charger.
The Seven Device Recharging Station stores and powers up to seven devices with two 2.4 amp-, three one amp-, and two three-amp ports — with surge protectors (rated at 1,080 joules, the strongest available in a charging station).
The stylish stand features nonskid surfaces and racks to cradle your devices as they charge keeping your iPod, tablet, PDA and cellphone on display and within reach while juicing up simultaneously.
Integrated smart-charging technology adjusts the energy output of each port to optimize recharge times of your devices. The 3-amp ports also feature Quick Charge 3.0 technology for compatible devices that can recharge a dead battery to 80% full in around 35 minutes.
For $99.95 from Hammacher Schlemmer, put this on your must-have list for 2008 de-cluttering.
