From the Manufacturer

Save energy and reduce utility costs with the Belkin F7C009 Conserve Socket Energy Saving Outlet. Because a device left plugged in but not in use can still draw power and affect your home's overall energy usage, the Conserve Socket lets you decide when to turn off power to your devices. It automatically shuts off power after the time interval you select, helping you to use energy more wisely.

F7C009 Conserve Socket Energy Saving Outlet At a Glance: Easy to start with a simple switch Three easy timer settings: 30 minutes; 3 hours; or 6 hours Safer home--automatically shuts off space heaters, curling irons, and more Saves energy--completely cuts off power when set time expires Uses zero energy until start is hit Limited 1-year warranty

Automatically shuts off power to devices after selected time interval. View larger.

Save Energy with Timed Power
At any one time in a typical American household, there could be up to 40 devices drawing constant power. This can average up to $100 year in additional energy costs. To address this problem, the Conserve Socket works like an egg timer for your energy consumption; it shuts off power to your device when the timer expires.

Make Your Home Safer
For a safer, more energy-efficient home, use the Conserve Socket with devices like curling irons, space heaters, lamps, and more.

Three Timer Settings for Easy, Customizable Operation
The Conserve Socket has a timer selection switch with three timer settings--30 minutes, three hours, or six hours--as well as an automatic shut-off to reduce wasted power. It starts with a simple push button, and a green LED illuminates when the socket is active.

Versatile Design
Standard U.S. three-pin power outlet compliant, the Conserve Socket does not obstruct the lower outlet of a standard U.S. power outlet when plugged into the top outlet.

The Conserve Socket Energy Saving Outlet is backed by a one-year limited warranty.

With many "Conserve" products, Belkin doesn't necessarily create a brand new concept with their creation, but they excel in design and execution!

I am a fan of their remote-switch "Conserve" power strip, and I love this little gadget too.

It's essentially just a timer for an outlet, not unlike the existing products you can find on Amazon, but Belkin greatly simplified the controls, and made it so the power timer is on-demand instead of on a schedule.

Unlike the relatively complicated dials of some other timers, the controls on the Belkin Conserve Socket are pretty much idiot proof. There's a switch on the site that lets you choose from one of three time increments (1/2 hour, 3 hours, 6 hours), then a button on top to start the timer. It then shuts itself off when the time elapses. That's it! Easy.

It's perfect for keeping a lamp on while the kids go to sleep, for charging gadgets where you want to reduce phantom draw, and this Christmas, I think I'm going to try it out for attaching my Christmas tree lights (turning the lights on only when we want to for a time).

Overall this is a nice, simple (and inexpensive!) product.

This product works as advertised. It is just a relay that kicks off after the set amount of time. I like it because:

* It's dead easy to use
* It draws no power when off
* It is small and nice looking enough that you don't mind leaving it in a power socket
* It's rated for 15 amps, as much as any outlet can deliver, so you don't need to worry about whether you're plugging in something that could burn it out

I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars because I'd like more timeout choices than 1/2 hour, 3 hours and 6 hours.

My battery powered drills always need recharging and I was concerned about leaving them on the charger until I needed them. I've heard they could cause a fire if they get too hot. This product allows the tools to be charged but removes the danger. I purchased 4 outlets and also use them for our cell phones. You can keep your chargers plugged in but they do not draw electricity until you turn them on. The best thing is the time can be easily adjusted to 30 min, 3 hours or 6 hours. I am very pleased! The product is made very well, not shoddy.
