Belkin Conserve monitors appliance energy usage

It’s tricky knowing just how much energy each of your devices uses.  You can make a guess at it, but sometimes it helps a whole lot more to know for sure.  Besides, it might help motivate you and your family to start unplugging items when they’re not in use.  This small gadget monitors how much electricity is consumed and the watts, so you’ll know where your major energy sucking appliances are located.

You just plug in your gadget of choice into the Belkin monitor and it’ll keep track.  Not only that, but with this you’ll be able to compare how much energy that expensive light bulb is actually saving.  It’ll also let you know the actual dollar cost of keeping that device operating.  You can purchase this one for $29.99 through Amazon.  Although it’s not released just yet, so you’ll have to wait a little while for it to be shipped.
