Other devices such as TVs may continually use power after you turn them off, however it is for a reason such as maintaining custom settings or channel searches you have entered - try unplugging your tv and you may see that it needs to be "set up" again next time you plug it in. The one thing this power strip will help with is anything that converts AC power to DC. Examples are adapters, chargers, the black "box" between the wall plug and the plug that goes into your computer. These devices use some power even when your computer is not on. Even without this power strip it is good practice to unplug these devices - you will notice that they get warm or even hot to the touch, and they can be a fire hazard.

We just can't get in the groove of unplugging things when we aren't using them but we could use this!! I'm searching for it on Amazon now. Thanks! I knew there was a reason All You was my favorite!!
