Standby Buster is a remote controlled electrical socket that lets you switch appliances off completely so that they use no electricity. Leaving them on standby unnecessarily uses electricity costing you money and contributing to Carbon Dioxide (CO2) emissions. Standby Buster requires no installation, simply plug into an existing socket to convert it to remote control. Standby Buster is the only consumer electronics mains switch to be recommended by the Energy Saving Trust. Standby saving is highlighted by the Energy Saving Trust as the key energy saving tip.

How It Works

Many domestic electrical appliances have a standby feature: for most appliances, standby is simply a matter of convenience, from standby the appliance can be switched on by remote control. In the standby state appliances may still be drawing significant levels of power incurring cost and wasting energy. This unnecessary electrical consumption could be reduced by unplugging the appliances when not in use. This can be inconvenient with wires and plugs often tucked away out of sight, making access difficult.

Easy to use

Standby Buster addresses these issues. The product consists of two parts; an electrical socket/plug and a remote control. The Standby Buster socket is plugged into any normal electrical outlet and can be switched on and off with the remote.

Take a typical setup where a TV, DVD, Sky Box and a video recorder are plugged into a four-way block that is in turn plugged into the electrical outlet in the wall. Simply unplug the four-way block from the wall, plug the Standby Buster socket into the wall outlet then plug the four-way block into the Standby Buster socket. You can now switch off the power to all the appliances completely using the Standby Buster remote.
