Mashita Electronics Adds Exclusive Online Distributor, "Solutions" for Watt-Minder, Appliance Cost and Current Meter
Mashita Electronics announces the selection of "Solutions?" online retailer as the newest distributor of the "Watt-Minder" Appliance Cost & Current Meter. Vickie Desofi, Manager of Catalog, and Internet Sales for Mashita Electronics lauded the venture as an important step in the introduction of a new product into the consumer market. Solutions? is currently the exclusive online retailer for the Watt-Minder 90100G."The Watt-Minder is an innovative product", says Desofi, and it requires a trusted marketer like Solutions to carry this type of product to the consumer. The Watt-Minder measures the consumption of electrical appliances and presents the cost by the hour, month, and year.
"The potential benefits are two-fold", explains Desofi first, the consumer can get an understanding of the cost of appliance operation using variables such as timer settings, temperature settings, and over all appliance efficiency.
Secondly, as consumers set, use, and replace appliances the combined effect is to reduce the energy load on our power grid, and thus help in the stabilization and efficiency, and thus the cost of delivering electrical power to society.The Watt-Minder was first introduced in Fall 2004.
It is currently offered for sale at home improvement, hardware, electronic parts and aquarium supply stores. The Watt-Minder carries the ENERGY STAR seal from the Environmental Protection Agency, a division of the U.S. Department of Energy.
Once you determine the energy hogs in your home or office look for the ENERGY STAR to identify the most energy efficient replacements..

But what one culture finds to be an answer may not fit the needs of another.Consider that apartments in urban Asia tend to be small? very small. For example, the Ginza East Apartments in Tokyo offer a 215 square foot "Studio 2" efficiency apartment for $477 a week. So here you are, a busy working stiff in Tokyo and no time (or space) to do dishes.
Enter the countertop dishwasher.
Make no mistake, these are real washing machines with pumps, thermostats, and heaters, but they are only the size of a microwave oven.
They do what they do well, and dishes come out too hot to touch. See http://www.countertopdishwasher.com.A Kitchen in a Box:It is a combination refrigerator, sink, and stove that comes preassembled right out of the box.
