Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I just moved into a new apartment and have been reading about all of the new power strips out there, especially the green ones. I was wondering if you had any suggestions about which "green "power strips are out there with decent joules ratings. And when I say green, I mean power strips that have the remotes or switches to turn off all electricity flowing to certain plugs and with at least 2 plugs that are always on. I was looking specifically at sub $50 because I will need two, but if that is not possible I could be convinced otherwise. Thanks!"
To me, it's either go Vizio, Westinghouse, or Olevia, or go Kuro. I just don't see any reason to pay 2k for a set when the quality difference between the vizio plasma and the samsung (or similar) is meager at best, when a few hundred or another 1k will get you a Kuro.
I'm sure others disagree, but I kind of have a bang for your buck mentality. I either want to get a lot for my money, or get the best. Going in between the most for my money and the best just seems like not getting a very good deal while at the same time not getting the best.
