No More Tugging to Unplug Appliances -- Easy Does It With 'EZ Plug'
Just Press a Lever; No Manual Strength Required
LAS VEGAS, May 9 / -- National Hardware Show, Booth #22506 -- If you're tired of playing tug-of-war every time you unplug your coffeemaker or hairdryer -- or fed up with putting your hands through the wringer when you disconnect your laptop, vacuum cleaner or any other everyday appliance -- Power Sentry's EZ Plug can put an end to the struggle.
The EZ Plug is a wall adapter with a special ergonomic lever on top. Press the lever in a downward motion, and it triggers a mechanism inside that pushes against the outlet to gently nudge the EZ Plug with the attached appliance plug out of the socket. The EZ Plug stays connected to the appliance so you get the same resistance-free results every time you pull the plug. No manual strength is necessary.
This helps an individual perform daily activities that may be physically taxing or even impossible in some cases. It also eases wear and tear on appliance cords.
The EZ Plug can be used with any two- or three-pronged electrical product. Simply plug the appliance into the adapter, then plug the adapter into the wall, and you're good to go. Placing EZ Plugs on multiple appliances can provide relief many times a day.
The EZ Plug comes in a "try me" package that lets consumers test the action of the lever before buying. It is sold in mass market retailers and drugstores at an SRP of $3.99 per plug.
