As Loved By
As a work from home professional, I find myself looking at the usage data a lot. Accepted what the AI recommended, I like how easy it is to save energy and I'm 100% behind the environmental cause.

This is very cool and it makes a lot of sense. We've always been told to unplug appliances to save energy, but that's unrealistic for me. I like being "passive" sustainable and the carbon tracking is very insightful.

The hardware is actually pretty compact, which is a pleasant surprise. I like how staunch it is with bulky plugs plugged in and the fact that you can rotate the outlets. Helps with tight spaces!

Space Heater
CampbellI've been using the acorn plug for a month - it's helped me identify that my space heater has been using a crazy amount of electricity. Super helpful insight!
PS5
ThelastgreekgodWe never take the time to think how much electricity items are using while turned off but plugged in. Revert has an easy to use device that tracks the use of electricity from the plugged-in item. I barely use my PS5 and found out that having it plugged in collecting dust will cost me over $20 a year. Products like this are actually going to fix our over use of energy and I'm excited to contribute what little I can to help revert educate the masses!
The Peloton Tread
ScottI love the smart plug and app. So easy to set up and save energy! I had no idea how much power my Peloton leeched when not in use. The graphs of the actual phantom load being used were fascinating. I hope to get some more plugs soon so that I can save more.
Monitoring the Monitor
DavePlugged the computer monitor in the Teak Trunk and realized that even though its turned "off," it is actually still drawing power. The AI basically learned these phantom draws and cut power off. Very cool.
Standby Printer
BillCan't believe my printer stands by at 12 watts all the time. Never printed anything for an entire week...Here in Maine, it costs me $15 a year to have this plugged in and not even in use.
The TV
LucasI was able to get the acorn up and running in a matter of minutes for my tv. It's really nice to know how much of a carbon footprint it has and will want to use it with even more to both save money and prolong the life of my devices.
Rad City E-bike
TomWe charge two e-bikes: Rad Wagon and Rad Utility Step. I really would like to monitor energy consumption to offset gas consumption.
Dyson Fan
Al_Y_Love being able to find out how much energy my electronic devices actually consume - how much power does it draw when it is just plugged into the outlet.
The app is easy to setup and the device pair easily. Highly recommend.
PS4
Urchin JohnRevert is very fast and straightforward to use. After I plug in the outlet for a few seconds, I can use the app to control it. The app is smart enough to monitor my PS4's power usage and save it intelligently. You can even remotely control the outlet. I've enjoyed using the revert app.
The Kettle
Andyh1492Great product, really like the ability to see when exactly my appliances are using energy and how much - I have a digital kettle that I plugged into it so it was interesting to see how much energy it used outside of just when its boiling water.
The kettle is pretty low energy usage on an ongoing basis though, so I will be plugging something else in my house into it to find more energy savings from the automatic scheduling!
Noise Machine
eliotsmithnycWith a new baby at home we wanted to undersatnd how all of the baby gadgets consumed power and where we could find energy savings. The Acorn was super easy to setup up and gave us a clear picture of the energy of our appliances used. From the humidifier to our white noise machine - a must if you live in a noisy city - we were able to identify those that were sucking power and switich to more efficient, sustainable alternatives.
