The greatest thing about  the HotelSpa is you can turn off the water while shampooing hair etc. It's saves water, therefore power =$.
These worked great in our Condo, where we replaced two shower heads with these.

Please add a stay on feature and you will get 5 Stars from me

I'd give this 10 stars if I could.  Having to deal with meals during business trips to standard expensive hotels has been the bane of my existence for years.  For a while, it looked like fridges and microwaves were becoming standard hotel room equipment, and I discovered the joys of buying prepared foods from nearby groceries or taking restaurant leftovers back to my room.  But then the hotels realized that made you less likely to buy overpriced food from their restaurants or room service menus, so they started taking the microwaves away or charging for them.  Enter the Hotlogic!  It functions exactly like your slow cooker, just in a small, portable form.  And there's no food smell to give you away, as it all stays inside the pouch.  It takes about 45 minutes to heat food.  I can't wait to branch out a bit on my next trip and try some real slow-cooked meals.  I won't have a knife or can opener handy as I don't check luggage, but I might try something like pulled pork and green beans.  I can also foresee a use for this at home in summer, when it's too hot to cook conventionally.

You can technically take this to Europe if you invest in a voltage step-down converter, but be aware that most continental European hotel rooms are set up so that all power is turned off when you take your card key and leave the room - including the refrigerator, if you're lucky enough to have one.  This is limiting enough that I decided not to take it on my last trip.  The UK is more hospitable as you're more likely to have a fridge and unlikely to have the card-key power switch.  If you can find a nearby Waitrose you'll be in business.

I really like the auto turn off feature. I often forgot to turn the coffee maker off. The thermal pot is definitively a plus - glass ones break easily.

The powering down feature is incredibly annoying!!!  Picture it you are taking an TIMED online test for graduate school, you are thinking our answer you figure it out.. and go to select your answer and BAM!  your mouse went into sleep mode.  With you test clock ticking you flip the mouse over to turn it back on and burn your retina as the laser hits it.

The top center button apparently turns it back on but I was terrorized through one test that was enough for me.

The auto-off or sleep feature kills this otherwise good product. This device will turn off after a few minutes if you are not playing any audio thru it, even if it is currently connected to your phone or other device. To turn it back on you have to slide the power switch off and then back on. It does not matter if the speaker is plugged in or not.

While I can understand why this would be a useful feature while the speaker is on battery power, it makes no sense at all for it to do this while it is plugged in. Its not like you need to worry about draining your battery.

This speaker does sound good, better then I was expecting in fact. If the auto-off feature was disabled while plugged in, this would be an awesome speaker.

I travel a lot and most hotels have horrible wifi in the rooms and this has been very helpful. When I first tried it, the wifi was down in the lobby and I was on the 5th floor, hotel wifi had 1 bar and I could barely load Google homepage. This has been very helpful with giving me max wifi and making the internet useable. It also helps with devices that cannot accept the hotel tos (like roku device), only one device needs to accept it and all devices can connect without any issues.

I take this charger with me so I can use it in hotel rooms that don't have outlets near the bed--it keeps me from having to pull out nightstands and unplug clocks or lamps. I'm very happy with it and it is an inexpensive way to make life easier while traveling for business. I've also used it when sitting at a dining room table, in which case the cord went clear across the room to a wall outlet.

great in every way except one.  I agree with other reviewers about the lights.  My girlfriend has an air purifier and it has an option to turn off the lights.  Where do you think people will most likely use this device?  in the bedroom.  duh........  bright lights are VERY annoying.  and yes, I know you can turn off some of the lights.  this is true, but you can still NOT turn them all off and they are very bright.  I have to cover them with tape/clothes etc.  whatever I have on hand.

It works well. But it would be nice if there was a way to turn it off when not in use.

Let me start by saying out much of a hassle it is to not have this. When I had to turn the lights off and my phone or computer was not near by I had to flip the switch on the wall. Doing that turns off the light and disconnects the light from the Wifi and messes up the connection of the light to the Hue Bridge. With this switch, I can turn on and off the lights without disconnecting anything, dim the lights down, and even program my favorite light arrangements to be a push away. Need I say more?

As a frequent traveler I use this mini-router in hotels and on planes.

Some hotels require login pages to access wifi, which is fine for PC, but sometimes phones, tablets, and gaming devices cannot reach the hotel's login page. With this mini-router I use my PC to connect hotel wifi, then connect phones, tablets, and gaming devices through the router. Everything is then on hotel internet. Easy to set up.

This also can save you $$$. In Atlanta airport you must pay for WIFI. With this router I pay once, access the WIFI through my laptop, then can broadcast that network to my other devices. Has all standard router controls (SSID hidden / broadcast, passwords, etc)

It's a little easy to tear getting in/out of the liner.  It does give peace of mind in sketchy hostels/ hotels.

The only thing I would change is the auto-off feature, it turns itself off after an hour. Convenient for when you're going to bed, sure, but it'd also be nice if they gave us the option to let it stay on if we want it to.

Its cute we really like it. The only reason I give it 4 stars is because you cant turn it off when not needed, u actually have to unplug it.

So I got one of these and within the first month I saw a $50 reduction in my power bill. Seriously!

It all started after I got a power meter and started going crazy to find what was sucking power around my house. My power bills where at 100+ and it wasn't making any since. So I started measuring and found out that my entertainment center was eating 80 - 85 Watts of power when it was OFF! Now everything I have didn't exactly cut off and turns out my Sharp Aquos was eating the most power off.

  Devices OFF/suspend  Watts (estimating from memory)
  ----------  ------------------------------
  Sharp Aquos  40
  Wii  5
  Apple TV  12
  Popcorn Hour  15
  Wireless Bridge  10
  Oppo DVD player  1
  Reciever  5

Now the Apple TV & Popcorn Hour actually never really turn off. Also no way to really power off the wireless bridge. I started pulling the power for the surge protector, but this was a pain to unplug and replug in every time. Most of the time I just left it plugged in.

Then I saw this! I got and it's so worth the money. Makes it as easy as flipping a switch.

One thing you have to get used to with the remote switch is you can't just flip it like a light switch, you have to press down to assert you are turning it on or off. I think this could be a safety feature to ensure that if someone leans against it it will not power everything on or off. Would be bad if your in the middle of a big game and someone leans against it and turns everything off.

It does though have 2 "always" on ports that do not get cut off. For devices like DVRs or routers.

Yes highly recommend. The wireless remote makes it simple and easy to completely shutdown what you want and not have anymore devices eating electricity when your not using them. Paid for itself in the first month.

After having one of these at a stay at Embassy Suites last week, I liked it so much - I bought 2.
If you open the battery cover, you can disable the hotel mode so that it doesn't reset to 6am alarm everyday.
It also has great double power outlets and double usb charger outlets. It doesn't have any frills on the alarm clock feature, but the simplistic nature is why I liked it.

Cons:
Only 1 alarm
The button to turn off the alarm is too easily hit when trying to hit snooze. I have inadvertently turned off the alarm every time I've reached for the clock since I got home.
The knob takes forever to get to a designated alarm time if moving more than half an hour. It would be nice if you could scroll by hour and minute as my schedule constantly moves based on work demand and days off.

For light sleepers, this is great and the power outlets/USB outlets are fantastic. For Heavy Sleepers, this may not be for you unless combined with phone alarms or some other backup alarm clock.

I would suggest some customization for home users to allow the top knob/button to not turn off the alarm as it is pretty big and other ease of use adjustments. With some simple modifications, this would be my favorite alarm clock.
