Out with the cords!
We have a big bowl that is filled with various chargers and electronic devices. It is always a jumbled mess of cords and an altogether eye sore in my kitchen. Recently my youngest decided to take all of the cords and play with them in a giant cinnamon roll. There is still icing in all the nooks and crannies. With the Powermat you can let go of all the cords and charge your devices in one sleek location. This unique mat will charge up to 3 devices at once. All you need is the powermat and then the adapter for each of your devices. Your powermat will also come packaged with a powercube that includes 8 different tips. Confused? Adapters are really easy to use - the blackberry adapter is actually just a replacement battery door. Just swap out the battery doors and then anytime you sit it on the powermat it will automatically start charging. The nintendo DS lite and DSi adapter just fits right over the back of your nintendo. All of the adapters are easy to use and completely cord free. You only need one per device and you won't have to worry about misplacing your charger because it is now attached to your device. I've had 2 different cell phones stop working because the charger wouldn't connect properly - with the adapters that is no longer a problem. The powercube is just like the adapters in that once you sit it on the powermat it automatically starts charging. The difference is the tiny wrap around cord that you can change out the tips on to charge your various devices. You can even store the tips that you use in the included storage case. I love only needing one plug to charge three devices. I promise this advanced gadget actually works - it even makes a sound that lets you know your device is charging. I love the sleek design and the complete lack of cords all over the place. I really love that I don't have to remember to pack 12 different chargers every time we go out of town. Powermats also come available in a portable version which makes traveling so easy. The powermat folds compactly into an included travel case that has room to store the power cord as well. I love the idea of having two powermats - the Home & Office Mat downstairs and the Portable Mat upstairs. That way I am no longer having to move cords about the house - I have one easy location on each floor to charge my devices. When we go out of town I can just grab the portable mat and I am good to go. This is such a cool device and it's so easy to use too!!

A powermat would make it so that I didn't have to search for all my chargers and then I could have central spot dor devices. And more outlets to utilize.

This is AWESOME! it would simplify our lives b/c we have 9 million cords on the counter everyday trying to charge everything. not only is it messy, but having all of the power cords are a safety hazard with our 20 month old! i'd love to have this!!!

This is great! I always forget to charge my devices. That's how it would simplify my life. Right now I have my phone charger at work, my computer charger in my computer bag, and the list goes on! Everything everywhere.

A Powermat would be wonderful for my house because we have 5 cats and they try to to chew the charger cords on our phones, e-book reader etc. So with it they wouldn't be seeing the cords and no more having to buy new chargers

I love technology. This would be such a welcome product in our home. Wires everywhere. We have a toddler and would very much like to cut down the amounts of wires plugged in. This power mat would be sure to provide us with a better way to safely charge our stuff.
The powermat would definetly clear up some room on the kitchen counter! We have cell phones and a blackberry hanging out there.

This would make things soooo much easier in my household!! It would be great to only plug one item into the outlet to charge both our cell phones and my iPod. This way we can put it somewhere that my daughter can't get a hold of.

Our chargers are a mess, though I wish I had them all in one place (like your bowl, at the least!). My toddler is always grabbing at them, so it would be great to have them all in one place, out of his reach.

We would love this! To keep all of the wires away from our 1 and 3 yr old, we use the outlets on the counters in the kitchen. Looks awful and takes up my kitchen space. This would be great!

I can imagine that this would be great for my parents-they have cords all over their desk with things they are charging. My dad especially would LOVE this!

Ohmigosh! How would a powermat NOT change my life. Like you, we have charger cords that have to be wriggled to get them to connect and then they must be ever so gently laid down so as not to disconnect. When you come back later, it's anybody's guess if the device is charged or not!
The Powermat sounds wonderful!

This would really help me because if I was to give this to my daughter she couldn't use the excuse of why she hasn't called because her cell phone wasn't charged. Thank you!

How would this simplify my life? Let me count the ways, LOL!
1) no more chargers to track down
2) a neater looking home~less clutter
3)no dead cell phones, ipods, video games etc...
4)Only one plug needed so you have to be using less electricity, right?

My husband and I are in a constant battle over who has the charger. If we had this pad at the house, we could finally leave that argument. :)
subscriber!
This powermat is awesome! I can never remember what room my cell charger is in, and same goes for everyone elses cell chargers and i pods. This mat would eliminate all the cords just laying around (not that i can find the right one when i need it lol)
A powermat would make it that much easier for us to charge everything at once and keep it out of the way of our little one!

My room is very old and has only 2 outlets around the walls. One holds my phone charger and my laptop, the other holds my night light and TV. I just need more power :(

We are always forgetting to recharge our portable electronics items. The Powermat would make it easier since all we would have to do it lay the item on it to have it charged.
A powermat would be awesome! I could charge several of my electronic gadgets at the same time!

we wouldnt have a thousand chargers in the house
It would make it easier to have everything in one place without the mess and tangles.
This would simplify my life because I wouldn't have to pack a ton of different chargers for all of the family's electronics when we travel.

Cut down on the mess of various power cords and usb cables that pollute my desktop
omg with all the elctronic stuff in my house I might be able to breath again with this
I would not have to look all over the place for my chargers.
it would totally help control the clutter of chargers and cords
Our house is like yours -- it's all a jumble of power cords. Remembering to charge your phone -- and remembering to take it with you -- is a chore. This sounds like a great product.
This would really help clear up the clutter on my desk, and free up some USB slots on my pc.

Each cell phone in the family uses a different charger. This would definitely simplify life by having one central item to recharge them.

Wow I want this - with phones and ipods and cameras always needing charged around here and never having the cord handy when you need it, this looks really beeping awesome. I have seen them on Tv and thought they'd be more pricey than they are.

The lack of cords and knowing that everything is all in one place would definitely simplify my life. Thank you!
This would simplify my life so that I could have all my things charging in the same place instead of where the outlets are located.

This thing is such a great idea. It would simplify my life by providing a charging place for more than one device and by allowing me to leave my corded charger at work... unless I bought two!
It would simplify my life because I think it would make sure everything got charged liked it was supposed to. No having to search for a million power cords, and so forth.

All of my family could charge their cell phones at the same time.

It would help clean off my bar. I have atleast 3 charger cords on there at all times. It drives me crazy. lol Thank you!
I would simplify my life by eliminating some of the clutter that overwhelms my home!
I would LOVE a gadget like this! Technology at it's finest! With this, I would never have to worry about all the lost chargers, like the one we've been looking for for the kids nintendo DSI for about 2 weeks now! UGH!
Thank you for the great giveaway!

I could put this up out of the way where the kids wouldn't be pulling on the charger to reach our electronics!!
It would keep things more organized (doesn't it seem like everything has a charger, and there are always cords, etc. lying around that no one knows goes to what?!?), and organized is GOOD.

how would it not simplify my life? we have an end talbe pile with chargers, cords all in a giant tangle and them they fall off......
The powermat would be SOOOO great! Right now, our chargers are all over the place and the kids can never find theirs. It would be SO nice to have everything in one place!
I wouldnt have to look all over the house for an open Wall unit to plug into!!
Thanks~
this would be great as i have a horrible time trying to charge my cell phone
We constantly have things charging all over the house and even in the car when available. This would streamline the process and help my daughter remember to charge her phone so that I can keep track of her!
We have so many charges hooked up it's hard to keep track of which one goes to what p[lus it's hard to find an open outlet when you need one and I don't like that. This owuld make things so much easier, a one stop charging shop!
thank you

Wow, how great! This would make my life so much easier being able to get rid of some of the billions of cords that we have everywhere. My almost-1-year-old is constantly pulling on any cord and not only is it annoying but unsafe!

I can't count the number of power cords we have in this house already...but can't find. This would be perfect for those days when life just isn't working as planned.
This would be great! We have so many things that need to be recharged in the house so there are cords everywhere! We constantly are yelling at the dog not to chew on them or pull them out of the receptacle! Great giveaway! Thanks!

Powermat would simplify my life because I'd never lose another charger again. In the past 9 months I've lost count of just how many chargers we've lost due to our dog chewing them up. He never messed with hardly any other cords except chargers while they were plugged in! I swear I dunno how he hasn't fried himself
