Perch — it’s a brand-new solution to a growing problem. Chargers are left behind in hotels by the millions, and most companies’ solution is to just sell another charger. There are very few real, practical, affordable solutions to control vampire power. Unfortunately, these are problems most people might not recognize. Currently, there is no single solution that can solve both problems. Until Now, Perch.
On the road and at home, Perch reminds you to unplug your cords. Perch sits between your charger and the wall and chirps when you disconnect, so you don’t leave your cords behind – wasting both time and energy.
Perch — watching your wires.

EDITOR’S REMARKS
These days, most of us travel with a bag full of gadgets, each of which requires its own proprietary charger. When we plug these chargers into outlets behind the bed, in the bathroom, and under the desk of our hotel rooms, it’s far too easy to leave one behind.
Fortunately, the Perch is there to prevent you from losing any of your expensive AC adapters. Simply plug your charger into the Perch and the Perch into the wall. When you remove your device, the Perch will make a chirping sound to remind you to disconnect the charger.

finally a product that prevents me from leaving my charger behind ! I am tired of paying $89 for replacement laptop charges
This product is excellent, when you will be on sale?
They will sell in Latin America?
I really see this product very useful and a great price. Where can you buy?
Excellent…
Es un producto super atractivo y practico y muyy barato.
Good product
Perch will certainly fulfill a current need that exists, and do so at an affordable price. Who hasn’t left a charger behind before? This product will help eliminate that problem. I can’t wait to purchase mine.
Interesting concept and at an affordable price. I like it. This would make as a great stocking stuffer… where can I buy?
Great idea! Saving every penny you can in today’s economy is important. To have a little reminder helps. Would definitely purchase this product!!
This is a great idea! I have the worst habit of unplugging my phone and leaving the chord in the outlet. I can’t tell you how much energy I’ve wasted or sadly how many chargers I’ve left behind on vacations. this is going to save me so much money.
The lawyers in my firm are constantly leaving their blackberry, Android and iPhone chargers in hotels or vacation homes. This leaves my IT department in short supply. We are constantly ordering spare chargers. A device like this would solve the issue!!!
Excellent
Get idea and concept! (i am now the proud owner of three charges because of leaving them behind)
Great idea especially since most phones eat up battery power and I need to charge my phone more frequently.
Awesome idea.
So far, i havent left one behind, but
ya never know what the future has in store.
I like to travel prepared.
What a FAB product and price. Perfect gift for those on the go.
Great idea. Simple, convenient, reliable, and the chirping gets the job done unobtrusively. There is no system or device in the same league. The chirping is even cool and amusing. Especially for those who travel a lot, bring along with them phones, laptops, and other gadgets, and recharge them in hotel rooms, Perch is a welcome addition.
really cool awesome
looks really good i want one right now
With four kids I’m so busy that I love any device which helps me! When I get sidetracked (which happens often) the Perch reminds me to unplug, making my home more energy efficient (Saving money— YAY!) and safer (open ended electrical cords and kids don’t mix well).
When we travel, I have so much to pack I could forget my head if it weren’t attatched so this solves remembering one vital item and alleviates the fall out from forgetting the chargers (phone not charged, the inconvienence and cost of buying a new one). Now could somebody create something to remember sippy cup?
Wonderful product!
Great idea. There is so much press about lost chargers, landfill waste and vampire power. This is a solution for both.
Fantastic idea for hotels.
Great gaget! I’m a very forgetful person and always on the run. I hate having to buy a charger about one every couple months. This is also very affordable. Average cost of charger $25..cost of perch $10..savings of $15. Not having to buy another charger..PRICELESS!!
I consider this product very original and usefull. I think that this could solve a lot of everyday problems for many people!! Good luck!!
Great idea!! I hope could get one!!
Finally, an answer to my travel woes. Can’t wait for this to hit the market. Arriving at the next meeting with a dead battery and a forgotten charger (due to jet lag, etc..)in my last hotel is an exasperating problem. I will enjoy a fair priced solution.
Super!! Very interesting!
Great idea it wii save me over $250.00 a year in new charges
Great idea it wii save me over $250.00 a year in new charges were do I get one?
great idea great solution
Love the concept of perch. Why not have it cut the power automatically when u unplug device?
This concept is excellent and reduces the frustration factor.
Interesting, will have to test it.
I love this idea and hope to get one soon!
es perfecto!!! muy practico y util!!! excelente
excellent!!!!! When you will be on sale????
is perfect! where I get it?
this product is excellent and original!
very good!!! already on sale?
very useful, and I think that cell phones would have to come with this accessory
very useful, and I think that cell phones would have to come with this accessory
Great idea!!!! I am sick if leaving my phone chargers behind!
Yvonne
I hope LPS developed a family of products around this technology. It’s a fantastic idea with a great future
GREAT idea and Great price!
Cool idea!
I am definitely going to need one of those! Very cool product idea… a simple solution to a common problem, at a great price.
This is a great idea. I am constantly leaving chargers everywhere I go. Would def purchase this item.
NICE! I need one ASAP. I don’t even want to admit how many chargers I’ve left behind while traveling. It is SO aggravating!!!
What a cool, simple little gadget!
Cool
Excellent!!!
EXCELLENT!!
EXCELLENT

Great idea! never know what the future has in store
Rhis is a great idea!Excellent product! never know what the future has in store
It´s a great solution!
Great solution!!
Finally I’ll stop leaving my chargers behind on the road! Invariably Im in a rush to get out of the door at some point in a whirlwind tour and that’s another new charger to buy. Time to put an end to that!
Great idea
the product is excellent!
Awesome idea. Innovative!
Awesome product, innovative.
Simple, smart and affordable. Great product.
Whoa. I wish I had this 4 chargers ago!
Great solution to a problem most people don’t even realize is out there… yet. Luckily it’s priced low enough so it can be an impulse airport of checkout line buy. So cool. Can’t wait to check it out.
Cool idea.
Bravo-Sell millions, you deserve it for bringing this idea to the world. This is one of those unique ones that pays for itself over and over, and will even train you to be more aware of equipment you have brought somewhere….Pavlov’s theory anyone?
My three sons will need one for their computers, they leave everything behind. Keep innovating!
I love the different aspects of this product. I would purchase Perch mainly so that I would never leave my charger behind (again), but love the idea of saving energy, and keeping chargers out of the landfill. What a great little device at a great price!
Great Product!! After leaving my charger at the hotel for the 10th time, I know first hand this product is a necessity in my suitcase!
Fantastic idea…think it would make a great stocking stuffer for frequent travelers…will it be available before Xmas??
One less thing to stress about when traveling? I’m in!
Who thought of this? I have over $1000.00 invested in chargers that Ive lost or left in hotel room or just can find in all the draws in my house. When I forget my charger in a hotel I go to the front desk and ask to borrow one and they pull out a bag or two filled with chargers that people left behind. When and where can I get one?
As a traveling executive, I think this is a great product that every corporation should purchase for it’s traveling employees. It’ll save the corporations time and money. A win win for all!
I’ll buy this for me and all m employees!
This would of saved me lots of money & time on picking up new chargers after the realization that I had left my charger in a hotel room 500 miles away! Can’t wait to purchase mine & add it to my overnight bag!
This is such a good idea at an awesome price. It is very easy to leave your charger behind when traveling, I can not wait to purchase this product!
It’s about time for a great product that will me save time and money in replacing countless laptop and cell phone chargers left behind. The perch will pay for itself endless of times. I think the only ones that will not like this product are the hotel maids.
Great idea!
Great, it’s what I was expecting.
Chargers no longer lost.
I am thrilled! I have lost THOUSANDS of charges!
Where can I buy it NOW???????
Congratulations to the inventor.
I love the fact that it reminds you to unplug cords before you leave the house for extended periods of time!!! A great pricepoint too-i would put these all over my house!!
Excellent solution.
In my travels allow more than one magazine in the hotel. This will help me not to forget much more.
Kudos to the inventor. I would put this on a infomercial.
Great.
This is amazing
Great idea, awesome price. I’ll buy it.
Smiling about this product
Sounds great! Can’t tell you how many times we have left chargers behind! also, like the chirp idea, rather than any other sound!
Eco-friendly
Fabulous Idea !!!!!! I can’t begin to tell you how many chargers I have bought while on vacation because I have left mine at home. I love this Idea !!!1 Good luck
I need one of these for each of my children!!!
It is fantastic! great invent!
this is a good product..I ll buy this!
WOW! What a great solution! I am forever leaving my phone charger in hotels and then paying through the nose for another one.

Yvonne

What a fabulous idea. Please advise when available. I would be interested in selling it on my website ShopForStudents.com. In addition, we will donate 15% of the selling price to the school, youth team, group or non-profit of our customers choice. Thanks.
Sometimes the best ideas are the simplest. Can’t wait to buy a couple…
What a fantastic invention. Can’t wait to buy a couple…
Boy, this is a nice product… I sure wish I had it on my last trip to Vegas. I was still drunk when I went to leave and then I left my chargers behind. The stupid hotel wouldn’t send it to me, so I had to buy a new one. $45 later, my laptop totally died. This never would have happened if I had Perch.
Love this idea!

Perch – were we are “watching your wires”
Very cool product. I know I’ve bought more than a few new chargers after leaving them at hotels, friends houses, etc.
Great idea!! Since I have left behind 3 chargers in hotel rooms, this would be a great product to have. Where is it available?
Great useful idea! Saves me a lot of money in the long run with an initial low purchase price.
Awesome product. It’s such a simple/affordable solution.
Pretty cool product, I need one now!! I forgot my charger last Friday in Miami
This is a great product. Those charges for Apple products are very expensive nowadays. I think every Apple users should use this. It will have a great market in China.
Great Idea!!
like it.
What a great concept!! Price is great too!
[...] measure, some of the products that made it to the semi-finals are hardly amazing. A good example is Perch, a $9.95 device that sits in between your mobile device charter and the wall outlet that [...]
Am I the only one not drinking the Kool-Aid around here?!
It “chirps when you disconnect” – But most people who leave their phone chargers in hotel rooms DON’T DISCONNECT.
Idiotic solution. For all those who say “I have to buy this” – great – but when you find yourself buying another phone charger AND another Perch, well I told ya so.
A practical and inexpensive solution to a common problem.
If you do not disconnect your device, then not only will you be buying a new charger and a new Perch, you will also have to buy a new cell phone, camcorder or laptop.
The idea behind the technology is to prevent you from leaving your charger behind after you disconnect the device.
According to articles in popular newspapers like The Wall Street journal, there are chargers left all the time in Hotels, creating significant landfill issues.
Not to mention the hassle and cost of buying a new charger.
Besides the fact that you are far less likely to forget your phone or laptop behind in a hotel or someplace, many people still fail to see the another huge benefit of this product: the aggregate energy savings that will be directly associated with this device. Really, just imagine the collective sum of total savings that will one day come when 1 million+ of these things are being used out there in our finite resource world. A enormous reduction in: unnecessary &/or overcharging of batteries; vampire power drains; the cumulative power used per person during the life/use of this device; and other forms of waste, wear-n-tear, and inefficiency. Think of this invention/concept on a grand aggregate scale (also, think green!) and then the only thing you’ll be saying is “I can’t believe this item wasn’t invented much sooner!”
to the “Dude” we here are Perch could not have said that better ourselves. Great comment and yes we will focus on a product line that will do just that …. reduce energy wast using the perch technology . please emial us your address so we can send you a perch . sales@perchdirect.com
I got what you mean, thanks for swing up. Woh I am gladsome to conceive this website finished google. Thanks For Share Perch » Last Gadget.
