Kitchenware News & Housewares Review Show Daily Sunday, March 15, 2020 2 6 Viatek Unveils Lustrous New Surge Protectors Introduced in the early 2010s, Viatek's Quirky Pivot Power line of surge pro- tectors has grown to encompass a wide array of plug saving power ports. These have included the app-enabled Pivot Power Smart, the diminutive and space-saving Pivot Power Mini, and a subline of workbench ready power strips such as the Pivot Power 2x3 and the illuminating Powershell. Now, the line expands again with the addition of color variations with a stylish, glossy gleam. Introducing: The Pivot Power Metallics. These shimmering new color schemes are gold, silver and the ever- popular design option of rose gold. Rose gold is one of the hottest trends on the market, dotting high class phones, jewel- ry and even cars. With the continuing success of the Pivot Power line, it's only common sense that Viatek would get in on the action, providing customers with the latest and most fashionable aesthetic options. The metallic colors will be made available for the existing Pivot Power Desktop 2.0, which features three swivel- ing outlets and a slender frame. This makes it perfect for accommodating the bulkiest of adapters, and for fitting into even the most cramped of office spaces. Another feature is the two powerful USB adapters, meaning that you can charge phones or tablets separately while powering your desktop. The other Quirky surge protector that sports the new metallic colors is the original Pivot Power 2.0. This classic product offers your office or living room an incredible charging capacity, providing a whopping total of six differ- ent outlets. It also has a five-foot exten- sion cord with a 45-degree angling plug, meaning that no plug-in port is out of reach. The power button also allows you to easily switch its 1080 joules of surge off and on as you see fit. The Pivot Power 2.0 already comes in white, black, pink, teal, green and Holiday green colors, while the Pivot Power Desktop comes in white. They also have a cloth covered cord, fur- ther bolstering your home and office's classy aes- thetic. The new metallic hues give a brand-new life and sheen to the pop- ular electronics line, allowing gadgets to be both energized and elegant. Those looking for surge pro- tectors with a lustrous finish need look no further than the Viatek booth at the show.

Preserve Your Past & Protect Your Future with Alpha Guardian By Malissa Phillips, Marketing Event Program Manager, Alpha Guardian As natural disasters increase at an alarm- ing rate, devastating wildfires, flooding and other disasters pose a growing threat to the safety of your most precious belongings. Meanwhile, both identity theft and theft of possessions are reach- ing an all-time high. Alpha Guardian encourages Americans to take action: Preserve and protect what matters most. The U.S. ranked No. 2 behind India for countries most affected by natural disasters. Emergency preparedness can provide reassurance that if tragedy hits, you've safeguarded those things that matter most. We all have sentimental items that can't be replaced, but they can be carefully preserved in a safe designed to keep out the effects of fire, smoke, water and extreme environments. Well- meaning guests may not recognize the value of your keepsakes. Preserving them in a home safe ensures you won't come across your aspiring artist nephew finger painting with great-grandpa's heirloom quilt as a dropcloth. Instead, the quilt will remain just as you left it, secure inside, next to generations of photo albums and your precious collections. Cannon Safe has long been the leader in superior-quality home safes. The substantial weight, four-inch locking bolts and Tru-lock internal hinges of Cannon American Eagle Safes make it difficult to carry away or pry open, and it can protect all that's inside, even through a raging fire for up to 60 minutes. In fact, thank you notes from safe owners have featured jarring pictures of fire devasta- tion, with an Alpha Guardian safe stand- ing alone amid piles of ash and rubble, open to show jewelry, documents and keepsakes perfectly undisturbed! Another important step in emer- gency preparedness is to gather critical documents, cash, credit cards and identi- fication in a portable waterproof, fireproof safe. Stored in your home safe, this emer- gency kit is always available for quick and easy retrieval in the event of evacua- tion, and ready to pro- tect essential paper- work whether you're in an evacuation shelter or on the road. Home burglaries happen in the U.S. every 15 seconds, so it's no surprise sales of home security systems and entry cameras have skyrocketed. While we think of theft as a stranger "breaking in," many instances of theft occur as invited guests enter for family visits, playdates, dinner parties, deliveries and service calls. A safe provides a pivotal layer of home security that protects from dangers inside the home. As rising cost of living increases co-living arrangements, the need for a home safe is magnified as liv- ing space is shared with roommates and their guests. As older Americans make up a larger proportion of the population, retirement communities are growing, too. With staff members, other residents and their visitors moving through the community, a small personal safe can protect against vulnerability to damage, loss or theft. Stack-On delivers exceptional value and vari- ety of secure storage solu- tions for home, outdoors and on-the-go. As the idea of "home" expands, Stack- On specializes in flexible design and features to protect belongings wherever you call home. RV's and tiny homes offer flexibility, and affordable travel promises adventure, but nobody wants the adventure of trying to replace stolen cash and travel documents. Stack-On portable safes and personal security cases travel easily on planes, trains, automobiles and cruise ships, and while staying at hotels, hostels, campgrounds and AirBnB rentals. Many are also designed to withstand extreme condi- tions. To learn more about Alpha Guardian, visit www.alphaguardian.com. The Jazz Collection from Duralex Duralex presents the Jazz collection designed to celebrate jazz, a music genre that originated in the African American communities of New Orleans. Jazz music originated in the late 19th and early 20th centuries and developed from roots in blues and ragtime and became known as America's Classic music. Taking cues from the styles and décor of the early jazz era, the new Jazz collection features vintage-styled, verti- cal ribs that naturally play with light. The glasses are made to withstand heavy duty use and to remain crystal clear for the next generation. The new Jazz collection offers two sizes: one suitable for long cocktails and a second glass designed for spirits such as whisky served short. Ideal for both hot and cold drinks, these stackable glasses can be used for more than cock- tails. Duralex is the only glass manufacturing company that manufactures all of its products in France. These glasses, like all Duralex glassware, are made in France from tempered glass – a durable, nonporous material that is two-and-a-half times stronger than ordinary glass. Duralex glasses are stackable and safe – if broken, they shatter into small chunks rather than jagged shards – and are microwave, freezer and dishwasher safe. Duralex has been manufacturing tempered glassware through a process it invented in the heart of France since 1945. For more information, go to www .duralexusa.com or stop by booth #S760.
