WHOOSH! Expands Tech & Gadget Cleaner Line-Up at CES 2015

Underscoring the powerful retail business opportunity presented by the rapidly growing tech hygiene category, WHOOSH! Inc., creators of WHOOSH! Screen Shine screen cleaner, today announced the expansion of its 2015 product line-up with the introduction of new WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes and WHOOSH! BLAST compressed gas duster.  Both new products incorporate the same clean, crisp branding featured on the original WHOOSH! Screen Shine screen cleaner, providing retailers with an extremely compelling product line guaranteed to drive impulse sales of the entire product line. WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes and WHOOSH! Blast will be unveiled at CES 2015 at the Las Vegas Convention Center in the North Hall, Booth #6116.

“We believe that 2015 will be the year that millions of consumers finally understand the importance of practicing good tech hygiene and now WHOOSH! solutions are available in a broader array of configurations to suit individual needs and lifestyles,” explained WHOOSH! Inc. CEO Jason Greenspan.  “2014 was a year of record-breaking growth for the company that saw us gain distribution in all North American Apple stores, Walmart, Staples Canada, Target Canada, Fryes, and Shoppers Mart, among others.  In fact, WHOOSH! is now available in more than 5,000 locations here in North America.  In addition, we have begun distributing the line in Asia and Europe, with additional distributor agreements likely to come out of this CES.” 

Available for delivery in Q1, WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes combine pre-treated disposable wet and dry cloths into single serve packages that make them as easy to carry and use as handi-wipes are for hand cleaning.  Consumers can safely clean, polish, and protect all of their tech and gadget devices by, first, using the wet Wipe cloth and, then, polishing it with the dry cloth.  “New WHOOSH! Screen Shine Wipes deliver the same amazing super, natural, clean result as our original WHOOSH! Screen Shine screen cleaner spray,” Greenspan explained.  “Now it’s available in a different configuration to suit consumers who are very accustomed to regularly washing their hands with handi-wipe type products.”

Also available for immediate delivery in a 10-ounce canister at a suggested retail price of $8.99., new WHOOSH! BLAST compressed gas duster is designed to enable consumers to maintain a more complete tech hygiene program — particularly as it applies to their notebooks and PCs, which often attract all sorts of dirt, dust, and crumbs in and around the keyboard.  “New WHOOSH! BLAST has been designed to deliver an burst of compressed gas that effectively ‘blasts’ dirt, dust, and crumbs out from among the keyboard keys.  Then consumers can use their WHOOSH! Screen Shine solution of choice to complete the cleaning and polishing of their device.”   

In conjunction with the introduction of an expanded product line At CES 2015 Greenspan said that the company will once again host its free Screen Check-Up for all show attendees who want to see just how dirty their phone or tablet screen is.  “Our before and after test will really demonstrate just how effective WHOOSH! Screen Shine is, and when the test is complete, we will give each person a free trial sample of WHOOSH! Screen Shine.”

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is the next generation screen cleaner that is made with non-toxic and biodegradable surfactants instead of with harsh chemicals that can damage mobile devices. Leveraging the latest advancements in formula development, WHOOSH! is specifically developed to be a safe yet powerful cleaning solution that cleans both screens and devices — makingthem shine like new while leaving an ultra-thin invisible coating that provides a resistance to dirt build-up, smudges, and fingerprints.  WHOOSH! does not contain alcohol, acids, ammonia, chlorine, petroleum distillates, phosphates or volatile organic compounds. 

WHOOSH! is available for purchase at all North American Apple stores and at more than 2500 Walmart stores, as well as in Target Canada, Staples Canada, Canadian Tire, and Shoppers Drug Mart stores. WHOOSH! can also be purchased at www.whooshscreenshine.com. 

WHOOSH! Screen Shine is available in a number of sizes:  Duo+ (one 3.4 fluid ounces and one .3 fluid ounces) is for a suggested retail price of $19.95, Pocket (.3 fluid ounces) for $5.99 and Go (1 fluid ounce) for $9.99. All sizes come with a 6”x6” W! micro-fiber cloth. WHOOSH is also available for the commercial, industrial, and education markets. 

WHOOSH! Screen Cleaner made its debut at CES 2014 where it became the only screen and device cleaner to be awarded two coveted CES Innovations Design & Engineering Awards.

New Panamax Power360 Series Protects And Powers All Household Electronics, And Delivers Easy USB Charging

Consumers outfit our homes with more electronic devices than ever before, including expensive TVs, cable boxes, home theater systems, WiFi routers, computers, tablets and smartphones. And while we may not always think of it, every time we plug a device into an outlet there is the possibility of too much or too little power going to the device, and the last thing we want is a broken TV!

No one knows this better than Panamax, the country’s pre-eminent designer and manufacturer of electronic and electrical protection, filtration and control products. For almost 40 years Panamax has earned a reputation for creating unique solutions for the worldwide problem of power disturbances, has earned numerous industry awards for the quality of their products and is consistently rated #1 among custom installers.

Now the legendary Panamax protection is available to all in the new Power360 series. This affordably priced retail product line is designed to protect and charge all electronic devices.

Leading the way in the new Power360 Series is the Power360 Dock. This wall-mounted charging station delivers the Panamax “Circle of Protection” to connected devices while serving as a convenient USB charging station for smartphones and tablets. For just $39.95, the 360 Dock turns a normal power outlet into a serious power station with six surge-protected 120V outlets plus two 2 amp USB charger feeding two ports. The ingenious design also features two precision slots on top of the unit that allows consumers to rest a smartphone or tablet while charging, reducing clutter and eliminating anxiety about charging cables being too short.

And what is the Circle of Protection? Included in every product in the Power360 line, it provides consumers with three vital pieces of information in real-time, right on the front of the unit. The Protection indicator ensures that connected devices are protected from power surges. The Voltage indicator confirms that the Power360 product is operating correctly and delivering the right amount of power, and the Wiring indicator shows that the home’s wiring is performing safely.

The $59.95 Power360 SIX power strip is designed for computer desks and home theater setups, providing six side-by-side surge protected outlets, an integrated 2 amp USB charger with two ports, plus a coaxial in/out connection that protects the signal for the cable or satellite box. What makes this power strip stand out is the USB charger that can be extended to the tabletop with a micro USB cable, delivering ultimate flexibility that allows consumers to easily charge desktop devices without having to get on their hands and knees to plug them in. The SIX also features mounting holes so it can be fastened to a wall for convenience.

For larger workstations, or areas with a lot of devices, the $79.95 Power360 EIGHT combines eight surge-protected outlets with two detachable USB chargers, each with two ports for a total of four USB charging connections, plus the coaxial in/out for signal protection. It is shorter and wider than the SIX, and can similarly be mounted to a wall for convenience.

“With the introduction of the Panamax Power360 Series we really are bringing ‘power to the people,’” John Benz, Core Brands Director of Power emphasized today.  “Designed to look as good as they perform, and priced for retail, the Panamax Power360 Series will change the way consumers view protection and USB charging in their homes.  The era of poor performing, commodity power protection is over.”
