Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip LCG4 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology and Fax/Modem Surge Protection
Customer Review: Works Great
Summary: 5 Stars
Worked great out of the box. Very easy to setup, and looks great too. The only quirk in my setup is that my Sony Bravia TV is the controlling unit; the TV turns on to show the Bravia screen, and then goes into a low power mode briefly before tuning the input (e.g. TV) at full power. During the brief low power mode, the controlled units which switched on with the TV will switch off before coming back on when the TV hits full power. Not a big deal, but then again this is driven by the power-on design of my TV.
I am pleased with how this device works.
Customer Review: Works nicely
Summary: 5 Stars
Recieved device and it works as I figured. Most people don't realize that so many items are always on. There is at least a transformer with a relay waiting to turn on so many items. I use this Smart strip with the computer. Now my DSL modem, screen,speakers,back-up hard drive and even my pencil sharpener are completely off when the computer is off. I'm trying to save energy. I have saved alot on my natural gas bill by installing a "tankless" hot water heater which I am very pleased with its performance. I'm always looking to save.Customer Review: My Review Of Of The Smart Strip Power Strip
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the Smart Strip surge protector power strip for about six months now. It works exactly as advertised and shuts off peripheral devices when the primary device like a TV, is turned off. I wrote a review on my energy saving blog here: [...]
Doing the math, at our current utility rate of 12 cents per kilowatt, the Smart Strip will pay for itself in only one year. In the meantime, it is helping your electronics last longer by shutting them down and by protecting them from up to 2850 joules of surge.
Customer Review: Great product that works as advertised!
Summary: 5 Stars
I doubted the benefits of this purchase at first, but after the first day, I realized it does make a difference. I connected the Control Outlet to my TV and as soon as I turned it off, my AV system, speakers and gaming consoles(all plugged as Automatically Switched Outlets) turned off, reducing the so called vamp or invisible energy consumption. It's design allows to connect clunky plugs without obstructing other outlets. The presence of Constant Hot Outlets is great for such things as your DVR or Router.Customer Review: Good idea, but problems with use...
Summary: 2 Stars
I saw this product featured on the CBS Early Show & it looked cool. I bought one for myself & one for my boyfriend's house to save energy on our computers.
Great idea - but it hasn't worked well for me so far. Whenever I plus my laptop into the Master outlet, it clicks on/off/on/off/on/off endlessly until I turn the whole thing off. Grr.
I DO love the idea of the master outlet controlling power to the peripherals, but I hope this product makes improvements.
