Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip LCG5 Energy Saving Power Strip with Auto-Switching Technology and Modem/Coaxial Surge Protection
Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
I ordered 2 of these and 2 of the smaller version. These were for my computer systems. Setup was easy and the always on outlets made it easy to plug in the modem and wireless router so that they could continue transmit even when the computer, monitor, printer, and speakers were deactivated. I recommend that you start out with the main device turned on and then adjust the dial until it turns off the dependent outlets. Then turn it back just to the point where they are turned back on. I suspect that I will see quite a savings from these.Customer Review: Smart Strip LCG5 Energy Saving power strip - good product
Summary: 5 Stars
I've read a couple of reviews that seemed to be of a negative nature for this product but THIS PRODUCT WORKS FINE FOR ME. You just have to know the capabilities and how to use it! That means...READ THE DIRECTIONS! The power adjustment knob is a little touchy at times and sometimes it doesn't cut the power when you'd like but if you spend a few minutes and have patience when you're adjusting it, it's easy to get it right. Once again, if it's not working for you READ THE DIRECTIONS, you're probably doing something wrong.Customer Review: Works as promised.

I bought this for use on my computer. It worked as promised. I did have to adjust the sensitivity dial on the strip to get it to shut down when putting my system into standby, but worked fine after that.
A couple of items to note:
-I couldn't plug my cable modem into one of the switched outlets without getting an error every time the system started back up.
-The phone cord that comes with the unit is only a two lead wire, so don't use it if you're running multiple phone lines out of one jack.

The manual is not clear as to how to use this strip. All items plugged into this strip are ran by the main item plugged into the blue plug (control plug). Another words, if you have your TV plugged into the control plug, and then you plug in a stereo system, VCR, converter box, lamps, etc. into the other outlets, when you turn the TV on, EVERYTHING comes on. You cannot turn just the lamp on. If you don't have something plugged into the control plug, nothing will come on at all.Customer Review: Works great

I love this auto-sensing power strip. Not only does it offer surge protection, but it works as advertised, turning off all devices automatically after I turn off my tv. Great for entertainment components that draw power even when turned off, like amps and subwoofers and dvd players, etc. Now all my units power down completely when I turn off my tv to save electricity and go into standby mode only when I turn on my tv so that they can also be used if desired.
