Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: Well worth the price for savings
Summary: 5 Stars
I buy nothing but energy star appliances. I stumbled onto this product on an infomerical late at night when I couldn't sleep. I was very impressed. I bought it and thought I would give it a try for my computer. I read several articles concerning computers that sap a lot of electricity even when you turn it off. It's not just the computer itself but also the monitor, speakers, printer, cable modem, and if you have a cordless phone plugged in; this equals even more electricty that is spent. What's bad is that I have speakers that are hooked up to my computer that has a light on it that never shuts off. My one question was how would my phone (Optimum Voice) and cable modem (Optimum Online) would treat the energy star power strip. I noticed that there is a spot on the power strip for items that need to be on all the time such as the cable modem and phone (wireless, charger amd base). I plugged in my cable modem to the power strip marked "always on" but my phone's charger base has that plug in the shape of a big square which doesnt fit on the charger. This is the only minus. Wish it had a spot were it could fit. These days plugs come in all shapes and sizes. I plugged my computer tower into the control socket of the power strip then the peripherals in the other; printer, monitor, and speakers. At first I thought the unit was broken because the instructions said that when the power strip stops electricty from going into all the things I have plugged into it; the red light shuts off and all you see is the green light showing the ground and surge protection is ok. Basically, if you see only the green light then the power strip is doing its job. The next day I noticed that the only light on on the power strip was the green light. I got worried on the first day I bought it, but it works like the charm after that first day. What is amazing is the first full month that i've had this power strip is in the savings. To put it in perspective, I bought the energy star bulbs designed for the bathroom (the plump ones not the spiral ones because the spiral bulbs arent made for the bathroom- there are energy star bulbs now available for the bathroom. What I like about the energy star bulbs for the bathroom is that they slowly get bright when you turn them on. Perfect for someone who hates getting up early in the morning and when you flip the switch in the bathroom you get blinded by the light. Not so with the energy star bulbs) and with the power strip attached to my computer; my electric bill dropped $19 for this month. My only minus was the thick plug for my cordless phone charger was too big to attach it to the part of the power strip labeled,"always on." It would block either the control socket or the controlled outlets. Still, the savings can only be said in one word; Outstanding!

You don't want your power strip to eat up power, but you also want assurance that your equipment is safe from harsh power surges. Ideal for computer systems and home entertainment centers, the Smart Strip SCG3 employs a proprietary auto-switching technology that automatically shuts down devices that are not in use, saving you money and reducing your overall energy usage.
The Smart Strip has seven clearly marked outlets that you plug your computer or home entertainment center peripherals into. When you power down computer or stereo, the Smart Strip automatically shuts down the power to your computer's and entertainment's center peripherals. This unique feature not only saves you money and helps the environment, it also makes shutting down your systems fast and easy.
Unlike most power strips, the Smart Strip itself uses very little energy. It uses one watt of power when fully engaged and less than 1/4 of a watt when the automatically switched outlets are off.
Advanced Surge Protection with Superior EMI/RFI Filter
Power strips without EMI/RFI (Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference) run the risk of allowing waves from one electronic device to cause malfunctions or interference in another. The Smart Strip SCG3 protects you from this risk with its advanced EMI/RFI filter, backed up by a 15 AMP circuit breaker. Plus, a passive current sensor ensures an ultra-safe, ultra-clean switching off and on of your peripherals, giving you added peace of mind that your valuable electronics will remain safe.
The possible hazards of power surges are further prevented with 1225-joule surge protection and 48,000 AMP protection, both of which employ a three-way design to give you the ultimate protection for your valuable equipment.
Place for Convenience with Long Cord and 45-Degree Plug
The Smart Strip SCG3's widely spaced, clearly marked outlets give you the space and ease to connect all necessary equipment. The four-way wall mountable design, 45-degree space-saver plug, and heavy-duty six-foot power cord offer the versatility to place the power strip wherever it is most convenient, so it never gets in the way of your footpath or your home décor. A lighted power switch keeps the strip visible, so you're never left fumbling in the dark.
The Smart Strip SCG3 is backed by a full two-year warranty for defects and includes a lifetime $30,000 connected equipment warranty.
