Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: I have 4 of these and they all work great
Summary: 5 Stars
These power strips are wonderful - I have them on all my computers plus 2 seperate entertainment centers - what an easy way to save electricity without any extra effort - I have the entertainment center ones set so that when I turn off the tv it also turns off the stereo and game consoles attached to that tv - I put the dvr's on the constant on plug. On the pc's I have it set to cut power to monitors and speakers when the pc shuts down. All work great and were super easy to adjust sensitivity. Sometimes being "green" can be easy!Customer Review: A great money-saving product
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased 2 of these Smart Strips a year ago and saw an immediate, noticable reduction in my energy bills. I plugged one into a plasma TV, DVD, VCR, Cable box set up and plugged another into an elliptical trainer with additional media connections. I figure that my Smart Strip paid for itself within 2-3 months.
Honestly, my biggest issue with this product is that it isn't carried everywhere! Why aren't all power strips cabable of truly turning off attached appliances?
I highly recommend this product.
Customer Review: Does exactly what is needed
Summary: 4 Stars
The home theater setup is complex. Audio runs through the amplifier. There is a powered sub. We have a Wii, a TV, a computer and a DVD player.
They don't all need to be plugged in all the time. Basically, nothing needs to be on unless the stereo is on.
So we got this. Now, when the stereo turns on, power becomes available for the TV, Subwoofer, Wii, DVD player.
It makes me happy every time we turn off the stereo and about five seconds later, get to hear the subwoofer turn off.
Customer Review: Works Great !
Summary: 5 Stars
Worked straight out of the box on my new PC - It now powers down the PC monitor which used to flash a blue LED even when the PC was powered down ! In addition it allows the PC to "wake-up" from Windows Vista sleep state simply by tapping on of the keys on my PC i.e. it still maintains power to the master device.
My only disappointment is the price. It seems quite expensive, but there seems to be little competition for it at the moment
Overall - Happy to recommend this product
Customer Review: Large but Easily Setup
Summary: 5 Stars
The smart strip is larger than I expected, but that is understandable with all the technology that is contained in this strip. It was very easy to setup and I just used another powerstrip plugged into one of the controlled outlets instead of buying the version of the smart strip that has more outlets. I wasn't able to get it to work with my AT&T U-Verse DVR, but just set it up to use my TV as the controller instead. I think I am going to buy these as Christmas gifts for family this year.
