Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: Power saving strips
Summary: 5 Stars
Energy is expensive. A power strip like this can help you not only save money but save the environment. I added one to my entertainment system. ow my always on powered speakers only come on when the amplifier does. These strips are wonderful ad the company's customer support people are outstanding.
Check the company site if you are planning to use this strip with a low power computer such as a Macintosh Mini. The version Amazon carries isn't sensitive enough to work with that computer. However, the company sells one that is sensitive enough and it also works like a charm.
I hate to think how much power I wasted in the past running power bricks and powered speakers when I wasn't using them for weeks and weeks. I love these strips!!!
Customer Review: Works as advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
Recently purchased for my home laptop setup to control power to external HDD, speakers, etc. Works great - I no longer have to remember to shut down the power strip when I shut down the computer. Purchased 2 more for other computers in the house.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: Great for our HD TV etc.
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband was told by a big-box electronic retailer that he needed to purchase a $150 surge protector in order to get the best clarity for his new flat screen HD TV.
I wanted to see if that salesman was right and purchased this protector to plug in the TV, speakers, DVD player, Wii etc.
Well, not only does it work like a charm but the clarity of the TV is perfect! He loves being able to simply press On/Off on the TV and know that everything else will do the same. One button- so simple! Saves us electricity (i.e $$) and reduces our carbon footprint. Fabulous!
Customer Review: Great Concept

This item, sadly, is incompatible with my Dell laptop. Check with the manufacturer before buying is you use a Dell lapttop, it is also incompatible with my son's.
