Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG4 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology and Fax/Modem Surge Protection
Customer Review: Great energy saver!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this power strip for a year. It works as advertised for me--none of the problems experienced by other reviewers. It reliably shuts down all power to selected items plugged into it when the main item is turned off. In my case, it shuts down my speakers, external hard drives, printer, etc when my computer is off, but leaves on my DSL modem and wireless router for my wife to use. It works for me as advertised--I shut down my PC and all of my external peripherals (monitor, hard drives) power down.Customer Review: Good idea, doesn't work
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought this looking to save a little power when my computer isn't on. It's designed to sense when the computer is on and shut off power to everything else to save the "standby power" Unfortunately, product doesn't work as advertised and the company has so far failed on their thirty-day money-back guarantee.
In theory, this product is a good idea - and if it worked I would have no complaints. But it doesn't.
Customer Review: Power strip
Summary: 1 Stars
I ordered this product thinking I would be saving money. Some electronics need to be kept on to operate. For instance if you have a DVR you cant turn it off due to recordings occurring while not watching. Its very sensitive about turning off all things plugged into it, I had to adjust it several times and it still doesnt operate as promised. For all this money and Im still leaving things on, where is the savings?Customer Review: Good way to save some money!
Summary: 5 Stars
This item is great! I'm not sure why there are some negative reviews, but I have nothing but good things to say about this product. It easily turns off all devices when the "master" outlet is turned off and it also eliminates devices drawing standby power. Plus it does everything a normal surge protector does for pretty much the same price. This item will pay for itself by lowering your energy bill.Customer Review: Short life, too sensitive
Summary: 1 Stars
Smart Strip SCG4 failed after a short while. When it switched on it would just buzz. Also, before it failed it was nearly impossible to set the adjustment so that it would switch on and off when I turned on/off the laptop connected to the control outlet. With the short life of the product, I'm sure I never saved the cost of the outlet strip in electricity savings.
