Customer Reviews:
Customer Rating: Summary: Smart Strip Comment: This product is easy to use and convenient. I no longer have to remember- or worse yet have my husband remember to turn off the entertainment center. It's automatic. I have not yet received my electric bill so I can't compare the savings. I am sure it's working though. Customer Rating: Summary: Drives a stake thru Vampire Power Comment: I bought this product to save electricity in my media center. The product works as advertised. I have my TV plugged into the control outlet. I plugged my DirecTV PVR into the "always on" outlet. I have my game console, amplifier/receiver and DVD player plugged into the controlled outlets. When I turn off the TV, the game controller, Amp, and DVD player are disconnected from power. This ends the slow bleed of electricity that these devices use. Customer Rating: Summary: Power saving strips Comment: 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 Rating: Summary: Works as advertised Comment: 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 Rating: Summary: Works Great ! Comment: 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
