Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip LCG3 Energy Saving Surge Protector with Autoswitching Technology, 10-Outlet
Customer Review: A step up from a surge protector
Summary: 5 Stars
Those of you who have used those old surge protectors that sat under your monitors to 'control' the on/off power to your monitor, printer, ext. modems, etc... listen up, this product is a step up. After plugging in the computer and its peripherals and after a little bit of tweaking the sensitivity control, powering the peripherals is a snap ! Expensive product, but counting all the times I left any one of my peripherals on for a extended period, it should eventually pay for itself.Customer Review: A surge protector that pays for itself?
Summary: 5 Stars
I set up (follow the directions--simple, but must be done right) and used this item for only a day but so far it could be my best, wisest purchase. Everything attached to my PC and Mac that is not needed when my host computer shuts down--is automatically turned off with it. All those transformers and blinking lights are off till needed. Only regret: I did not know of this product sooner and already purchased standard surge protectors for the rest of the house. Time will tell...but we like it so much already! If all goes well, this product will replace all other surge protectors.Customer Review: Adjustment hasn't worked
Summary: 1 Stars
The power strip has a screw on the side of it that is supposed to allow you to dial in the sensitivity of the 'shut everything' feature...that has never worked for our strip. I would not recommend this strip...which for what it has ended up being is greatly overpriced.Customer Review: Another "worked briefly, then broke" story
Summary: 1 Stars
We get squeezed like a bar rag every month by SDG&E in San Diego, so I bought this going to the ends of the earth trying to bring down triple-digit electricity bills. It worked OK for a couple of months, then suddenly it wouldn't power off devices anymore no matter how I tweaked the sensitivity. After reading more recent reviews here--it looks like people having problems with this device are streaming in.
I wouldn't buy this--obviously it's totally unreliable and $30+ down the drain.
Customer Review: Another unfortunate case
Summary: 2 Stars
Add me to the list of people who now just have a regular surge protector. This product worked great while it worked. Three weeks after I purchased it (and three weeks of it working perfectly) it suddenly started messing up. At first, it would take time to shut off the switched outlets. After two days of that, it just quit shutting off the switched outlets completely.
Nothing happened when adjusting the sensitivity knob. The switched outlets do reset if you turn the device off then back on, but that kind of defeats the purpose of having any always-on plugs. I just processed the return and will be sending this product back tomorrow. I cannot recommend this product at this time. The lucky thing is that it had the decency to quit working while I was still in Amazon's return window.
