Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip LCG3 Energy Saving Surge Protector with Autoswitching Technology, 10-Outlet
Customer Review: Every bit helps
Summary: 4 Stars
I have been using the Smart Strip for about 6 months now. I was given the unit by the inventor. He told me that although it is manufactured in China (like so much else we buy) he had personally inspected the factory and was confident that the working conditions and environmental safety standards were good.
I have connected my PC, external hard drive, 2 monitors, speakers, USB hub and camera dock to the Smart Strip. Everything shuts down smoothly. The only peripheral that does not automatically come back on when I turn on my PC is the external hard drive, but I feel that is a small penalty to pay for the savings on both power and heat-generation from the vampire devices. For my remaining bank of device chargers - for phone, ipod, headset etc. - I have them on a power strip that I can easily reach to turn off when nothing is connected. With a small bit of reorganization of your devices, you can make a great difference to your energy consumption. A great idea.
Customer Review: Everyone should have one... or three.

This product works exactly as billed right out of the box. When my iMac "goes to sleep" it shuts down my external hard drives and when I go back to work the hard drives come back up. With the WiFi airport plugged into the non-switched receptacle it always is up for my iPad and Apple TV.Customer Review: Excellent Deal

I purchased a couple of these in order to save money on my electric bill and make it easier to manage my electronics. I found the power strip very easy to use and so far ahs worked very well. I have one for my PC where I plugged in my PC as the control with the periperals that I only need when the PC is on plugged into the control plugs. Now when I power down my PC, the monitor, speakers, label printer, etc... automatically power down as well. I used the always on plugs for things like the wireless printer that need to always stay on.
Same thing with the second strip and my living room TV. The sorround sound, sub woofer, playstatation, etc not turns off when I turn off the TV but I left the cable box on an always on plug since it has a very long startup time.
Great product.
Customer Review: GREAT SAVER!
