Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip LCG4 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology and Fax/Modem Surge Protection
Customer Review: Do NOT use to protect your electronics!
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this about a year ago and it worked well until my apartment building had an actual power surge--then, not so well.
In my apartment, ever electric item that was plugged in and NOT on a powersurge protector was completely fried. My computer equipment, which was on a regular $8 surge protector was fine (although the surge protector was destroyed).
Now, my TV equipment (Wii, stereo, playstation, etc) was not as good and this was on the Smart Strip. Although all appliances were off at the time of the surge, but television still made a popping sound and started to smoke. It is burned out. Most of the other appliances seem okay, but it is hard to check them when your apartment is being rewired and I don't have a TV to check it all. They all turn on, but the DVD player seems to overheat quickly.
If you want to be eco-friendly and save energy, buy a regular powerstrip and just turn it off when you aren't using it. At least you won't have to put all your equipment in a landfill when your electricity has a freak problem!

Last night I hooked up my home theatre and laptop with this strip. It worked great. I read review people had hard time in setting adjustment. But for me it was just one turn and everything works fine as expected. I connected my TV in control outlet and rest (Receiver, subwoofer and PC)in switched outlets. Turn off TV turns off every switched outlet device.

Shuts off all the machines I don't need when I turn my PC off. Don't need to turn them all of individually.Customer Review: Excellent Product

Works as the description of the product. Good product - Can save you some money on the power bill. One thing to remember is that all the power cut off are like hard shutdowns. You might not want them for your appliances like DVD player.Customer Review: Good Product

I have two installed. One at the computer and a second running off the tv. Both have worked just as advertised, set-up took seconds.
Layout is nice and unit feels well constructed. Very pleased with the purchase and would recommend to anyone with game systems, home theaters, Sat/cable boxes that only need to be powered when watching the screen.... (Also has unswitched outlets for DVRs and handheld device chargers etc...)
