Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: Defective
Summary: 2 Stars
Product was defective. My TV was unable to control the autoswitched outlets or other devices. My lamp was able to control only the indicator light for the autoswitched outlets, but apparently not the outlets themselves as my TV and XBox were not being turned back on. It took their customer service about 4 days to return my call even though the receptionist initially advised me that they would be in touch "shortly". I give them 1 star for bad quality control and poor customer service, plus 1 star for the possibility that a replacement item would have worked.Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 3 Stars
Does not work with Sony STR-DH510 rcv'r/amp as controlling device. Had to use my Sony TV as control, which in my setup is less than ideal, but I'll live with it.Customer Review: Does exactly what is needed
Summary: 4 Stars
The home theater setup is complex. Audio runs through the amplifier. There is a powered sub. We have a Wii, a TV, a computer and a DVD player.
They don't all need to be plugged in all the time. Basically, nothing needs to be on unless the stereo is on.
So we got this. Now, when the stereo turns on, power becomes available for the TV, Subwoofer, Wii, DVD player.
It makes me happy every time we turn off the stereo and about five seconds later, get to hear the subwoofer turn off.
Customer Review: Does what it says

Summary: 5 Stars
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.
