Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: Fantastic Product for energy and/or cost conscious consumers
Summary: 5 Stars
These smart strips are very easy to use. I purchased one to use with our entertainment center. I have our amp plugged in as the control, the cable box on the bypass, and everything else (DVD player, TV, Wii) plugged into the auto-switched outlets, and it works great! Just turn on the amp and everything else pops on as well. Adding this to our entertainment center saved us $12 last month on our electric bill.Customer Review: Finicky

The strip worked with two of my electrical set-ups and did not work with two others. It didn't like my laptop as the main device or my Energy Star TV. For the laptop, I did followed the adjustment instructions and it seemed to be working fine, but then just stopped working properly. I move the strip to a set-up with our flat screen TV and it worked fine. For the Energy Star TV, when I adjusted it so it would turn everything off, I couldn't turn my TV back on again. Only worth the money if you love hours trouble shooting. I'm going back to using a regular power strip and just turning it off myself when I'm not using it.Customer Review: Gets those who wouldn't participate in energy reduction to participate w/the push of a button!
Summary: 4 Stars
I wasn't too sure about this when I bought it online but after fiddling with it at home it has been a breeze to use. Also, the rest of my family who normally wouldn't participate in this type of energy savings now participates just by shutting off the tv at night!
I would repurchase again.
Customer Review: Good product, but nothing amazing.

This item, sadly, is incompatible with my Dell laptop. Check with the manufacturer before buying is you use a Dell lapttop, it is also incompatible with my son's.
