Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: Just Works!
Summary: 5 Stars
Setup was incredibly easy, just adjust the dial. It took less than 30 seconds. Now I'm able to turn off the Wii and Stereo when the TV is off, which will save enough electricity to pay for the Smart Strip in about 9 months.Customer Review: Just as advertised.
Summary: 5 Stars
Works exactly as described. When I turn off the TV, the sound system, DVD player, etc. all go off as well. I have the satellite box plugged into one of the "always on" outlets so that I don't have to wait for it to come up again. When I left for a couple of weeks at Christmas time, I simply hit the master switch and turned everything off.Customer Review: Large but Easily Setup
Summary: 5 Stars
The smart strip is larger than I expected, but that is understandable with all the technology that is contained in this strip. It was very easy to setup and I just used another powerstrip plugged into one of the controlled outlets instead of buying the version of the smart strip that has more outlets. I wasn't able to get it to work with my AT&T U-Verse DVR, but just set it up to use my TV as the controller instead. I think I am going to buy these as Christmas gifts for family this year.Customer Review: Mac Mini, Laptop Users and Smart Strips

Note to Mac Mini users
Notice from the bitsltd website:
All Mac Mini and Dell 800 Series Laptop Owners!
Please order only 3rd Generation Smart Strip Models as Mac Mini and Dell 800 series laptops tend to have very irregular power consumption traits that are incompatible with our standard Smart Strips.
What can I use the Smart strip on?
The Smart strip can be used to save energy on Computers, TVs, & Home entertainment systems. they can automate lights & vacuums on your shop equipment. They do not save energy on phones, washers, dryers & Kitchen appliances.
I read a review elsewhere by R. Gressick who did use a laptop computer as the switching device by adjusting the knob on the side of the Smart Strip until the other devices switched off.
I have not bought or used the Smart Strip yet.
Customer Review: My Smart Strip
Summary: 5 Stars
I wanted a protective power strip for my new LED TV. When I saw that the Smart Strip also provided an energy saving feature I knew that I wanted to have one for my application. I have not noticed any savings in power costs, however I only use this one and I haven't had it that long. Excellent product, well thought out design, and it works just as advertised.
