Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: Partial succes
Summary: 4 Stars
I purchased 2 Power Strip devices. One is used with my Sony desktop computer to shut down the monitor and powered subwoofer. This works perfectly after some adjustment. The other power strip is used for my TV to shut down my DVD, VCR and Wii when not used. This does not consistently shut down or start-up the devices properly. I'm still adjusting and it either shuts down and won't restart or vice versa.Customer Review: Power saving strips
Summary: 5 Stars
Energy is expensive. A power strip like this can help you not only save money but save the environment. I added one to my entertainment system. ow my always on powered speakers only come on when the amplifier does. These strips are wonderful ad the company's customer support people are outstanding.
Check the company site if you are planning to use this strip with a low power computer such as a Macintosh Mini. The version Amazon carries isn't sensitive enough to work with that computer. However, the company sells one that is sensitive enough and it also works like a charm.
I hate to think how much power I wasted in the past running power bricks and powered speakers when I wasn't using them for weeks and weeks. I love these strips!!!
Customer Review: Save energy & money

I bought two Smart Strips and had a problem with one of them because of the device I had plugged into the control outlet. Support people are great, took a week or so to figure out what was happening but they did and are going to send me a new unit which corrects the problem.Customer Review: Simple, easy to use, saves money
Summary: 5 Stars
With my Kill-A-Watt, I discovered that my computer speakers use 15W even when they're not being used. I now have my monitor and speakers plugged into the Smart Strip, and have confirmed (with the Kill-A-Watt) that I'm saving some energy, and the Smart Strip will pay for itself in 7 months.
Also note that there are lots of models of Smart Strips. The "L" models are large (10); the "S" models are small (7). The "3" models are the simplest ones; the "4" models have a phone/fax/modem port; the "5" models have both a coax (tv) and phone/fax/modem port.
Customer Review: Slowly going Green..

This power strip is all that they say it is. With all the electronics that are in our homes today, it really pays to have our TVs and computers plugged into a few of these strips. They will pay for themselves in no time. Highly recommended.
