3 out of 5 stars Not so smart strip   December 3, 2008
Cathy Hall
The concept is great and when used on standard electronics, it seems to work well. However, I used one for my PC with two monitors and a desk light. The idea was when I turned on the computer the second monitor and light would also come on (and vice versa). However, I get this cyclying of on-and-off for second monitor and light. I have "adjusted" the strip several times but to no avail. It is really annoying. It also defeats the purpose if I plug the second monitor and lamp into the non-controlled outlets.


5 out of 5 stars Works as advertised   November 30, 2008

I've purchased two of these now. They both work as advertised, shutting down peripheral equipment when the main unit is switched off. Works with computer systems and entertainment systems with no problems.


5 out of 5 stars Better than expected!!   November 16, 2008

My computer is plugged into the control outlet. When I standby computer all those little power suckers, modem, cordless phone, printer, battery charger, speakers, etc. are turned off. Simple and effective. I don't know if it will ever pay for itself in energy savings, but it already has in good feelings. You need one of these.


3 out of 5 stars Works fine but not with Directv H20 as controller   November 7, 2008

Works as advertised, nice spacing of outlets, and saves money. The only glitch for me was that my Directv hd receiver (not the DVR version) wouldn't work as the controlling outlet. I guess the power draw of that device is about the same whether its on or off, so no amount of adjustment would work.


5 out of 5 stars Works like a charm!   October 29, 2008

The Smart Strip is worth every penny! I bought two, one for the TV and components and one for the computer and components. There is little setup involved, only real decision is figuring out which unit to make the switching outlet; in my case it was the TV and computer. When the TV or computer is turned on, the autoswitching turns on the other components. This is the best part of the Smart Strip; simple and easy. These units have worked very well. The Smart Strip can be seen working with the indicator lights of whether the strip is operating and whether the switched outlets are operating. Great product while saving you money!
