Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip LCG3 Energy Saving Surge Protector with Autoswitching Technology, 10-Outlet
Customer Review: Better than expected!
Summary: 5 Stars
We bought this to use with our entertainment system and were shocked when we got our electric bill a month later- it was down $15! Each month we are saving $ and within 2 months had already made the cost of the strip back. We plugged in our HDTV to the control unit outlet, the cable box & wireless router in the outlets that stay on all the time, and then we have our Wii, Xbox, blu ray player, network storage device & printer plugged into the other outlets that are controlled by the TV. People who have video game systems will especially find these smart strips to work well and save lots of $ when they aren't in use. I've convinced everyone in my family to buy one- we are that impressed!Customer Review: auto switching power strip performs flawlessly
Summary: 5 Stars
Purchased this device to power up some auxillary fans I installed in an entertainment center to keep my receiver cool. Because I did not have a switched port on the back of the receiver I was in a bit of a bind. This device works as advertised and performs flawlessly. I plug my fans (transformer into on of the switched outlets and my receiver into the controller outlet. Whenever I turn my stereo on, the power strip automatically turns on my fans (and visa versa when I power down my receiver). It has multiple switched outlets to use for other devices such as a gaming unit etc. I had to make zero adjustments and it worked right out of the box. Very simple!!Customer Review: Works like a charm!

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!Customer Review: Works very well
Summary: 5 Stars
I have one for my TV and another for my computer. Easy to set up. There is a master outlet that controls a series of switched outlets. So, for example if my computer is in the master outlet and is on, the printers, scanner, extra monitors plugged into the switched outlets become live. Once I shut down my computer, all those peripherals turn off. What could be easier than that to reduce trickle energy usage? There are also 3 "always on" outlets that you can use to bypass the master outlet. So on the TV, you can plug in your DVR into the live outlet so even if TV is off, the DVR remains on to do your recordings.
Customer Review: A surge protector that pays for itself?
Summary: 5 Stars
I set up (follow the directions--simple, but must be done right) and used this item for only a day but so far it could be my best, wisest purchase. Everything attached to my PC and Mac that is not needed when my host computer shuts down--is automatically turned off with it. All those transformers and blinking lights are off till needed. Only regret: I did not know of this product sooner and already purchased standard surge protectors for the rest of the house. Time will tell...but we like it so much already! If all goes well, this product will replace all other surge protectors.
