Tools and Hardware Reviews of Smart Strip SCG3 Energy Saving Power Strip with Autoswitching Technology
Customer Review: Works Great !
Summary: 5 Stars
Worked straight out of the box on my new PC - It now powers down the PC monitor which used to flash a blue LED even when the PC was powered down ! In addition it allows the PC to "wake-up" from Windows Vista sleep state simply by tapping on of the keys on my PC i.e. it still maintains power to the master device.
My only disappointment is the price. It seems quite expensive, but there seems to be little competition for it at the moment
Overall - Happy to recommend this product
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: Worked Perfectly for Me
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a setup where the main device is a desktop computer and the controlled devices are a monitor, speakers, and a lamp. I plugged them all in and it just worked.
Reading other reviews, I thought I would have to fiddle around to get it to work the way I wanted, but luckily that was not the case.
I would have like to purchase the black strip, but I guess that's more of a seller thing.
Anyway, worked well right out of the box for me.
Customer Review: Great product, does what it says
Summary: 5 Stars
I tried the Belkin Conserve Smart Belkin Conserve Smart AV F7C007q Energy-Saving Power Strip which would not trigger when my Pioneer amplifier was turned off (standby). I purchased the Smart Strip and gave the adjustment screw a quarter turn counter clockwise and I am now in business. Great product. I will never buy one of these unless it has an adjustment screw.Customer Review: This thing works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I use this in my home theater setup, using the receiver as the master component. All other components except the TV are plugged into the switched outlets, including the BluRay player. The switched outlet speeds up the player's boot time because I can set the player to quick-start mode, but still save energy when the system is off.
The smart strip uses no power when it's off, but needs about a watt of power when it's on. Highly recommended.
