DefectiveOctober 3, 2008 Product was defective. My TV was unable to control the autoswitched outlets or other devices. My lamp was able to control only the indicator light for the autoswitched outlets, but apparently not the outlets themselves as my TV and XBox were not being turned back on. It took their customer service about 4 days to return my call even though the receptionist initially advised me that they would be in touch "shortly". I give them 1 star for bad quality control and poor customer service, plus 1 star for the possibility that a replacement item would have worked.
Works so well I bought 2 more!September 23, 2008 I own two of the 7 plug smart strips after buying and loving the 10 plug model for my home entertainment cord mess :) I couldn't recommend this more to anyone who wants to be energy-conscious but lives with other people who have trouble remembering to turn things off. I'm sure my roommate appreciates me not bugging him to unplug his power-guzzling transformer for his pc speakers!

This product is easy to use and convenient. I no longer have to remember- or worse yet have my husband remember to turn off the entertainment center. It's automatic. I have not yet received my electric bill so I can't compare the savings. I am sure it's working though.
Drives a stake thru Vampire PowerJuly 24, 2008 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this product to save electricity in my media center. The product works as advertised. I have my TV plugged into the control outlet. I plugged my DirecTV PVR into the "always on" outlet. I have my game console, amplifier/receiver and DVD player plugged into the controlled outlets. When I turn off the TV, the game controller, Amp, and DVD player are disconnected from power. This ends the slow bleed of electricity that these devices use.
Power saving stripsJuly 16, 2008 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!!!
