 Rating:  - Waste of moneyI bought two of these and they worked marginally for a few weeks and they both stopped sensing. I did try to adjust them over and over; maybe that's why they quit working. I still could use a power switch strip but these are not worth the time, I did try to get some action on replacement or repair and never received and answer. And now I see them offered on Amazon, it must be Karma! Stay away from these. Rating:  - Great power saverThis power strip is excellent. It allows me to leave everything else on and when I turn off my computer, the monitor and speakers shut off automatically without me having to hit a power switch. That seems a bit lazy, but Windows computer take so long to shut down some times that I don't want to stand there and wait for it to shut down. This eliminates that need. Well worth it. Rating:  - Economical Power StripI can't say I notice any difference in my power bill, but I feel better knowing that when a main item, like a TV is turned off, the attatched DVD player and VCR are also off. Same with my computer. When that is off, so is the printer, scanner, other printer, modem etc. So, I feel good that I own this and I think it is priced reasonably. I'd buy more if I had a need for them. I would give this as a gift to anyone that I knew would appreciate being "greener" Rating: - can't get to work with iMac energy saving settingsI was excited to try the Smart Strip product, and it works as advertised as long as I manually turn off my main device (iMac). Unfortunately, it's not nearly as useful as I had hoped since it doesn't properly detect when my iMac puts itself to sleep and then turn off the power. I've tried adjusting the potentiometer in case it's a matter of the Smart Strip's setting, but the result is the same. Rating: - Smart strip pretty touchyIt took several tries to "train" the smart strip to affect my speakers, my monitor, and my printer at the same time. In addition, after you use the primary outlet for the computer, and two of the "constant" outlets, you really only have 4 outlets for peripherals, which was somewhat fewer than I was expecting. Maybe I just need to read the description, though. Browse for similar items by category:
