 Works as advertised June 25, 2008

Recently purchased for my home laptop setup to control power to external HDD, speakers, etc. Works great - I no longer have to remember to shut down the power strip when I shut down the computer. Purchased 2 more for other computers in the house.
Works Great ! June 24, 2008
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
Great for our HD TV etc. May 29, 2008

My husband was told by a big-box electronic retailer that he needed to purchase a $150 surge protector in order to get the best clarity for his new flat screen HD TV.
I wanted to see if that salesman was right and purchased this protector to plug in the TV, speakers, DVD player, Wii etc.
Well, not only does it work like a charm but the clarity of the TV is perfect! He loves being able to simply press On/Off on the TV and know that everything else will do the same. One button- so simple! Saves us electricity (i.e $$) and reduces our carbon footprint. Fabulous!
 Great Concept April 13, 2008

This item, sadly, is incompatible with my Dell laptop. Check with the manufacturer before buying is you use a Dell lapttop, it is also incompatible with my son's.
A REAL Simple Energy Saving Tool April 2, 2008

If you want something to help you save a few buck on your energy bill while also prolonging the life of Equipment, this is the tool for you.
I had an idea what this SmartStrip could do but i really wanted to see it for myself. This guy is as simple as it sounds and just as convient.
You have 1 outlet that you plug your switching device in. The switching device is the device that when you turn on or off turns everything else on or off. You also have 2 Always ON outlets (for DVR boxes or Broadband Modem, etc). And 4 "Controlled" outlets, 1 of which is an extra wide one. Now, the 1 outlet for the switching device is an Always ON outlet.
There is a little knob on the side for helping you tweek the switching setting that power off everything else when you put the main device into a low power state or off. Because some things draw power even when turned off so you may need to tweek it.
I bought this to try it out at work. If you want something to definitely help at home or at the office, this is perfect. At work, i had my Laptop at the switching port. I plugged the Monitor, the Speakers, the Desk Lamp, my cell chargers, any and all accessories into the controlled ports. I tweeked the knob on the side so that when I put my laptop into Standby, that it will also shut off everything else as well. To tweek it, you must put the computer into Standby mode and adjusted the knob until all the devices turn off.
This is great because the moment i shutdown the computer at night, it turns everything off and i don't have to forget about turning anything off. All that littles of electricity its saving is great.
You could easily use it at home. You can have it setup where your TV is the switch, your DVR is in the Always ON, your DVD, VCR, Game Consoles, Stereo, Home Theater, etc are all plugged into the Controlled Ports, So that the moment you turn the TV off, everything else turns off. No more nagging the kids to make sure they turned everything else, no need to round through remotes to make sure everything else is off.
The price is right as well, you are going to pay about the same price for something that also does about the same amount of Surge Protection, so why not get something that will save you in long running cost as well. It could pay for itself in the first year alone.
