Editorial Reviews
From the Manufacturer
Ten outlets work together, autoswitching your devices on/off automatically, to save you money on your electric bills. 2875 joules of surge protection keep your equipment safe from even the harshest power spikes. Conveniently-spaced outlets and a 45-degree, angled space saver plug make the Smart Strip a friendly addition to your electronic systems.
Customer Reviews
Smart Strip
This is a great gadget and worth the money. It eliminates the 'mistake' of leaving appliances/computers/entertainment centers "on". Even when you power down, these devices are sucking energy. Now, it's all automatic. I have 2 and I absolutely love them!
Smart Strip: Smart Idea, but Mac Mini is smarter
The Smart Strip worked great. It is well laid out, supports surge protection and has wall wart spacing on some of the outlets. But it doesn't work with the surprising Mac Mini. Did you know that the Mac Mini only uses 4 Watts when it is idle? I had no idea. The Smart Strip can't resolve 4 Watts, so it won't work with the Mac Mini, but it works fine with my HP Laptop. To be fair, the Laptop has an LCD screen, but it burns more than four Watts no matter what. The display for the Mac, a Dell FP2005W, uses about 45 Watts.
I can use the Smart Strip with the laptop or the display and it works flawlessly.
Kudos to the Apple crew for saving a lot of energy with the design of the Mac Mini. Kudos to Smart Strip people for designing a peripheral that helps me save power on the less well designed peripherals. Now, Smart Strip, please make that adjustment circuit capable of handling a Mac Mini and you'll have a great product.
Works Well
I currently use this with my computer system that serves as a multimedia studio. With two LCDs and scanner being saved from drawing 24/7 I expect this surge protector to pay for itself in due time. The rated EMI filtration on the unit is also very good.
