Customer Reviews

Not happy with this one
Sorry to report we threw this unit out three months after installation. It was connected to our computer and worked fine until one day it would not turn on despite all efforts. We removed, reset, plugged elswhere it just died. It wasn't worth the time and expense to repackage, bring to P.O. and be without a circuit breaker for an expensive computor.

Works Great
This power strip does what it says it does - it helps save some electricty while keeping your equipment going. It was very easy to set up and use (and I am not that good with thos kind of things) and it is a good way to help save some money and the environment. Nice job.

Solid product, even more solid company. Caveats for iMac/Laptop owners.
I had to make an exchange for a "generation 3" model, in order to get it work with an iMac. After that, it's great. The company Bits LTD really stands behind this product.

Thus, all my little warm transformers for speakers, docks, hubs and other accessories are a thing of the past. This power strip auto-senses when the computer sleeps, and turns other stuff off also. This auto-detection is both the strip's greatest strength, and the greatest weakness. You may have to tune the device to get the switching to work right.

Mac users: Mac OS X has various weaknesses that can prevent automatic sleeping... you may have to upgrade certain printer drivers or fiddle with mystery reasons for lack of sleeping.

PC users: your PC has several sleep modes, most notably "S1" and "S3". Many PC's come set to S1, which results in very little power savings in sleep mode (so little your power strip might not activate). Switch it in the BIOS to ACPI mode S3 for much better savings. Google "S3 Standby Done Right".
