Editorial Reviews:

The Power-Saving SurgeArrest not only safeguards your equipment from damaging power transients, it also helps lower your electric bill. "Master/Controlled" outlets are designed to detect when your computer is asleep where it then automatically powers "off" connected peripherals to prevent wasteful power consumption.

Summary: NY Times "Personal Tech" columnist recommends this!
Comment: In the April 24, 2008 edition of David Pogue's "Personal Tech" column in the NY Times, he says: "I can't recommend the Power-Saving SurgeArrest strongly enough." You can see his article at the following URL (until you can't; that's why I included the date, in case you need to search the NYTimes archives when this link is dead.)

Summary: Works Like A Charm
Comment: I'm a bit lazy - so now whenever I turn off my computer a host of other devices shuts down as well. It's brilliant - a definite energy saver. If you have an iMac, you need to use the menu driven shut down as opposed to just pushing the physical button, if you have an external hard drive attached. Otherwise you'll get some error messages when you start back up saying device was not put away correctly.
I'd like to see more power ports dedicated to doing what the computer does as there are a lot of things that only need to be on when the computer is on - lights, speakers, phone chargers and external hard drive. I used an extension cord to work around this - but it would be nice if all the extra ports were under the control of the master port.

Summary: Good Start. Make sure your peripherals can handle it
Comment: I bought this to reduce energy use. The basic feature is that it shuts down peripherals when the computer is shut down. This works, and is how I use it.
It also has the ability to shut down peripherals when the computer "sleeps." Unfortunately, when I wake the computer, the printer's don't wake up. As this machine computer handles the printer for the house, I can't this feature (would have to come and turn the printer back on all the time).
Now, I can't "sleep" the computer without shutting down everything. Haven't yet done the energy analysis of that...

Summary: Works exactly as described
Comment: I have 2 home-built PC's with MSI motherboards. I am using two of these APC devices. The relay works flawlessly when I shut the pc off, or put it in standby. I've only had the units for a few weeks, so I'm not sure about cost savings, but each PC has multiple electronic devices attached to it (speaker amps, printers, electric staplers, shredders etc)that all shut off when the PC goes down, so I'm expecting a decrease in power usage.

Summary: Do Not Believe The Energy Savings Statement
Comment: This power strip claims to save $25 on average per year but the amount of power the APC strip uses diminishes any of the energy it saves on the peripherals. Therefore, buyers do not see the reduction in their energy bills. I switched over to the Smart Strip by Bits Limited. This draws less than 1 watt when on and close to 0 when off. You can check it yourself with the Killowatt meter as I did.
