Review on Bits Limited Energy Saving Surge Protector with Autoswitching Technology, 10-Outlet LCG-3MVR by Cesar Carter

You buy it for the same price as any other surge protector, but it has the added benefit of turning off devices that shouldn't always be on (vampire loads). You save money as soon as you use it! I have three at home. All over 5 years old and had no problems. The biggest benefit is turning off one device (TV or computer) as well as everyone else. That simplifies life enormously. A smartband connects to the TV and disables the receiver, old CD changer, Blu-ray player and active subwoofer. My favorite is the one on the computer; I either turn off the computer or put it to sleep, it turns off the display, sound system, and scanner. The one in my kid's room controls the TV and turns off his PS4 and Roku. I no longer have to worry about him accidentally leaving my PS4 or Roku on! As I said, the biggest benefit is to make my life easier. Saving energy is just an additional benefit, but dependent on the number and size of your vampire charges; You save money as soon as you use it. Remember you get it mainly for the SURGE PROTECTION! Why not take one that can do other things too?
