Really cool power strip

I use them on all computers. They are a switchable power supply: when you turn off your computer, it automatically disconnects the monitor's power connector. When you turn on your computer, it automatically turns on the monitor port. Very convenient and efficient. Even works with laptops with external monitors.

Pros
  • Good workmanship
Cons
  • No

Meets my requirement

This power supply is used for my power tools with the dust bag attached. This saves me having to turn on the power tool and then the dust collector. sometimes I forget to do it. The only downside is the delay of a few seconds from turning on the power tool and starting the dust collector.

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • I won't say anything

Designed to be plugged into a double socket

This works as advertised and turns off the auxiliary devices a few seconds after the main unit has been turned off. Please note that the package does not include a power cord; instead it is designed for two sockets. I connected a short 3 wire extension cord to mine and it works fine too. Even though it's in a different room, my amateur radio activity (radio frequency output up to 700 watts) turned it on at times. A pair of ferrite filters on the input and output should solve this RFI problem.

Pros
  • Free for educational use
Cons
  • Not sure

Won't turn off my TV

I got this because of the two functions it has. 1 as a filter 2 as automatically turning off the TV screen when I turn off my computer. I don't know if the filtering works, but my TV doesn't turn off when I turn off the computer even though I have the switch set to 18W and 36W. I can only turn off my TV when I turn off my computer. which I had nothing to do with the other brand I had. oh and also comes in a plastic bag and with no protection. Except for a small piece of cardboard just to…

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Almost never

Great power strips and surge protector

I have this to turn off my Roku Stick when my TV is off. The problem was that streaming services kept playing on Roku even when the TV was off. This works exactly as expected. The TV plugs into the outlet and when it's turned off (manually or by the sleep timer) it also stops Roku playback.

Pros
  • Handy item
Cons
  • So far so good

Works as advertised

I use this to turn on a power amp that doesn't have a 12 volt trigger. I set it to turn on when the receiver is on. It works exactly as advertised. It's also surge protection. I would recommend this product to anyone who needs to turn on one device when another device is also on.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
