Product Description

Surge,PRT,10OT,1800J

From the Manufacturer

The Belkin Conserve Switch AV Surge Protector with Remote lets you control power to your whole entertainment system with a single click. The wireless remote switch makes it easy to shut off power--including standby power--to up to eight devices at once, such as your TV, DVD player, gaming console, and more. Two Always-On Outlets stay on for devices that need continuous power, like your DVR or cable/satellite box. Place the remote on a desk or shelf, or use the included wall mount.

Save Energy with a Single Click
A typical household spends an average of $75 per year by leaving entertainment system devices on but not in use. The Conserve Switch AV Surge Protector helps to eliminate wasted power and to keep your electronics well-organized and protected. The included wireless remote has a 60-foot range and does not require a line of sight to the surge protector.

10 Versatile Surge-Protected Outlets
The Conserve Switch AV offers a total of ten surge-protected outlets, eight of which are switchable and two that are always on. This means that you can connect up to eight devices that can be controlled by the remote and two devices that will always stay on. The Always-On Outlets are useful for devices that require a constant flow of energy, such as DVRs or cable/satellite boxes.

Smart Space-Saving Design
The Conserve Switch AV has a slim design that saves space. A sliding safety cover on every outlet provides added protection, and a cable management system keeps cords neat and organized.

For easy operation, the Conserve Switch AV features a re-settable circuit breaker, a "not grounded" light to indicate when a ground is not present, and a manual override button to control switched outlets. It also protects sensitive electronics from power spikes or surges with 1000 joules of surge protection.

Save Even More with Conserve
For greater convenience and energy savings, you can place additional Conserve Switch AV units throughout the house and control them all with a single remote.

The Conserve Switch AV Surge Protector is backed by a limited one-year warranty and $100,000 connected equipment warranty.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Energy Conservation -- Bonus: You can control multiple strips with single remote
    Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    THE BASICS
    Great "green" upgrade to manually switch off a group of items to eliminate vampire draw (e.g., power adapters for hard drives, chargers, and peripherals). This model includes 8 switched outlets, and 2 "always on" outlets. Each outlet has a cover slides over the outlet holes for child safety and to keep out the dust.

    A small on/off switch is located on the power strip in the event your remote battery goes out, your remote goes missing, or you find yourself under your desk and want to turn the outlets on or off.

    THE SWITCH
    The remote switch includes an adhesive frame that lets you mount it on a wall or desk. A bit of force is required to turn on or off (a good thing so you don't accidentally power down in the middle of something because you bumped the switch).

    Note that you CAN purchase multiple power strips and control them with a single remove switch -- a set of dip-switches on the back of the power strip lets you set it to respond to a particular remote. Another bonus if you'd like to shut down a lot of items with a single switch.

    On the other hand, you can have several of these in your home, and control each with a separate switch since you can also set them to respond to a specific switch.

    All-in-all, a good product for the price.

    Note: My initial unit stopped working within the first week -- all outlets remained powered even which switched into the off position. Amazon quickly replaced, and the replacement model worked like a charm.

    Brief evaluation
    ----------------
    Belkin suggests that you use this for your entertainment center - which explains the 'coax' protection - but I found it a lot more useful with my home office. The entertainment center use did not work for me because more than 2 of my gadgets don't like to be shut down completely and only one or two would benefit from this feature. On my home office though, I just love taking down the speakers, the monitor, the several chargers and the docking station. I'm not sure how long it will take for this to 'pay for itself' but, since I was going to replace the old surge protector anyway, I had no problem going with this one.

    This surge protector allows for up to 10 devices to be plugged in but it makes no special accommodations for the wider DC adapters. It will protect them against power surges and it also does pass-thru protection for one coax wire. What makes it 'special' is, of course, the remote control that will completely shut off all but 2 of the outlets so nothing, not even stand-by power is consumed. This is good because it saves some energy and I suspect that the devices for which the power was completely shut down are better protected in the event of a spike. With the remote on my desk, I found that I almost always remember to shut things down when I'm done.

    More details
    ------------
    The following are noteworthy, in my view.

    Positives:

    + Simple remote control with a 60 ft. range and no line of sight requirement to turn off all but 2 of the outlets - it's what makes this device special.
    + On-Off switch could be mounted on a wall (mounting screws not provided) or simply glued to the wall or the side of your desk (adhesive tape provided).
    + 10-outlet capacity but must be creative with the placement of the wider AC adapters. Two of them can sit comfortably at the end where the cable guides are. The remaining six outlets that can be switched off are a little crowded though so your true 'power saving' capacity (not counting the permanently one outlets which I don't use at this time) could be 4 AC and 2 regular plugs - see the note at the bottom of this review for an alternative solution.
    + 'Always on' light shows that power is present.
    + 'Not grounded' red light (must be off) will warn you when there's something wrong. Belkin's warranty won't apply if the light was on when your devices got fried. I don't know if for a fact but I assume they have a way of telling if that was the case.
    + 'Remote-Switched Outlets' light shows when switched outlets are active.
    + Manual override button allows for direct control of switched outlets. A must have when the remote's battery needs replacing.
    + Clip for cable management. Its best feature is it being removable because removing it was the only way I could squeeze in my 2 widest AC adapters.
    + Thin (one inch) and flat shape. Sits well on any flat surface, usually the floor.
    + Coax cable pass through for surge protection but Belkin's warranty does NOT cover damage through surges through the coax (think lightning hitting your satellite dish).
    + It's possible to control several similar devices with one remote control or have each respond to its own on-off remote - the manual shows you how to set them up.
    + 4 foot long cord.

    Negatives:

    - Crowded placement of 6 of the 8 'switched' outlets creating potential problems when you are plugging in many wide AC adapters. The only place the really wide adapters can live is near the cable guide clip but ONLY after you remove it.
    - The little manual was written for a different model that has only 6 switched outlets but it does cover the current product's feature.
    - The warranty statement promises up to $100,000 coverage for equipment damaged due to surges but it explicitly excludes anything coming through the coax (lightning?) and the way it's worded, it would probably cost you more to fulfill the requirements and prove your case than whatever you are likely to get IF you are successful.

    Rating
    ------
    I like Belkin's opting for simplicity - click and you're done - over the more complex semi-intelligent energy saving power strips that many find difficult to set up and don't always perform the way one expects. With me in control, at least I won't be blaming someone else if something goes wrong. I currently have one 'always on' outlet in use and 5 'switched' outlets and the 3 remaining ones are still usable - not 'covered' that is. The 5 outlets that I can turn off at the end of my workday should probably not waste 25-35W each hour for 12+ hours each workday plus weekends. Not bad and it should probably fully pay for itself after about a year of use.

    I am awarding 5 stars to this 4.5 stars item that addresses real issues by providing a realistic solution. It's possible that the power strip of the future are going to be a lot more intelligent than today's but, until then, this is the optimal solution for me.

    __________________________________________________

    Note:

    If you have more than 2 wide AC adapters, the better choice may be Belkin Conserve Switch F7C01008q Energy-Saving Surge with Remote. It has 2 fewer switched outlets (six instead of eight) but all six can be wide AC adapters.

    I am into saving energy everytime I can so this is why I bought this product. It works fine but the control sometimes does not give a satisfactory signal of being turned off or on, so I have to press it several times. Not always but sometimes. But it has always worked, so go on and save energy.

    4.0 out of 5 stars The switch is easy to fix
    Reviewed in the United States on May 13, 2011
    Verified Purchase
    I bought one of these in spite of the reviews that people have noted that you have to push the switch really hard and that it is not reliable. I did an easy fix that might help. First, remove the battery. The switch module comes apart pretty easily, gently twist a quarter in the rectangular indent at both ends of the case. Be careful not to lose the two springs inside when it comes apart. When it is apart, you will have the grey ring you just took off, the bottom of the case with a circuit board, two springs, and the white rocker switch. The rocker has two catches that stick down - I cut both of them off with a knife, then put the whole thing back together, including the springs. The result is the rocker switch stays about in the middle from the spring pressure. If you push either end, the green light will flash and the strip outlets will go on and off.
