Woods 41715 Energy Saving Surge Protector Power Strip with 80 Range Remote Control Outlets 1080J of Protection 5 Foot Cord, White

I bought this primarily to control power to a subwoofer when I turned on my receiver. It works good enough for me in that respect.First of all, this thing has a power switch on the side that controls power to all outlets. The switch has an LED light. There's also two more LED lights on the front.There's no switch or toggle to control its sensitivity, so you might be stuck if you try to use it with a device that uses too much power in standby mode.For example, when my TV is turned off (in standby mode), and it's plugged into the master outlet, the controlled outlets either don't turn off or flicker on and off rapidly. It works perfectly with standby mode for a PS3 and PS4, and works well enough with my Yamaha receiver. For the Yamaha, it doesn't turn off power to the controlled ports until about 7 minutes after I put the Yamaha into standby. This might be the Yamaha's fault though.I took a look inside and the auto-on/off circuitry primarily consists of a small standard relay (these things click when turned on and off - this is normal), and a donut-shaped device that appears to activate the relay when current passes through it (the power wire for the master outlet goes through the donut).All electromagnet relays will fail given enough time. Now, I'm just hoping this one will last at least a couple of years. I'll update this review if it fails.----------Update 2 weeks later:It no longer works for me. The switched outlets now rarely turn off with my Yamaha receiver (in standby mode - with no changes made to it), and when it does switch off, it switches on and off rapidly when the receiver turns on.I get the same rapid on/off switching with my TV, but at least it now turns off more reliably. Though one major issue with it is that turns on and off randomly when the TV is in standby mode.Overall, I can't recommend this if you plan on using it with a master device that doesn't fully power off (goes into standby mode). PCs that you shut down and older devices that turn off fully (via a power switch), should work great for it. But you'll be taking a risk if you expect it to work with a modern device that goes into a standby mode.

I bought this product for a hard-to-reach outlet to run the speakers and lights for livingroom dance parties. Most of the time my livingroom is in "normal" mode and I power a lamp and a a charger in the always-on outlets. However with the push of a button on the remote, I can instantly activate (or deactivate) "party" mode for all my dance-party devices on that side of the room. My children love the instant party effect, I love not having to crawl on the floor and reaching waaaay back behind the piano to plug things in by feel. The remote is small and very portable. It works perfectly throughout the house, so I can take It with me and if I need to silence the music immediately for whatever reason, I can do so with the push of a button. This is exactly what I needed to power instant fun.

Surge protector works very good. The range of the remote control is also excellent. I thought we were going to have problems turning on/off the power strip because it was hidden inside a drawer but it works well and from a very good distance.

Where has this been all my life??? It is so handy to just hit a button and turn everything on. If switches are hard to reach or there are no switches, it makes turning on the power super easy. If you are handicapped and can't bend over or reach out very easily, this power strip is wonderful!

Great Product! Works well. Just wish the power cord was 1 or 2 feet longer. Use it to power on/off house plant lights. So easy when you don't have to get down on the floor to turn on/off the power switch.

Great way to eliminate parasitic energy sources. Just a click of the remote and everything on the strip is powered off or on.

This is a nice power strip and the remote makes it easy to keep the power strip and cords hidden behind the tree.

Works well and good price. Would purchase again. Only suggestion is that the on/off buttons be colored. As is a bit hard for older folks to discern.

This product sits under the roof of our gazebo & I have flood lights attached to it. I can now turn it on or off from inside the house with the remote to turn it off or on. Great when the weather is not so nice!!Love it!!JR

Works as advertised. I plugged in my desktop to the bar and it turns of my monitors when my computer goes to sleep. The only thing I noticed is that if you have too much power coming through the computer while it's asleep, like a mouse, keyboard, and a charging phone, it can draw enough power for the power bar to think the computer is on and may send power to the controlled outlets. This can be fixed by charging your phone or other devices using a separate charger.I tested it by plugging it into a watt analyser. The effect of shutting down the computer with all the extras plugged into the control outlets was the same as having all the extras unplugged.

Great power strip with remote control. Makes life very easy and helpful 😌.

Doesn't work with AV receivers that go into standby mode.

Received quickly. Works as described
