| Sears alternative to Smart Strip |

No adjustment on this. That's one of the things I didn't consider a positive feature of the Smart Strip. Since there seems to be some interest in the Sears version we should find out pretty quick if anyone has issues with the lack of adjustment. It does plug directly into an outlet, but I tested mine on an extension cord and didn't have a problem. |

You can always put a junction box in your cabinet, cut off the end of an extension cord,and wire the recepticle in the junction box to the extension cord for power. This would seem to be the most durable way of istalling this in a cabinet. |

so can anyone confirm or deny this is adjustable? Two say it is and one or two say it isn't. I installed a relay into a power strip but the relay itself is $8 and the power strip is 3-4$ no to mention time to install it. This looks like a real viable option for us! Can someone do a review on how this works? |

I bought one of these to power up my cabinet a while back. I found it through posts on the forums here, (they were pretty old - but I wanted something I could just go out and purchase rather than waiting for a smartstrip). I'm not in a position to be able to say with absolute certainty that it is or isn't adjustable...BUT I'll go home and take a look at it tonight. I would imagine that it would be fairly obvious with just a quick look at the device. :) For what it's worth, I didn't even dig in to trying to determine any sort of secondary configuration options on the thing as it worked perfectly for my application, right out of the box. Finally, good luck on getting someone at Sears to help you find one. The Sears that I got mine from showed a half dozen in stock, but when I went to the store, they couldn't find it. They initially showed me the section near their power strips and when they couldn't find it there they told me they didn't carry it. I just wandered the isles near the tools until I eventually found it. Needless to say, they were a bit surprised. :) Lharles |
