Monster MP HT 800G Home Theater PowerCenter with Monster GreenPower

Okay, it may be weird to call a surge protector cool, but when you can turn off EVERYTHING with the push of a SINGLE button, it kinda helps.Its noted that this could also be a bad thing, if you don't plan carefully.I got mine at a decent price here, and I have to say its worth it. It saves me energy, and money, and because i set up my sleep timers CORRECTLY, I can sleep comfortably knowing that everything will turn off in order, and without damaging any of my equipment.Its really a neat thing to have, too, especially when you don't want to take the time to run through all your devices. But it does its job, does it well, although the outlets could have been spaced out better. All in all, a wise choice. GO GREEN!!

The labels were missing to attach to power cords - which is one of the nice extras when buying one of these. Otherwise, everything looks as it should & plan to hook things up soon.

Good price and dependable delivery. I purchased two units because they are well made and can always depend on their performance.

I bought the Monster MP HT 800G Home Theater PowerCenter with Monster GreenPower for my new 55in plasma 3D TV. Also it's green and Monster covers it with a fantastic warranty. I have the Monster Cable MP HTS 700 Home Theater Power Center With Coax , Cable TV, Antena, Satellite, And phone Line Surge Protection Power Center with Surge Protection also for my 40in Sony Bravia TV. It went out during a storm and Monster replaced it right away and was going to pay for damage to TV and Bluray player but they were undamaged. I stupidly went to Ripoff Best Buy for that one and they charged my $79.99 while Amazon has it for $33.99. They also charged my the same price for a high speed HDMI cable. My TV was coming the next day and I didn't know anything about HD and Bluray so I stupidly paid them. I've learned a lot since then. The High Speed HDMI cables the Amazon has for $5.99 or a package of two for $9.00 work just fine. So do be careful of getting ripped by places like Best Buy and their lies about what you need for their high ripoff prices. You will save a lot of $$$ buying on Amazon.

Works well but I hate the "green power" sockets. Some device do not work well in them. In theory if you skip the first green socket the feature is disabled. I avoid them reducing my socket count to half. Green power, how stupid...

When it arrived the unit had 2 dead ports. Now only a few months later, it no longer provides reliable power; and will periodically cause my entire entertainment center to power off at random. We had it happen 3 times in one day this past weekend even.Update now that I've fully tested the unit:It arrived with 3 dead outlets. I've tested on multiple locations in my home to make certain it wasn't anything about the outlet. Additionally the unit just cuts power at random times day and night.Update:I tried to contact the vendor. Their "Return" policy does not address shipping the unit back, meaning if you *also* have issues you're out at least another $10-15 to return it...each time it fails. BAsed on this arriving DOA, I don't know those odds are worth

I couldn't plug in all my equipment, the receptacles wouldn't take the plug

8 outlets. One is a control, 3 are switched and 4 are unswitched. My needs are for one control, 1 unswitched, and 6 switched, so I had to daisy chain a strip.My main goal was to reduce power usage. I have my receiver as the control and my TV, Wii, bluetooth receiver, other peripherals off. The main motivator was the Wii which will keep running forever if kids forget to power it off (The PS3 turns itself off if you configure it, but I know of no way to do that on Wii unless they added some feature I don't know about (which they appear to have added on Wii U, but we have classic Wii).I have no experience with a lightning strike and that is one main reason to buy this, so no way to test this.

There is no better protection for your sound system than this .it improves FM Stereo via the RF terminals. Just connect your FM Antenna on the input and the output to your receiver with a RF cable . Enjoy!

Works exactly as described
