There is a limit of one Energy-saving powerboard per household. Additional Energy-saving powerboards can be purchased from The Good Guys.

HOW DOES THE CREST ENERGY-SAVING POWERBOARD WORK?
It works by linking multiple appliances to one master appliance e.g. your TV. When the power to your nominated master appliance is switched to standby mode, the power to the other ‘linked’ appliances (such as home entertainment devices) is completely switched off automatically. This eliminates standby power as though each device had been turned off at the wall. When the main device is turned back on, power is restored to the ‘linked’ appliances. The user won’t see anything different.

This saves unnecessary power consumption when leaving multiple appliances on standby. It also has excellent power surge protection capabilities, to protect and prolong the life of your expensive equipment.

The board is very simple to install and start operating with your appliances. To make sure you're getting the best out of your Energy-saving powerboard, Crest has a support website and phone service to help you with any questions you may have in setting up and using the device.

    a dupe, but I think people need to see it again as many aren't aware of it.

      Woops.. You're right.. although these would probably be especially handy for those flood affected areas. Also, they are offering free assessments and free delivery of white goods for those affected. Check it out:

    I received mine last year. Faulty. Who do you complain to when your taxes are spent on dodgy crap?

    • jdr on 14/02/2011 - 09:41

      Mine worked for a while and then started switching the "switched" sockets off and on randomly as if the cuurent draw on the main socket was not being detected properly.

        Yea mine did the same. I wouldnt pay $180 for one of these. They don't work 100%. But for free…u can't complain.

      • OzzyBrak on 14/02/2011 - 20:14

        Mine has the same problems… I guess why they are "giving" them away.

      • prisonerzero on 14/02/2011 - 23:39

        They would have to be reset if they are unplugged or the power goes off.
        -Turn off the powerboard at the wall
        -Turn it back on
        -Turn your TV on (or whatever you have plugged in the main socket on the powerboard)
        -Make sure it is drawing a usual amount of power (i.e. displaying a tv channel, not just a black screen).
        -Give it a good 15 seconds
        -Turn your TV off in the usual way (with the remote, or a switch on the TV, whichever you normally do)

      | Faulty. Who do you complain to when your taxes are spent on dodgy crap?

      even though it was free, it is still covered by a 12 month manufacturer's warranty. since they only started delivering in july last year, yours will most certainly still be under warranty. instead of whinging, ring up crest for warrantee service.

      mine appears to be working ok so far.

      as with many surge powerboards, the value of the insurance policy is rather limited as you have to nominate equipment up-front to be covered by insurance.

  • StalkingIbis on 14/02/2011 - 10:23

    mine works great!!

  • issh on 14/02/2011 - 10:27

  • coolsteps on 14/02/2011 - 11:09

    • issh on 14/02/2011 - 11:11

    • bendertiger on 14/02/2011 - 23:51

      You could always use a different name and see if that works, one's that come to mind…

      'Max Power'
      'T. Edison'
      'B. Franklin'

    I don't really see the point.

    everything in my house goes off at the wall.

    except the fridge, router/phone, hot water service.

    • h4lcyon on 15/02/2011 - 10:05

      Not everyone is like you, e.g I turn off my hot water service during summer as the solar panels do a good enough job.

      • c64 on 15/02/2011 - 12:30

        I turn off my hot water service during summer as the solar panels do a good enough job.

        ha, if you were a real man you would turn your hot water service off during winter as well :)

        • h4lcyon on 15/02/2011 - 18:32

          If you were a real man, why would you have gal in your name? :P

      • balbags on 22/02/2011 - 14:56

        haha touche.

    • c64 on 15/02/2011 - 12:27

      everything in my house goes off at the wall.

      that is the best way. of course all people are not as diligent as you :)

  • dammit on 14/02/2011 - 22:56

    thanks :)

  • equinoxxx on 16/02/2011 - 18:04

    Be careful with these one blew up my TV because of how it was loosing power from the device. It seems the way the board switches the power off can be problematic with sensitive devices. I now have mine on a 8 plug $160 belkin board (http://www.belkin.com/au/IWCatProductPage.process?Product_Id…) with proper filters. Not saying there not good but be warned :)

    • c64 on 16/02/2011 - 20:46

      i think it would not be because of the board, but rather because of a crap power supply design in your tv.

      for belkin boards you are just paying for insurance. i doubt they are very different from the crest one or even the sub-$30 cheapies (minus insurance) you see on deal sites.

      i haven't looked at the belkin insurance policy, but many of the surge protected power board insurance policies are very restricted, mainly requiring you to nominate, up front, connected devices to be covered by the insurance.

      • equinoxxx on 17/02/2011 - 15:16

        At no point was I talking about the Insurance nor the surge protection, I'm sure they are indeed similar. It is the way the Crest board immediately cuts available power from all units connected to the slave points. Try flicking the switch on your TV on and off at the point for a while and see what happens. ;)
