What's great about it: Master Control
This is better than your average power strip! It has a master so you can control what items are always on and what items you can save energy on. Thumbs up!

What's great about it: Protection specs
What's not so great: Master controlled outlets awkward
Model RF-HTS105. This came as part of a package deal with the HDMI cable and LCD screen cleaner kit at a nice price. I love the feeling that my precious electronic equipment is protected, however, the feature design is not in tune with the times. There is one Master outlet, four Master Controlled outlets, and only two outlets that are always on. All my new equipment shuts off automatically by itself making the four master controlled outlets redundant if not useless. My sound bar powers up automatically with the TV and would not turn back on properly when plugged into a master controlled outlet. Two or even one master controlled is plenty and I could have used more outlets that were always on. I had to rig a short multi-tap extension to accommodate everything needing to be always on.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Price, relatively small form factor
I ran out of outlets on my older surge protector for my home entertainment devices, and the last thing I wanted to do was spend a lot of money on a surge protector. This one provided the right number of outlets, it's narrow enough to easily fit in the space I had available, and it didn't cost too much. I had originally purchased another one, but it turned out to have a power-off system where certain outlets would lose power if the power to the "master" devices was turned off. Since I use a Harmony One remote with my home entertainment system, I didn't want the surge protector messing up my settings, so I returned that one and got this one instead.

What's not so great: Digital cable filter blocks some channels
I am unable to use the digital cable noise filtering feature since it blocks a multitude of channels from coming through properly.

I love the features of this surge protection. It has two always on inserts, which is great for me. The other inserts save's energy when the TV is off. Love it. Already recommend it to my sister, and she loves it too.

Great idea, but very specific application

What's great about it: Energy saving idea.
What's not so great: Very specific application,
I think the device is pretty cool, but I ultimately returned it because its design dictates how you use/power your equipment. If I recall, three outlets are associated with the main and power down when the main powers down. I think only two were available for 'always on.' This device is a great power-saving idea, but if you need a more general application, you might need to look elsewhere.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Idea of switching of ancillary devices
What's not so great: NA
Bought it because I liked the idea of switching off ancillary devices when I switch off the master (TV). As advertised, it works pretty well. However, as an after thought it may not be a good idea to power off devices without first switching them off (at least for my external sound amplifier and speakers, and BluRay player and ......). So, now I have to remember to switch off all ancillary devices before I switch off my TV :(
I would recommend this to a friend!
