Side Entry Outlet Plug 6-Way Electrical Socket Splitter Wall Mount Current Tap Adapter In Grey
J**D
Separately wired for each plug! That's the ticket for switched outlets.
There is an epidemic of adapters that only use the top outlet to power all 6 receptacles. Not this one! Great for all outlets, including those connected to a wall switch. The left-hand 3 outlets are wired to the top outlet, and the right 3 to the bottom outlet. The vertical alignment of the pinouts is better than the ones that are sideways - keeps the profile narrow when brick adapters are plugged in. If the adapter was taller allowing for those pesky brick adapters to not overlap the outlets, it would be 6 stars!It's missing the attachment screw but they didn't offer it, and it fits snug anyway - my outlets have tight contacts. I agree, though, it's a 5-cent part that should be included for those that need it.Note to seller: It was insufficiently packed in a bubble envelope with 4 bare units banging against each other in transit - some light scratches resulted, but they're not very noticeable - I was lucky. This 4-pack should be boxed and each unit separately bagged inside.

Well made. Should be durable.
This is the only safe way to plug in behind furniture. These side entry outlet covers are perfect for those tight places where otherwise the cords coming from the plugs would be tightly bent and possibly worse, rubbing and being abraded on the back of furniture. With all our modern conveniences it's also nice to have the extrea outlets to plug those extra devices in! These "blocks" use both sockets of a duplex outlet and really do plug into the duplex unit. I've seen some with only a plug for the one side of the outlet, wired to all the new sockets. These are wired as 3 and 3 so if one side of you're outlet is switched, three of the new sockets will be switched as well. The live socket will feed thru to 3 of the new sockets. I took the six screws that hold one unit together out and removed the back panel. The two plug ins are wired to the left and right sides of the cover. On mine, if I held the box up as a set of three faces atop of each other, the topmost face on each side was wired to the plugs. The other two on each side are "buss bar" The wire appears "electrically welded" at all the internal connectors. The short internal wires appeared to be about 14 gauge. The welded wire connections I could observe appeared competent and secure. The structure inside the box holding all the pieces was very precise and showed "pride" in design. I look forward to employing these in my home.

Convenient design, but missing attachment/mounting screws
Love these; super convenient; great design; love the color!! 1 star off for not including mounting screws. These are great for plug outlets located behind furniture (e.g., dresser, headboard, book shelves, etc.). It prevents the cords from being damaged/bent/smushed by the furniture being pushed against them. While most of these units in my home are utilized behind furniture so you will never see them, the walls of my home are painted so the gray color not only matches in some places, but also, is hardly noticeable against walls painted in other colors (except white walls I guess, according to other reviewers). It's looks so sleek and cohesive that I'm going to replace my light switch plates and other miscellaneous outlet plates to match also. Love these and will definitely purchase again when I find the need. Wish they would include the 2" mounting screws, luckily I had extras in my toolbox.

Why don't they make these in white?
They work well for the price. I don't know why these types of outlet adapters are so expensive - the dollar store sells a similar model, just not side mount. Why aren't these sold in white? Grey is very ugly - not that it stands out a ton, but it is definitely noticeable. Other than that, they work. No center screw is included so they aren't super sturdy in the outlet, but I've not had any problems with them wanting to fall out - they stay in well. Plugging in and unplugging into these adapters is somewhat tough when compared to the wall outlet. It's a lot harder and not at all smooth.

Exactly what I was looking for but the only downfall ...
Exactly what I was looking for but the only downfall is a does not come with The attachment screw In the middle of the unit to to attach it to the recepticle. Had to go to home depot and buy 2" screws to make it work.

Where are the Screws ?
Its a good and useful product but there are other sellers that include the mounting screw. You should buy from them and not this seller.

Excellent item
These put your wall receptacles into a "sideways" position letting you push furniture further to the wall. Very nice design. Very cleverly done.

I don't like them
They serve their purpose but they're ugly so you probably would only use them out of sight or in a garage or other not-home setting. I just really don't like them. I should returned them.
