Review on SYCON 3 Way Wall Outlet Extender AC Adapter, 2-Prong Swivel Mini Indoor Wall Tap Power Outlet Extender Plug, White by David West

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Uniquely suited to my need

I had a very specific need for this product, or one like it: A bathroom switch/outlet combo with a wide, paddle rocker switch and in which I wanted to plug a fat Febreze Fade Defy Plug (B08TB82CPT), a Braun Clean and Charge (B00189R9GU) with a 2-prong plug, and a hair dryer with a GFCI plug. A typical 3-way, side-by-side adapter wouldn't work because it would block the paddle rocker switch. Other adapters would turn the GFCI plug on its side which would look stupid and cause the cord to be in the way. I tried some other compact adapters but everything was either too wide and blocked the switch or too tall and didn't fit under the plug-in air freshener or the outlets were angled wrong or too close together, etc., then the rains stopped and the clouds parted and I found this unique product. It fits perfectly under my air freshener and beside my paddle switch, it allows me to plug in my hair dryer without turning it or having it stick out any farther than the air freshener, and it even allows me to plug in my shaver charger vertically instead of horizontally, partially hidden behind the hair dryer plug. As if that weren't enough, I can also plug in an electric toothbrush and still have one outlet left open for a curling iron when needed. I have to admit I was a little afraid this no-name, non-UL-listed product might burst into flames but after several months of continuous use it hasn't yet so I'm pretty happy with it. My only (minor) complaints are the hinge is a bit loose so if it's bumped it might swing out from the wall a little and you all but have to hold it when plugging/unplugging something on the sides due to it flexing.

Pros
  • Can be used for a wide range of electronics
Cons
  • The product may not have a reliable connection with the outlet
