Review on GE Grounded Wall Tap Extender, UL Listed, White, 6 Outlet Adapter with Spaced Outlets, Quick and Easy Install, 3-Prong - Model 50759 by Greg Roberts

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Good product; Misleading photos.

DISCLAIMER: This review is intended for the "Seller" rather than the "Buyer". The photos of this product are somewhat misleading. They only show a front and back view, but if they showed a side view I wouldn't order this adapter because it doesn't work/doesn't fit the outlet I was trying to use it on. It only works with 2-socket outlets, not 1-socket outlets (which is what I was specifically looking for). Obviously there are 3 metal prongs on the top of the adapter that plug into an outlet as expected, but I wasn't expecting that there is another 4th plastic prong on the bottom of the adapter that you can't plug into an outlet only with a socket (so only works with sockets with 2 sockets, not with sockets with 1 socket). The photos used do not show this: they only show the front and side view of the adapter (45° angle) and then the rear view (180° angle), but not the side (90° angle). ) Outlook. A full 90° view would clearly show that there is a 4th pin at the bottom indicating that the adapter is only compatible with dual sockets (and buyers looking for a single socket adapter). would know not to order this product). The latest photo shows a 180° rear view and if you look closely (zoom in) you can see the 4th prong at the very bottom. However, as this 4th stylus is white and plastic (not metal like the other 3 styluses) it blends in with the rest of the white package and is very difficult to see/notice unless you're looking for it. For this reason a 90° side view of the adapter would be much more useful as it actually shows the 4th white plastic pin sticking out of the bottom of the adapter; there would be no way to miss it. Just a suggestion. The actual product works great as a few months after my original order I accidentally found another outlet that was actually compatible with this adapter. So it worked, but other potential buyers may find it helpful to include a photo of the adapter on the side (90° angle) so they can see if it's compatible with the outlet they're looking for.
