Great idea but literally falls out of the wall

I was really excited for this outlet because I plug all my electronics in the outlet between my bed and the wall. I didn’t want to bend the wires so I thought plugging them in sideways would be a great idea. I have woken up almost every morning to find nothing charged because the extender literally will not stay in the wall. Most plugs you have to kind of pull them out but this one will fall out just by looking at it.

Pros
  • Found the right non-bulky fold flat outlet. Happy camper here.
Cons
  • Cheap plastic construction

Good enough in my review

My phone charger is huge and stuck out of the wall really far. Got this as a 90 degree adapter. Works fine. Not the highest quality bit of equipment, bit it works well enough.

Pros
  • The white color of the adapter blends well with most wall surfaces, ensuring a seamless look
Cons
  • May not be compatible with some international outlets

Low Build Quality on my review.

Worked as expected and very compact, but the build quality felt poor and it took some wrestling to plug things into it. May not offer as much protection as other surge protectors.

Pros
  • The ungrounded feature means you don't have to worry about installing a ground wire
Cons
  • May not offer as much protection as other surge protectors

These plugs are great.

These plugs are great! So many times I run into the issue that I have electrical outlets behind furniture that causes them to pop out because plugging anything into them requires the furniture to stick out 3" to 4" inches from the wall to accommodate the plugs behind them. These are small than expected but work great I can now move furniture back into place without having them stick out more than they should.

Pros
  • The adapter's small size makes it great for use in a dorm room or small apartment
Cons
  • May cause interference with radio signals

Very useful gadget: my feedback

Great for those tight spaces where a traditional plug doesn't suit your needs such as with an appliance or flat TV. We're using a few of them to make furniture placement easier.

Pros
  • The compact design allows you to use multiple adapters in the same outlet without overcrowding
Cons
  • May not be compatible with 220-volt outlets

These things are great! Very streamlined.

These were just what I needed. They give me the space I need to plug two chunky things into an outlet, and without looking clunky. Highly recommend. Everything else just looks stupid.

Pros
  • Cords, Adapters & Multi-Outlets
Cons
  • Can become hot with prolonged use

Mounts Close to Wall

This polarized plug folds extremely close to the wall for small clearance situations. Our dresser sat so close to the wall that we had to use an extension cord to locate the lamp plugs from behind the dresser.I cut the ears off the plug with side cutters and Dremel to get more clearance. Was able to eliminate the extension cord and hide the lamp plugs behind the dresser.

Pros
  • The adapter is easy to use, simply plug it in and go
Cons
  • May not have a high enough energy capacity

Ideal for connecting the shaver and toothbrush

Live that I can have both, shaver and toothbrush, charging at the same time. Generally, bathrooms have only one AC outlet. Convenient for travel.

Pros
  • The adapter provides 3 extra outlets, adding convenience to any room
Cons
  • May not provide enough power for some devices

Perfect for behind furniture

I purchased these for my son's new home for the electrical outlets behind furniture. It's practical for having to plug in lamps, alarm clocks, etc. that is behind furniture where the furniture isn't sticking out far from the wall because you have an extension cord plugged in.

Pros
  • Perfection!!
Cons
  • Can tip over easily

Did not return it because I couldn’t find the one I wanted.

It’s a 3 way outlet that I wanted to use behind a piece of furniture. It is a space saving device. But there are ( for lack of a better description) small plastic wings on 3 sides of the wall outlet that do not allow the device to lie flat. Used a Dremel tool to rectify the problem.

Pros
  • Used for adding sockets for a TV hook-up
Cons
  • Wobbly plug. cords fall out of plug holes.

Works well just don't try to pull too much.

Works well but with any electrical items, i wouldn't try to pull too much current through these just to be safe. It's great for power adapters like phone chargers (usb a micro) and lower power usb c chargers.

Pros
  • Specifications: Rated for a maximum of 125VAC, 15A, 1875W;
Cons
  • Not suitable for higher voltage appliances

Good price, shipped fast, will it last?

Worked properly, but upon arrival, I noticed that it's kind of separating. Doesn't fall apart, and won't fully snap together, but looks good in use and seems "just OK". Cool design.

Pros
  • Easy Access: Compact 3-way design allows you to use large adapter-shaped plugs, 180-degree rotating type A plug can be bent into different angles without obstructing other outlets;
Cons
  • Only comes in one size

Works. Doesn't Always Stay Plugged In Wall.

Bought this to try and plug a lit curio cabinet into the wall, but the plug isn't flat, so I needed to convert the wall into a 90° plug. This does the job, but because both prongs are equal size, it's very easy to accidentally pop this out of place. It doesn't have any sort of construction that will keep it forcibly plugged in.

Pros
  • Muy maniobrable
Cons
  • Falls out of the wall easily but it does the job.

Poor Design. good for me

Needing a slim multi outlet adapter for a tight spot on my office wall, I ordered this. It appears to be able to fold to lie flat against the wall but the actual device has raised edges along the sides that stop it from lying flush to the wall. It will only angle down or up at about 45 degrees. Additionally, the prongs on this are exposed a bit when plugged in which feels and looks very unsafe. This plus the entire reason for ordering it being blocked by it's own design has me baffled by this…

Pros
  • Adapters & Multi-Outlets
Cons
  • Not suitable for appliances with a large base

Use it for unususl locations

Where an item cannot be plugged directly or it will not fit directly into the socket, this device allows for different posissions

Pros
  • Plug in does allow ground cords.
Cons
  • The swivel feature may loosen with time

Just what I needed - my new review

I used this to plug in several chargers behind a book case. only had 1 inch of space to work with. I plugged this in, tilted it downward and plugged the charger cords into it. I fished the cords up the back of book case and thru a hole I drilled up to the middle shelf. now I have a charging station in my bookcase and the book case still sits flush against the wall without damaging the charger cords or plugs.

Pros
  • The ungrounded feature allows for use in areas where grounding is not necessary
Cons
  • May not be reliable in high humidity conditions

Does not sit flush to wall

I needed an adapter that would sit flush to the wall behind a cabinet. While better than other on the market, this does not sit flush because of flanges on both sides. I used a jig saw with a fine blade to saw these off. It now allows me to move the cabinet much closer. Overall I am happy with it, with my modifications.

Pros
  • The 2-pack offers great value for money, allowing you to use the adapters in multiple locations without breaking the bank
Cons
  • May not work well with power strips or extension cords

Works great! on my review.

Solved my problem of plugging in the phone charger and bedside lamp when the outlet is directly behind the bed. I've ordered this twice now.

Pros
  • The adapter is well-made and built to last, making it a great investment
Cons
  • May not be backed by a warranty

Works, no ground in my review

I bought this specifically because I have a non grounded outlet that I wanted more plugs on. If you have an outlet with a ground the safer thing to do would be to get an adapter with a ground but if you live in a house with old wiring and need more outlets, this will work.

Pros
  • Multi-Outlets
Cons
  • Prongs may not maintain a secure connection

Four sure! - my new review

Was looking for a way to keep 4 items plugged in, using a single outlet … and in a tight space. This fit the bill - radio, workbench light, and two batteries, all accessible with no more plugging and unplugging.If you buy, keep in mind this brand offers two similar versions - this one rests nicely and fully plugged in at 90 degrees, while the other leaves the prongs prominently exposed.

Pros
  • The swivel feature of the adapter allows for flexible use, even in tight spaces
Cons
  • May not fit securely into some outlets
