Perfectly meets my needs

This is great. It's hard to find sockets like this with a plug at the bottom (but due to gravity, I plugged it in anyway). The reason I needed a plug at the bottom is because the top outlets in the devices that use them are controlled by a wall switch (which I didn't want). They are reliable and inexpensive. I highly recommend. One caveat - you must use a center faucet with them, note that "Decor" sockets do not have a screw in the center. It didn't bother me. *If* you still need a decorative…

Pros
  • Quick replacement
Cons
  • boring packaging

It's useless if your fork has some weight!

If you're planning on plugging in anything that carries weight, you should look elsewhere. USB chargers, diffusers, air fresheners, Alexa Dots, anything heavier than a regular cable will not fit in this adapter. It either hangs half in, half out, or falls out all the way. In fact, this is the WORST adapter I've ever bought. It also only uses the bottom wall outlet plug instead of plugging into both. Because of this, it tends to pull itself out of the wall. It comes with a screw to screw it into

Pros
  • Always liked
Cons
  • Something went wrong

It works well. Take it.

Works well. It's a little wobbly. I wish there was more cavity on the backplate so the whole thing could sit flush with the wall. But since I don't see any other option, I'm satisfied. Works great in the kitchen. And one more thing that was incredibly annoying. That stupid hologram sticker. Why on earth did you put it in the foreground? Put it on your back! This sticker was very difficult to remove without damaging the soft plastic. (Don't try acetone like me. It melts that kind of plastic, but

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • silent

This adapter has very solid connectors.

This adapter has very narrow plugs. So if you have an old house with loose sockets, it doesn't work that well. Another annoying thing is that the notch on the back isn't deep enough to be flush with the wall so it wobbles and if it wobbles you lose power. Why doesn't the manufacturer take into account the depth or the standard wall plate which is about 6mm?

Pros
  • Wide range
Cons
  • Safety

Great - when properly installed

Great for connecting up to 6 devices, with plenty of room for adaptors/transformers. When properly installed, this wall mounted faucet can be as convenient and safe as a standard duplex outlet. But proper installation can be a problem. You need to 1) remove the plug from the outlet, 2) make sure the outlet is screwed tightly into the socket (many are loose), 3) make sure the face of the outlet isn't sticking out of the drywall more than about 1/8th inches and 4) insert the faucet and secure…

Pros
  • Impressive
Cons
  • Volume

Bargain Power Strips & Surge Protectors

This adapter can either be plugged into an existing wall plate or installed in place of an existing wall plate, greatly improving IME performance. Plugging in is a breeze and the quality seems good - better than a couple of GE adapters I've used. However, if it is mounted directly to an outlet (i.e. instead of an existing panel), how tight it fits to the wall depends on the depth of the outlet in the box. The one I installed in my 10 year old house didn't fit flush with the wall, about 1/8 inch

Pros
  • Durable Test Results
Cons
  • Long Term

Very good design - power strips and surge protector

A few months ago I took the plunge and bought this wall extension. Over time I found this very useful. The pyramid shape and the central screw are perfect. This geometry seems to do justice to the different sizes and shapes of the 3 plugs. I especially appreciate the center screw for mounting to the wall where the original bezel was. Yes, you must remove the panel. I have a similar device from Phillips, same geometry. The difference is that the Phillips model is not attached to the socket. With

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • Not as good as it says it is
