Great product; Misleading photos.
DISCLAIMER: this review is intended more for the “Seller” than the the “Buyer.”The photos for this product are somewhat misleading. They only show front and back views, but if they had showed the side view, I would not have ordered this adapter because it doesn’t work/fit on the outlet I intended to use it on. It only works on 2-socket outlets, but not a 1-socket outlet (which is what I was specifically looking for).There are obviously the 3 metal prongs at the top of the adapter which plug into the wall socket as expected, but I was not expecting there to also be another 4th plastic prong at the bottom of the adapter which prevents you from plugging it into any wall outlet with only one socket (so it only works on 2-socket outlets, not 1-socket outlets).This is not clear from the photos used: they only show the front and side-front (45° angle) views of the adapter, and then show a back view (180° angle), but not a full-side (90° angle) view. Had there been a full-side 90° view, it would’ve been clear to see there was a 4th prong at the bottom indicating the adapter is only compatible with double-socket outlets (and buyers looking specifically for an adapter for a single-socket outlet would know not to order this product). The very last photo shows the 180° back view, and if you look closely (zoom in) you can make out the 4th prong down at the bottom. But since this 4th prong is white and plastic (and not metal like the other 3 prongs), it blends in with the rest of the white packaging and is very hard to see/notice it’s even there unless you’re looking for it. This is why a 90° side-angle side view of the adapter would be much more helpful because it would actually show the 4th white plastic prong protruding from the bottom of the adapter; there would be no way to miss it.Just a suggestion. The actual product works great, as I just so happened to find another different outlet that was actually compatible with this adapter a few months after I originally ordered it. So it all worked out, but it may be beneficial to other potential buyers to add a photo of the adapter from the side (90° angle) so they can see whether it’s compatible with the outlet they’re looking for.

Good adapter, with a couple things to know
This adapter works well and looks good in the wall. The terminals are tight for a secure plug-in, and I like that the shape will accommodate the various "power bricks" that come with some things.Two things to be aware of. First, this only plugs in to the top half of your receptacle, there is a plastic locating pin on the bottom of the adapter that goes into the ground opening on the lower half. This means that it is drawing all its power from the top half, but since both halves of the receptacle are connected, this doesn't really matter. Where it becomes an issue is if you use it on a receptacle where one half is controlled by a switch. If the top half is switch-controlled, that will turn power on and off to the adapter and anything plugged into it. If the bottom half is switch-controlled, there shouldn't be a problem.Second, if you have the square "decora" style receptacle (which we do), you will not be able to use the center screw in the adapter to fasten it to the receptacle, it will just be held in by the terminals. So if you unplug something, you need to hold onto the adapter to keep it from coming out of the receptacle. For our use of this, everything plugged into it pretty much stays plugged in so it's not an issue for us, but keep this in mind if you frequently plug and unplug.Overall though, this adapter suits our purpose well and I would recommend it.

Great Wall Plug Adapter! But Beware!
I have used this adapter in my bathroom sink area. It is great when I have to charge all my things like electric razor, electric toothbrush, nightlight, hair dryer, and bidet all at the same time. I can keep at least 5-6 items plugged in at the same time.This adapter plugs into your top receptacle with a plastic rod that fits into your bottom three prong. It is screwed into the center for a tight hold.Beware: this adapter will not fit into a power outlet that has the GFCI receptacle. Please look at the picture.The best thing is the price is right compared to the others at the local store.

DO NOT BUY THIS
I bought this for my room to give me a little more outlet real-estate. Immediately on plugging in one thing this piece of garbage sparked and popped. and for whatever reason mine is not eligible for return even though the provider was listed as Amazon. So no, do not buy this crap.ONE STAR FOR A DEFECTIVE PRODUCT AND SHIESTY BUSINESS PRACTICES

Buyer Beware..... There is nothing ...
Buyer Beware ..... There is nothing mechanically wrong with this (that I know of). It just won't work with the newer "square" outlets. Why you say. The square outlets don't have a screw in the center! Yes, you can "plug in' the adapter but it will not be attached solidly to the outlet. Still usable but you have to hold it firmly when you remove plugs from the outlet/adapter. One other item. All six of the adapter plugs are connected to the top outlet plug. No problem except when you have a wall switch wire in to the outlet. I guess that it's a rule of thumb that the top plug is the one that is "switched" and the bottom is always hot. If you don't mind turning all six adapter plugs off and on, I guess you are golden.

Great value
I've got two of these - one in the bedroom and one in the office room in my home. They work great so far and I consider them an upgrade over flat outlet expanders like the ones Belkin makes, since you can plug items in from the sides (at a slight angle) as well as the front. They come with a screw in the middle for fastening them to you outlet if you have that kind, but I've had no issues using the product without screwing it in.

In order for these to work they need to be ...
In order for these to work they need to be screwed in with the included screw, or else they wobble and disconnect your appliances at the slightest touch. The problem is that not every outlet has a hole in the middle to accommodate that screw, so you may be unable to use this plug.

Excelente para aparatos de bajo consumo
Los compré para utilizar en la cocina y estoy muy satisfecho con el resultado, puedo tener varios aparatos conectados, ya no necesito desconectar alguno para poder conectar otro. La apariencia que queda es mucho mas limpia que dejar una tira multicontactos. Algo a tener en cuenta es que si lo vas a dejar permanente debes de tener tomas de luz de dos clavijas (con tierra) y que entre ambas tenga un pequeño orificio para introducir y atornillar para que quede suficientemente fijo, sino ajustas el tornillo tiende a moverse ligeramente si conectas cargadores o algo pesado. Hay un modelo que tiene protección contra picos, si le van a conectar aparatos costosos recomendaría instalar ese, aunque ese modelo no se puede ajustar con tornillo.

Must read - not a real "GE" product
This is a real socket space saver. It could turned one socket into six useable socket. And the space between socklets are gennours, it even fits some very big plugs like Google home. I have been using it for about two year and this is no problem at all. But the only complaint is that I found this is a product authorized by GE only. The real manufacture is Javco and only have 90 days warranty. You have to read the product description carefully when you receive this product.

Excelente multicontacto que puede quedar fijo!
Excelente opción cuando se requiere un multicontacto que quede firme y no se venga con todo y clavija al desconectar aparatos.Yo lo instalé en mi cocina donde tengo aparatos que solo se apagan desonectandolo, por lo que constantemente necesito conectar y desconectar sin batallar y pensar que se va venir con todo y el multicontacto.Ojo, necesita que el contacto de la pared sea el clasico de 3 picos (como en la foto se ve sin tapa) si no, no podrá fijarse.

Great for the kitchen
This cheaply and effectively helped me get all my countertop appliances and lighting connected in the kitchen. It does come out of the socket a little bit easily, so now I have to hold it instead of just yanking on the cord, but I can't see how this would be avoided in any alternative product (it does have the bolt hole to bolt into the wall but there's no hole in that location on my outlets).

Recomendable
Cumple su función y el precio me pareció más competitivo que otros iguales, con la ventaja que este es General Electric, lo cual es garantía de calidad y funcionalidad. Sólo le quito una estrella porque no sé porque razón tardó muchísimo en llegar. Tardó más el tránsito en USA que lo que tardó en llegar una vez cruzada la frontera, incluyendo el tiempo en aduana. Increíble pero cierto.
