Amazing performance

I had a couple of outlets in my house that I was always having to swap plugs in and out of. I could have used a regular surge/power strip, but that would have involved having something hang from the wall, so I looked for something that would screw into the wall and give me more outlets and this was what I chose to go with. I love how the outlets are not all facing the same direction. You get two on each angled side of the outlet and two front facing ones that can handle a wall wart of any size. Reading some other reviews, people knocked this unit for taking power from only one outlet in the back. There is a plastic nub that goes into the 3rd prong of the 2nd outlet to help hold the weight, but I don't see this as a con, since if I had a power strip, everything would be taking power from the same physical plug anyway. Another review knocked this because plugging too many devices overloaded his circuit. This person obviously doesn't understand how residential power works. In any residential circuit, you have either a fuse or a breaker which dictates the maximum amount of power that circuit can handle. Most residential circuits in the US are either 15A or 20A circuits. To determine the maximum amount of power (watts) a circuit can handle, you take the A rating and multiple that by the voltage (which is always 120v in the US). So a 15A circuit can handle 1800 watts. A 20A circuit can handle 2400 watt. Go too far beyond this limit and you will trip/blow the breaker/fuse. This applies to ALL electrical outlets in a given cirtcuit, so adding a surge/power strip or an outlet adapter like this, does not increase the capacity of that circuit. You still run the same risk of overloading that circuit as before using this device. Pay attention to the wattage of your devices you are using. If you are not sure of how much power your devices us, I recommend getting something like a Kill-A-Watt which can measure it for you. Anyway, this is a great piece that secures to the wall with a screw in the middle. Some reviews mentioned that they broke the screw when tightening this down. I didn't have such a problem with either of the 3 that I bought. Finally, this is made by GE, which made me feel a little more comfortable regarding its quality. 5 stars, all the way!

Easy to install it directly into the outlet plug in my living room and it easily fit the standard outlet plastic cover. The white plastic prong slides into the bottom 'grounding' hole nicely, and the blades are securely fitted inside, no gaps. This was slightly smaller and less depth than the one I bought at the same time as this one, but that's possibly because the other one also had a "resettable circuit breaker" built inside it (GE Grounded 6-Outlet, 56575). I was pleased to see I didn't need to permanently install it as it is very stable and the shape of it really hugs the wall. Woohoo!! Unfortunately, neither of the two different types of 6-Outlet Wall Taps work for my bathroom because it has a GFI type that is inset inside (great idea), BUT the spacing and the plastic prong are off for the both types of GE Grounded Outlet. Look elsewhere for bathroom solutions. I know people have cut the prongs off, bent the blades to force it to work, etc., but no thank you. I found the old style bulky 3 outlet T-shaped plugs are much safer, and two of those give you the number of useful outlets without messing with the GFI, blades, or other adaptions for older buildings. I'll update this review annually after I've seen how durable it is, and adjust my rating up or down accordingly. If you found my review helpful, please check the helpful box. Thanks!

I may not have bought this at it's normal $10 price range. But, at the sale price of five Washingtons, it's a no-brainer if you need to expand your outlet's plug-in capacity. After receiving the first one and installing it, I checked to see if it was still on sale, and ordered another one. Was gonna get Wal mart dot com to price match. But, Amazon had free shipping with this unit. So, I just ordered another one. Thanks, Amazon. If one of your outlet sockets is switched on and off from the light switch, this adapter will not preserve the switching. It only plugs into one outlet (top outlet) and has a round plastic stud for the ground wire hole of the bottom socket for stability. It fits securely to the wall plate with the center screw. Removing the original wall plate from the outlet doesn't really save you much space. So, I suggest you just remove the short screw from the center and use the long screw that comes with the GE adapter to fix it securely to the outlet. I taped the short screw to the back of the wall plate so it wouldn't get lost, in case I ever decided to move the GE adapter. The GE Plug Adapter is attractive in it's design, expands the number of available sockets and is a good value at the regular price, but an especially good value at the sale price... with free shipping.

Funcionó correctamente solo q si un poco más grande de lo que esperaba

Simple, and extremely effective. It plugs into a standard North American double-socket (and mandatorily takes the place of both) and easily handles all manner of plugs. I have a mix of horizontal and vertical adapters plugged into mine, and there are no issues no matter their size. This is the only socket expander you'll need.

El plastico y los materiales se sienten de buena calidad para el precio bajo. El multicontacto enbona bastante bien en el enchufe, algo muy importante en esta clase de aparatos. Definitivamente una excelente opcion para convertir un enchufe de doble trifasico a multiple.

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).

Works great!
