Does the outlet unit take up the entire wall outlet - or - does it leave the second wall plug-in outlet accessible to plug in something else?

You can plug something in above it, as long as it doesn't have an oversized plug (ie ac adaptor). A standard plug usually fits fine.

The outlet unit only takes one outlet. I often have another appliance in the other and there is plenty of space. I have been using for a week and still very happy with the performance.

If you plug it into the bottom plug you can use the top plug-in, It also works if plugged into a powerstrip.

The plug is at one end of the unit, so you can plug it into the lower socket, leaving the upper socket free with plenty of space for a second plug. I am very impressed with these, very good performance and value.

The is the new version that only takes up one outlet leaving the remaining outlet free. I currently cannot attest to the size of the plug that will fit in the second outlet since I had not needed to plug anything else into the wall outlet. The units also work with surge protector strips. So if the plug size is an issue when plugged into the wall, the unit can be plugged into an extension strip and used that way with no problem. The unit will however cover up the plug opening next to it on the strip. You should be able to fit at least three units on a six outlet strip if needed.

No. It only provides multiple outlets from one wall outlet. I used it to connect multiple devices to power at a work station. I used a battery backup system to provide surge isolation.

What I have here is a one that goes into a two socket outlet.I hope that helps you.

I'm sorry, I don't remember if it can be separated from the outlet. This was on a piece of equipment that I no longer own.

I don't know. I plugged mine into the wall and it works great. I took up more than the single space in the outlet so I ran an extension cord to the other space in the outlet.

No, the outlet does not need to be visible. It will even work through walls.

This is just a plug multiplier. While the faceplate is removed the outlet remains. Where the screw in the center of your faceplate holds the faceplate in place the outlet multiplier screws in place to hold is so it doesn't come out when you unplug something.

No Sir... Once plugged in, it does not take up any room whatsoever. I do not use the extension.

It was a tight fit, but I was able to insert a 3 pronged plug into the second wall outlet. A 2 pronged plug should fit nicely.

Since it doesn't have a 3rd prong you can face it whatever direction you want. I have it on the front end end of my power strip with the USB port facing the same way as the power cord and it doesn't get in the way of any other outlets. If you turn it the other way or put it in the middle of the power strip it will take up two outlets worth of room. I hope this was helpful.

It has room for a single plug to go into it. And it sticks out from the wall about 2", NOT including whatever you plug into it. I will upload a photo of it plugged into the wall receptacle. It is the white plug in the photo. edit: Well apparently, Amazon.com does not want me to add my own image to this product. What I WILL say, is that the photo is deceiving, in that it sticks out from the wall much more than the product photo shows.

Electric plug; however the power supply that gets plugged in has a little pull away connector so you can basically unplug the unit to wash, etc... without having to take the power supply out of the wall.

It's the three prong, so you definitely need an outlet that can accommodate it (or an adapter). These are so convenient. I like them because I have several very large plugs that take up half the outlet and so I can't use all of the plug holes. By using one of these, none of the outlets are covered up anymore by the large ones.

It plugs into the wall you need an outlet relatively near by, it does not go voer an outletit hs a plug about 2+ feet long, PS i love mine it frees up counter space and shuts off automatically

In response to your question, you've probably found this out already, but for everyone else out there: this covers up both plugs. I found a review for the 3 pack version of this product where they said that it does cover up the other plug. So, you'll probably need one of those "plug expanders" for the wall plug so you can plug in more than one thing to the wall.

Another answer is correct also. Unless you have a divided duplex (where there are two circuits in one outlet), the entire duplex and connected items are all served by the one surge protector up to its electrical limits.
