Awesome product!
I used this adapter near my fishtank as a safety precaution, in terms of the Ground Fault Interrupter.I also use one near the washing machine too. Anywhere water I near an electric outlet, I use these. Easier than installing a hard wired GFCI but seems just as effective

Great to have the extra outlets
Needed a few extra outlets in the bathroom. Wanted to make sure I still had GFCI protection. Would recommend.

Appears to work as intended
The main issue is one that is common among all multi plug outlet adapters. The outlets are too close together to plug in multiple transformer plugs at once. Additionally, there is no means of attaching the unit to the underlying outlet.

Works well but it’s pretty thick
The media could not be loaded. We don’t have a space constraint at our location, so the 7 inches or so of thickness that this takes once plugs are in there isn’t a problem. But be advised as it might for you. Also note how wide it is. That switch in the video next to it is for a garbage disposal. We have to ensure the plug is pulled out just a tad so that this rocker switch can be flipped on and off.

Must Use
IF you want a multiple outlet, this type is the only thing to use as it's a safety factor GFI, for Possible electrical Problem that a std circuit breaker doesn't shut off..

Ok, could be better
Pretty bulky and no screw to hold the adapter to the original outlet. But it works. A decent engineer would have designed it with a screw to hold it on

has stopped potential disasters.
Fantastic little thing to have in apartments that aren't up to code. any outlet with in 6ft of a water source needs to be a GCIF, but if it was built before that code standard was put in, they're untouchable until they decide to renovate. I keep saltwater aquariums, and I try to plug in next to the kitchen if I can, but it doesn't matter in our currently place, So I plugged in, and use this keep myself safe. one day, I had a fish splash above the water line... salt water... all over an outlet. needless to say this went off, turned my entire aquarium system off, but kept a potential electrical fire at bay.

LOUSY anchorage, which makes it unsafe, and looks chintzy, and found a better solution
(UPDATE: I've found a better solution to my situation: I removed my old GFCI duplex outlet, replaced it with regular duplex outlet, installed a non-GFCI six-outlet tap on top of that, then replaced the normal 20A breaker in my breaker box with a 20A GFCI breaker. The six-outlet tap has much better anchorage and snugs tight to the wall, and I'm still code compliant.)I read about this in the reviews and against my better judgement went ahead and bought it. Given my wiring situation and the fact that this seems to be the only device like this available, I had no choice.The problem: There are no screws of any kind to anchor this to your wall outlet. It relies entirely on the one receiving outlet and a feeble plastic peg to hold it in place. If you use only one hand to unplug anything from it the whole unit unplugs from the wall. Convenient, huh?So you're brushing you teeth and have wet hands and then have to use both hands to unplug your Water Pik, giving that hazard a perfect path through your heart... Am I the only one to see a lawsuit coming down the road for this manufacturer? And yet it's UL approved. (?)I did try to remedy the situation myself. The unit comes apart by unscrewing six screws (one of them a special no-tamper type which I happened to have the bit for). I don't recommend you do this because you will break a silicone seal on an internal compartment. Anyway, I was looking for a way I might be able to drill my own two screw holes and anchor via the tapped threads normally reserved for the wall plate (warranty be damned): There is just no clearance. One hole would have to go right thru a what looks like a capacitor. Likewise drilling for a center screw is out as well; the path for which is right through the main circuitry, not to mention the LED.I've never filed a complaint with UL before, but in this case I'll give it a try.A second objection is aesthetic: You must keep your original wall plate on. Without it, there will be an ugly gap at the top. Given this, the hole unit floats 1/8 inch away from the wall, which looks chintzy. I've seen other non-GFCI multi-outlets like this that do it right: They have a recess and you mount it without the wall plate, this way the perimeter shell of the outlet snugs nicely against the wall.I'm stuck with using this one now, but I will be continually looking for one that's better designed.

Not for expanding a GFCI outlet
Wanted this 5 outlet GFCI to expand a 2 outlet GFCI in the bathroom. Due to the plastic grounding pin located at the rear of this product it does not seat properly on a GFCI plug. It is designed to plug into a regular outlet. It works, however, with the grounding plug not fully inserted this outlet rocks side to side when plugging/ unplugging a device. This causes the expandable outlet to disconnect from the wall outlet. Not a huge deal if you are not constantly unplugging hair dryers etc. Maybe I missed it in the product description about the item not being designed to expand a current 2 plug GFCI.
