does this surge strip have a flat plug? we want to find an eco-friendly surge strip that will fit behind our dresser, and the space is tight.

Not a flat plug. Regular plug sticks out a minimum of 2 inches, probably 2 1/2 so the cord can bend.

No, it does not have a flat plug. But I am willing to live with it because of the convenience of being able to have all of those on/off switches!!!

This has a "normal" plug and because it is a heavy duty cord it takes more room to bend and go up/down instead of out. This is a very high quality product and I haven't seen any flat plugs in existence that didn't look at least a little cheap.

You can get a Hug-A-Plug Dual Outlet Wall Adapter from Amazon that will run the cord flat to the wall instead of sticking out.http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CFQET7MAC

Unfortunately not, the plug is standard and requires room so the cord won't be pinched.

The answer is no. It has the standard 3-prong plug. It worked OK for me, but I let the furniture stay out from the wall a bit. The unit is just great otherwise. I would buy a 90 deg. replacement plug and exchange it.

No, it does not have a flat plug. But it is a great surge protector anyways.

No, it has a standard plug. If you can't find one that does, just get a replacement flat plug at Home Depot and cut the standard plug off and install the flat one.

So sorry, I bought this plug because I have a floor outlet and needed something that laid flat and the plugs could go into the sides so that they didn't stick up from the outlet. However I did check it and it would have to be plugged into the top outlet.

I reread the description and don't know where you got that idea but there is a standard plug which you DO plug into a 120v standard outlet. I used them last year. Nice and bright and if its too long for your space, just double back once you get to the end.

It does have a wide opening to allow any plug in. I wouldn't think you'd have a problem - besides, you can always return it if it doesn't work -hope this helps.

No surge protection but excellent multi-plug that installs flat with the wall...

I think it says not to so I juggled my outlets around and did it without using a strip,then I did plug one into an outlet extender which is essentially a power strip at the wall outlet. It's been fine.

Becky, it's a grounded (3-prong) plug on the back and it rotates to lie flush/flat on the back, so it doesn't protrude until you need it. It's not in the middle of the back, but it's behind the end where the USB grounded/protected outlets are located. Unfortunately, if you stay in an older hotel that only has the double slots, it can't fit. On the other hand, I think the grounded 3rd prong provides more safety, which I'm sure you'd want, since it's a surge protected outlet you'd be purchasing.

While I didn't see info. saying it wouldn't cover such appliances, these surge protectors are way too small for use with heavy draw appliances like ACs, refrigerators, space heaters, and big microwaves.

Yes they do. It's designed so that if you plug it in to the lower of 2 outlets the top one won't be '"covered" and can still be used.

No, but it if sits below the countertop, the outlets are hidden. If it sits above for most of the time you can plug in outlet covers.

No, not a flat plug. I have seen similiar outlets (not brown) with the flat plug, you just have to look around for them.

The plus is not flat, but it is not a standard plug either. It is shaped like a small egg and the cord comes out the side of the plug it does work nicely behind a sofa or desk. Here is another image so that you can see what it looks like:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16812120807

No. This is a power strip. Just like so many others, it lays on the floor under a desk or table, but it does make clustering of different size plugs very easy.

There is approximately one inch depth in the bottom compartment so, no, I don't believe a surge protector would fit if all cords were plugged in. I have mine tucked between this and a wall so it is hidden for the most part.

It does not have a flat plug. For a clever design like this, kind of disappointed it doesn't ship with a flat plug. I purchased a 6" extension from a local store that has a flat plug and use that with it.

No, this is made for clamping to a desk. If you need one that sits on a flat surface, consider purchasing a normal non-desk mounted surge protector.

If I remember correctly, it just plugs in. I use it behind refrigerator and have had no problems. I will probably purchase another one for behind my large oak desk.
