If used in a (US) standard outlet, does it block the second plug - can something else be plugged into the other receptacle at the same time?

If plugged into the bottom outlet, it leaves the top outlet open, well so long as the receptacle is mounted with the ground on the bottom

No, you have the ability to place it in the plug so the other outlet is not blocked. This is a great charger btw, super fast!

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.

when inserting a plug, make sure that both prongs go in at the same time. there is a plastic gate of sorts just inside the openings that need to be opened at the same time. this protects against insertion of items such as a paper clip or a butter knife into one side of the outlet.

depends......we have ours on the top outlet and it doesn't cover the bottom one. Now when it's pluged in the bottom one the charging cords pluged into it does block the top outlet.

This is just like any other 120V receptacle. It can be linked to another recessed outlet in parallel the same way you connect normal wall receptacles together on the same circuit. If that isn't clear to you, review a how-to guide on housewiring. Not that hard, just keep in mind the other loads on the circuit so you don't overload the breaker.

Yes it does block both outlets, I have mine on a power strip. It's sister, the 402A does not cover both outlets.

Gary, this plugs into a double outlet covering the two sets of plug-ins and the six new ones are on either side but I do not know if one side is controlled by one plug or not. Since it probably cannot be plugged in without covering both outlets, I can't say. if one of your outlets is bad or not working, I do not know if this one will give you three or six or none at all.

Plug is not polarized; it can go either direction in the outlet. The plug size is not a problem; I am able to plug other things in the other outlet.

You can ignore the "Yes" answers because they don't cover both outlets on a standard wallplate unless you have no imagination. Plug the light into the top outlet and the bottom outlet is available, though you may have to bend down to see what you're doing when plugging something in. Even easier, turn the light upside down and plug into the bottom outlet. Problem solved.

on the plug I have when its plugged into the lower outlet the top one is still usable for a standard plug, as for protection a dishwasher not sure about that.

Nope it doesn't allow for two outlets or two devices to charde at the same time, because each kind of connector are plugged into each othe to allow for multiple connectors to be packed in it

It has three prongs to be plugged in with a three hole outlet coming out the bottom. If you put it in the bottom outlet of the two in the wall, you should still be able to use the other as normal.

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.

No this will not block the top outlet. I plug all mine into the bottom to leave my top free for something else.

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.

I can't give a definitive answer on that questions since power bricks come in various sizes. I have 2 on on mine and they don't block the outlet next to them.
