The receiver looks kinda big. Does it hinder access to one of the outlets in the typical 2-outlet box?

The switch is independent of any box. The receiver part plugs into an outlet & is a little large. However, if plugged into the upper socket of a 2-outlet box, most of it sticks above the box and does not block the lower socket. One point I must make is that the outlet on the receiver is only for a 2-prong plug and has no ground. I had to use a 3-prong adapter to plug in a grounded plug and ground the adapter to the outlet box.

Barely. The second outlet is almost completely covered up by this huge device.

You will need an oversized electrical box it will not fit in a standard box

The receiver fits in a standard backbox like a standard switch and fits in any standard decorator cover plate (Single, double, triple etc. ) with other decorator switches. The transmitter is surface mounted and the mounting plate occupies the whole back of the cover, so you could not fit it next to a pair of switches and cover all three with a combined cover plate. It will accommodate any typical decorator style "single" decorator switch cover plate if you don't want to use the one in the box.

I'm able to plug in a three prong (grounded extension cord) in the other outlet. It's a tight fit.

It will fit in a standard, but a deep box is better. The holes are the standard distance as in a duplex receptacle.

No a receiver cannot go on both ends, there is no hole for the pin to go through.

I placed my receiver in a 2 gang box with its own plate so don't see why you couldn't place it in a 3 gang.

It actually fits very tightly in the outlet. It also take only one plug outlet and does not cover the second outlet on the wall plate. It saves us from using power strips which can sometime become unsightly.

The unit is fairly wide and deep. There might not be enough space to acccomodate the units and all the wires for more than one unit. I have them installed in 2 gang boxes.

Yes to the first question. The second -- it won't take up both outlet if you put it in the upper outlet and use a regular plug on the bottom outlet. I like it a lot.

Yes, it can. The chord is short. If you need to move the receiver further away from the floor outlet, and extension cord works fine.

Yes, the other outlet is left open for another grounded plug. The prongs on back mirror the slots on the front as far as placement is concerned, although stacking modules isn't advised.

No.. u can either use the top outlet and have it up leaving the lower socket accessible or vice versa. No obstruction at all

It is very inconvenient used with the laptop. You have to be very careful not to break it off. I recommend one with a shorter receiver.

No it will only block one if you plug it into the top part of the standard outlet. Doing this will leave room for another plug in. However, if you plug it into the bottom socket then both will be covered. Works like a charm

It may depend on how your outlet is configured. All of my outlets are horizontal with the two prong and ground holes facing the same direction. I have the Surge Protector on the right side (maybe your top outlet), and there is enough room for another three prong (grounded) plug to fit in the left side (maybe your bottom outlet). In your scenario, this is assuming that the third prong (grounded) hole is on the bottom for each outlet. Now if you are only plugging in a two prong in the other outlet, this appears to be a non-issue. Hope this helps!
