Should these be used with outlet covers or without? We have a home with standard receptacles and plastic covers that go into the slots now.

This one has plastic inside that is pushed aside by a plug, but when the plug is out it covers the two hot slots so it should prevent a child from getting shocked.

I would say no The plugs are not shielded they are plastic.so they would not.

Well, I use them leaving them on the computers. They appear to be thin enough to exchange heat.. BTW, I used to use my computers with the heavier covers on, and had no ill effect. I am on the coast in CA so it doesn't get really hot here, so you will need to use your best judgement. :)

Take the existing cover plate off and use the screw holes in the new unit to attach the new unit to the existing receptacle. It's an easy, solid, and straightforward install. You won't have any trouble in a standard outlet. Plus, it comes with instructions.

The simple answer is yes. My house had the typical flat cover outside outlets and these covers allow attaching power cords while still maintaining weather sealing. In my case for a pond aerator and a heated pad for an outside kitty.

No. unless that outlet controlled other outlets that should be gfi protected such as ones close to water like the sink

Mine came with a long screw to replace the screw on the outlet cover so that this item can't get accidentally pulled out of the outlet. I'm sure you can just plug it in and use it if the screw is missing.

Leave the cords in, but only use cords with right angle plugs, so you don't put your eye out.

The pretty much cover the switch box. If you plug them in on the bottom socket it is still possible to get a small headed plug in the upper socket.

I don't see why not.. I've never tried it that way.. My electrical outlets utilize only one center screw to hold its protective wall cover..

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.

Our outdoor plugins have a flip up cover so it doesn't look like a outlet. All ours are pretty low to the ground so we used a really long outdoor extension cord to ours by our front door.

This is only a cover. You take the cover plate off an existing outlet and add this cover. BTW Amazon's Product Description says "The TayMac weatherproof plastic in-use cover (16 in 1) deep horizontal/vertical configuration in clear MM510C safely covers any electrical outlet in seconds. The patented Multi-Mac features our Universal Fit system which enables you to use the same product for all types of receptacles."

Yes, but it is kind of chunky so unless you put it at the end, it'll cover up another outlet on the strip. Make sure it's a strip with the 3 holes for each plug, not 2.

The caps remove completely when using outlet. However - they stay in place when outlet is not in use.

2 outlets on one side that have a cover for it and 1 outlet on the other side that does not have a cover

Well, while the packaging does not specifically say it fits European, it does say "any open socket". But as I look at pictures of European electrical outlets, I'm pretty sure these are NOT the outlet covers for you. These have two parallel, rectangular prongs.
