Does this block the other outlet receptacle?

I put it in the upper socket and the lower socket is totally accessible, however the other way around it would be blocking the other outlet.

I do not recommend purchasing these outlets because my experience with them was a negative one. Fortunately I was able to return them to Amazon for a complete credit since they did not work. Be forewarned and do not buy them.

Yes, it does. The only way around is to use an extension cord which I did degree I needed

Generally speaking the answer is NO it doesn't not block both sockets. The remote connection requires the top connection. If another plug is higher than just a simple plug like a lamp or iron, it will not fit below the remote control outlet. I love them as they save me a bit of traipsing back and forth turning lights on and off from my family room to thru the dn/lv room to my bedroom. Presently, I have a LR table lamp connected to the remote and plugged in Christmas lights in my windows below it. Hope this helps.

No. It is strictly a Surge Suppressor outlet. Think of it as a single outlet power strip with surge suppression.

Yes it does. It fits over the standard 2 outlet wall thing like in the picture.

It doesn't seem to block the upper outlet for a normal 3 prong grounded plug. A wall wart type plug might be a problem, but a normal plug fits in the upper outlet hole with the unit plugged in the lower hole. Oh, and it does work upside down, as elektrodragon mentions below. One of my outlets is switched, so I have it in the upper non switched outlet 'upside down' and a lamp plugged in the bottom outlet.

The second outlet is not blocked. I'm using the second outlet for my water cooler.

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.

Any other outlets feeding from this one, the other terminating end, will also be protected from this outlet.

Yes it does. Be careful as the plastic around the two mounting keyhole slots on mine is very thin. I broke through it when attaching this box to the existing outlet.

We used this on a double outlet and it works very well. We used a triple switch plate cover with a blank.

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 it does. I replaced all the receptacles in our camping trailer. Works great and easy to install

It does block the second outlet if you plug it into the top outlet. If you plug it into the bottom outlet it doesn't. Its not noisy at all.

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.

No, if you place it in the bottom portion of the electrical outlet it will not cover both outlets.

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

the off/on switch provides protection only to the outlet itself, if there are other outlets on the the same switch will not be protected.
