Could i plug two of these into one outlet? In other words when plugged into the top outlet is the bottom outlet blocked by the first one?

You can plug two of these into a standard two outlet wall connection. Not sure about a power strip.

Hi I believe it will work with two on an outlet. I don't have two to try it, but the design is SLIM. For the price its feasible to purchase two just because the cords are handy. But of course that's up to you. Good luck, hope I've helped.

I am not sure, but if you couldnt just plug both ports, it probably means it isnt possible, since there is a single "on" switch...

Yes if u plug it in the top one but plug it in the bottom and you have 3 plugs to use 2 in the belkin and one wall outlet. Nice item to have

On the back side there is one 3-prong plug, so it would not fit into a 2-prong (non-grounded) outlet.

Only one of the outlets is controlled by z-wave. The other acts as a normal receptacle which is always on.

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

No you can plug it in to the top socket so the other one is still accessible.

Yes, I just went into the living room to double-check. There is plenty of room to plug a standard plug into the lower outlet. I doubt if you would have room to put a second one of these switches in there though.

In one of those photos at Amazon, the AmerTec is plugged into the bottom outlet and is blocking the top one. Since the distance between the bottom of the light and the prongs is about ¼ inch, it can be plugged in and not block the other outlet below it if it is in the top outlet or above it if it is plugged into the lower outlet (upside down). If it is plugged into an ordinary, flat 6-outlet wall tap, it would block the adjacent outlet.

If you plug into a wall socket you can use the second wall socket with no issue. If you plug it into a power strip it will take up two spots unless you use the very last one on the end of the power strip. Hope this helps :)

Same response as the other one. It plugs into the top and bottom and then gives you six outlets. Works just great.

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

You can plug it into the lower plug and still have access to the upper one - HOWEVER, may I suggest that you read some of the 1 star reviews before getting one of these things.

It would depend on what you want to plug into the top socket, as bigger plugs might not fit, but no it doesn't officially take up both sockets (I can plug two prong plugs in the top socket but not bulky three prongs)

I have not used them yet, but looking at them, each will only use one outlet. You will still be able to use the other outlet.

It does block it if you put it on the top outlet but if you use it on bottom one it won't block the top one. But there's also the 3 outlet surge protector if you need more outlets and will also work with the washers because it has the same delay cycle.

In my house, they block both outlets on normal receptacles, but not on GFCI receptacles(the ones with the test/reset buttons). On GFCI receptacles, plug into the top outlet and there will be room to plug something into the bottom outlet.
