Do you plug this into a vertical (2 outlets one on top of the other) or can you use it in an outlet that is horizontal (side by side outlets)???

It is designed to be plugged in to a vertical outlet. That way you can put you phone in the holder. Since I usually leave the phone flat on the counter, I think that the convenience of the USB outlet out weighs the fold out phone holder. My granddaughter's first comment on seeing it was "I have to get one for my college dorm".

You certainly should be able to mount this to a horizontal receptacle. I see no reason why that wouldn't work as long as the horizontal receptacle is the same as your vertical receptacles.

There's a little plastic peg that you could break off if you had to make it work in a side-by-side, but it isn't designed to be used with anything but a vertical double outlet. You couldn't put it on a double with a switch or get any use out of the cool flip down holsters in an upside-down outlet (but they make one that's almost identical, just without the holsters, that would work in that instance). Side-by-side aren't very common where I'm from... So, yes and no. It would "work", with slight modification, but you'd lose one of the biggest advantages (at least in my house, which I share with a toddler and three boisterous cats), which is that this unit comes with a screw so you can secure it to the outlet using the screw hole from the cover plate. This is especially handy because it keeps the unit from coming off the wall every time you unplug something. I never have to worry about visitors using it and losing power to my network by accident anymore!

We bought one from another online store and the outlet needs to be vertical. (one on top of the other). Every plug we have is vertical in the entire house. You "could' use it but it defeats the purpose of holding two phones off the counter to charge. It should be flipable to accommodate horizontal plugs. Seemly would work fine. Just check your outlets.

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 have mine installed horizontally, and it would be no issue mounting it vertically either. As long as itmounted "between" two studs, you could almost mount it anywhere.(and it sounds very good also)

Nope! The plug is a normal one and you should be able to use it in any outlet.

yes, you can. My wall outlet was also installed upside down so I had to plug mine in upside down. The "down side" is that you will see the phone cords now on the top and not the bottom.

Personally, I have had no issues with a Horizontal outlet. The design of the head is to fit snug in to any outlet without it coming out. Sometimes I need to make sure I put it in to make good contact, but once it is in....no problems. I use this in two different Jeeps and rental cars for work. Very handy for GPS.

you can use the socket that would be above or below however if you have a muliti pronged "cheater" socket, then it will take up a socket that would be beside the unit. it is fat and it is designed to be streamelined on one plane so it does not eat up the socket below. you don't have a choice which socket to use because it is polarity priority, becasue of the fatter prong that grounds it. hope this makes sense.

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!

So sorry, I bought this plug because I have a floor outlet and needed something that laid flat and the plugs could go into the sides so that they didn't stick up from the outlet. However I did check it and it would have to be plugged into the top outlet.

You can. It's 2 pronged and will fit any way you arrange it. I just tried to do it on my outlet.

When you plug this in it actually plugs into both the top and bottom outlet. Then when you want to plug something in you can plug it into any of the six outlets and it will work no matter if it's using the top or bottom outlet...this unit makes them all work at the same time. Hope this helps.

I just uploaded a photo showing standard US dual wall outlet plug clearance, when used in either the upper or lower plugs. Since the unit can be plugged in upside down as well, use as preferred (both male prongs are identical in size and have no grounding prong.) There is about 1/4 inch clearance between the edge of the unit and the spare wall outlet plug. See the picture on the product customer image page. Hope this helps.

Carly, it's a horizontal plug if I know what you are talking about; it has the two prongs side by side, not one on top of the other. We adore this nightlight :)

Adding to previous answers, just be aware the outlets are 'rotated' 90 degrees. Three prong plugs work great, but any power adapters will obstruct neighboring outlets.

An electrical receptacle can be used in any position, and it would work with this receptacle, but it would not be advisable to use this receptacle in a horizontal position because of the possible leakage of rain under the cover and into the receptacle.

Theres wire hangers on each side that should let u hang it vertically. I knw i would do it that way if i used lights like that. If u measure right u can use both hangers instead of letting it hang from the one which one should hold it just fine. Hopefully this answers your question. Feel free to ask any other questions if u need to.

there are two outlets on the bottom if its in hanging position next to the power in cord. they are tied together and not independent.
