Will this block the top plug if plugged into the bottom?

No this will not block the top outlet. I plug all mine into the bottom to leave my top free for something else.

The email was unclear if it was asking if the device blocks a plug or if I knew the answer. The smart switch plug doesn't block the other plug in an outlet box if placed correctly. My outlets are flipped so I had to plug it into the top outlet, but the bottom outlet is still fully accessible

No. It plugs into the bottom with no issues. Unless you have an abnormally large plug.

on the plug I have when its plugged into the lower outlet the top one is still usable for a standard plug, as for protection a dishwasher not sure about that.

Good question! The prongs are on the lower half of the back of the unit just as the input holes are in front. Therefor, if the unit is plugged in the top socket, the bottom socket is unimpeded.

No it does not block the second plug in the outlet. It's very compact and well made and I'm glad I purchased this to keep my refrigerator safe.

No it will not. But you should be able direct it to what is actually plugged in.

It is large and will cover two sockets, the plug is on the bottom so it blocks both wall receptacles. If you use a special against the wall plug it might be usable.

No, the top outlet is not blocked when plugged into the bottom receptical of the outlet. A great reliable product for home use. The foldin plug makes it good for travel.

Not if you want the "n" button on the bottom, otherwise the screen will rotate so you can have the plug at the top.

There is approximately one inch depth in the bottom compartment so, no, I don't believe a surge protector would fit if all cords were plugged in. I have mine tucked between this and a wall so it is hidden for the most part.

The plug is about 2 and 1/2 inches, so yes, it would over lap 2 outlets. I have mine on the bottom outlet and works just fine. listening to it now.

It comes out the backside of the strip after looking at your question again if the plugs were facing me the wire is on the top i would not think you would have a problem.

Yes they do. It's designed so that if you plug it in to the lower of 2 outlets the top one won't be '"covered" and can still be used.

Also....should have told you that if you plug it into the bottom...you can still use the top.

No, I have it plugged in on the top (upside down) so the cables come in that direction. The bottom outlet is open and being used.

Mine is in the bottom slot with the top slot free. As long as you have clearance from surfaces it will. The plug covers 2" on the earth pin side and 1/2" on the pin side with the outlet plug on the side.

You plug it into the TOP outlet and the bottom outlet is still available. Plug it into the bottom outlet and it will COVER the top outlet as well. FYI: We use this to turn off a major appliance during PEAK times .. it has worked great and without fail.
