When this device is plugged in, does it cover up both plugs? (I want to be able to use one for power all the time)

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

On a standard outlet, if put into the bottom plug, extends downward leaving the top plug available for access with a standard plug. No room for a transformer type plug.

It has three prongs to be plugged in with a three hole outlet coming out the bottom. If you put it in the bottom outlet of the two in the wall, you should still be able to use the other as normal.

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.

I know this won't be helpful, but if it monitors power usage and finds nothing is in use, maybe it does. Even when it's plugged in the surge protector uses power. Unplug everything and see if it powers down.

Both outlets work on the same time. Don't buy it. I tried 2 of them and neither worked. Try a different brand.

No it does not. This is another reason I love this device. It is slim enough to use it in a wall plug and use the other plugin at the same time. Or you can use both wallplugs AND BOTH USB at the same time.

It just plugs into the wall, but you can only plug it into the top outlet, otherwise it will cover the one above it... But these stopped working shortly after I purchased them, so I'd recommend trying another manufacturer.

Will work while plugged in. Have not tried it, but sure it will both outlets at same time. We think this is a great battery.

Yes.....you can use both outlets when the 4 ports is plugged....really good product.

No their is not. It doesn't matter what wattage the device you wish to use as the main (as long as it's not something crazy ie high powered tools, generators etc that will fry the power strip) when you that device is turn the internal circuitry of the power strip will send a response to the other outlets telling them to turn on. If a some or all of your device are not turning on/off at the same time their is a small knob on the side of the strip where you can adjust + or - to make them all work. Most of the time you do not need to touch this as it's very sensitive to adjustments you make.

No it will only block one if you plug it into the top part of the standard outlet. Doing this will leave room for another plug in. However, if you plug it into the bottom socket then both will be covered. Works like a charm

depends......we have ours on the top outlet and it doesn't cover the bottom one. Now when it's pluged in the bottom one the charging cords pluged into it does block the top outlet.

The unit only covers a single outlet if you plug it in the top outlet of two outlets. It has 3-prongs, so you can't plug it upside down in the lower of two outlets.

Yes, The one unit covers both power and cable. IT is very simple to install, but you have to have knowledge of electrical service box. Don't attempt to install yourself if you have never worked with electrical circuits. It could be dangerous!

It actually fits very tightly in the outlet. It also take only one plug outlet and does not cover the second outlet on the wall plate. It saves us from using power strips which can sometime become unsightly.

I didn't have one. Sounds more like a power strip to me. I had the same equipment, each on its own adapter, outlet. I didn't have surge protection, it an was fine but could have been luck of the draw. If you want added peace of mind, then get it.

No plug covers. If you use this cable, one end is plugged in to the Battery Tender cable and the other is plugged into the vehicle. So, I don't see any need for a cover.

Yes it does. I would just recommend unplugging the unit when you are not using it. You are supposed to do that anyway even if it's plugged into a surge protector.

Barely. The second outlet is almost completely covered up by this huge device.
