4.0 out of 5 stars Calamari strip - Very useful powerstrip, March 5, 2008

Pros:
-The main problem with conventional power strips is that once you start plugging those power adapters that come with your gadgets, one of those alone can take up 2 to 3 outlets in shear space. With these, you can plug up to 5 individual adapters. If that is your case, then this is very useful to you.
-You can buy it in pure all-white (if that is what you prefer-Target has it) if you shop around.
-the main cord (not shown) that you attached to the wall is quite long which allows you more flexibility in reach.

Cons:
-You may think first that it is unique, strange and even a conversational piece, but after that and having given it a second look, it does not look as pleasing as you would like it to be. Particularly if you have 5 power adapters attached to it. It is also huge.
-For 2$ more you can buy their version that has a built-in surge protection.

5.0 out of 5 stars Take care of those space-hungry power supplies, March 8, 2007

It seems like every electronic gadget comes with a power supply that has a bulky plug that occuplies at least two plug-in spaces on your power strip. The squid is the answer. Now you can plug your power supplies in, one per outlet. This device is well worth the money in simplifying the tangle under you desk.

4.0 out of 5 stars does the job, November 23, 2007

The Power sentry does the job as advertised. It is more bulky than the photographs would suggest. These also have a "plasticky" smell to them, which can't be good for you to breathe in. After a few days, the off-gassing subsides and you have an inert piece of plastic doing its job - distributing power receptacles so that variations in power cords can be addressed adequately.
