Low profile fits behind our bookshelves, which are set away from the wall with the distance of the baseboard. Also don't have to worry about bumping into it and bending the prongs. Also like that it's off-set so you can plug in other things on the bottom. Be sure to get this one that has the 3rd ground plug rather than the cheaper one without the ground plug.

2.0 out of 5 stars Shape blocks the use of multiple outlets!!, April 5, 2011

Bottom line: If you need to extend one and only one plug from an outlet then I'm sure this will do the trick for you. Everyone else - stay away.

The design of the plug manages to block outlets whether they are located below or to the side of this plug. I needed to access both outlets - so I'm out of luck. While I appreciate the value of a flat-headed outlet plug, why in the world would you gerrymander it in such a way as to actually *block* the use of any other outlets? The picture suggests that it curves out of the way, but if you closely examine the size of the head, you'll see that two of these don't quite fit on a standard outlet. Maybe if you filed down the plug? But are you seriously going to damage a plug and then stick it behind furniture where you won't see if it's overheating?

I got several of these and am very disappointed that I cannot use two of these on a standard house outlet because one will always be blocking the other. I also can't use this on an electrical strip for the same reason. I even found an outlet strip oriented horizontally (plugs sideways) and the plug on these cords *still* manages to partly cover those up, too.

Very disappointing. These are useless to me and it's not worth returning. Maybe I'll use them in the shop, someday. Booooo!

Great extension cord since it is a flat plug which enables you to place furniture close to the wall. It also has a metal pull ring making it easy to remove the plug from the wall.
