Tools and Hardware Reviews of TRC 90511 Flatplug Ultra Thin Profile 3-Wire Cord 6-Foot 16/2-Inch, White
Customer Review: Perfect for behind furniture!
Summary: 5 Stars
This plug is great for a tight spot. We had a shelf we wanted to sit flush against the wall, but it was covering our only outlet. This plug is flat enough to fit behind furniture that needs to sit close to a wall. Very glad I found this product!Customer Review: Perfect!
Summary: 5 Stars
These flatplugs are excellent behind a large bookcase that needed to be pushed closer to the wall.Customer Review: Serviceable
Summary: 5 Stars
All-in-all, a serviceable product, made of high-quality materials, well designed, and for a reasonable price. I do wish they made one like this for outdoor use as well, but that doesn't stand in the way of recommending it to potential purchasers! It does just what it says it will do.
Customer Review: Shape blocks the use of multiple outlets!!
Summary: 2 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Stick it where the sun don't shine!
Summary: 5 Stars
Like behind a really big bookshelf or CD rack so you don't have to go through the hassle of moving the outlet or just abandoning it alltogether. I love these things and have several deployed around the house. Also, it's just plain great to not have plugs sticking out of the wall so that kids don't bonk into them and unplug things accidentally. Brilliantly simple invention!
