Does this unit block both receptacles in an outlet when plugged in? Will I still have access to the 2nd receptacle in a single gang box?

It only blocks the receptacle it is plugged into, you may have to put it on the bottom to access the top one.

I bought 2, and within 2 weeks both broke. I called Stanley and they couldn't care less. Don't buy it. Try the one from Woods, they work great

You won't like this timer. They don't last, and the digital display is so tiny you need a good manifying glass or a jewelers eye loupe to see the numbers.

It is very close. You will have to use to bottom receptacle. You should be able to plug in with a two prong plug but a three prong plug might not be able to access the receptacle.

Not if you plug the Belkin in the bottom outlet. You can still use the top outlet without interference from the Belkin. If you plug it on the top, then, yes, it will block the bottom outlet. I've had no problems with it, and the Belkin has its own outlets on each side, so when plugged in the bottom, I end up with 3.

Generally speaking the answer is NO it doesn't not block both sockets. The remote connection requires the top connection. If another plug is higher than just a simple plug like a lamp or iron, it will not fit below the remote control outlet. I love them as they save me a bit of traipsing back and forth turning lights on and off from my family room to thru the dn/lv room to my bedroom. Presently, I have a LR table lamp connected to the remote and plugged in Christmas lights in my windows below it. Hope this helps.

yes, I am using one of them on a double outlet, and the second outlet is left accessible.

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

In one of those photos at Amazon, the AmerTec is plugged into the bottom outlet and is blocking the top one. Since the distance between the bottom of the light and the prongs is about ¼ inch, it can be plugged in and not block the other outlet below it if it is in the top outlet or above it if it is plugged into the lower outlet (upside down). If it is plugged into an ordinary, flat 6-outlet wall tap, it would block the adjacent outlet.

YES,it has a second plastic ground prong to help hold it in place with a double outlet and you can just clip or break it off and it will work fine in a single outlet.

What I've noticed is that brass floor outlet covers are not exactly the same from brand to brand. so those holes differ. But yes, the outlet goes in a single gang box.

The manufacturer of this product suggest that only one unit to an outlet, because your outlet's circuit breaker for that plug outlet may not berated for that much wattage. Plugging two of these units may cause your circuit breaker to trip or over heat. Or if you have fuse they may over load and blow.

The inlet prongs are near the bottom. It could be plugged into the top outlet of a 2 outlet wall unit and it does not block the bottom outlet socket.

no it does not block the outlet. the USB ports are located on the top when you plug it in so you will want it in the top outlet.

Yes and No. There is only one plug on a single end. It has both a male and a female receptacle, so you can plug up to two together, but no more.

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.

Hello! Thanks for the quesiton. These units do not cover both sockets. The plug is at the bottom of the unit. We have our light plugged in to the top socket in our outlet leaving the bottom one free. Hope that helps.

It does block the second outlet if you plug it into the top outlet. If you plug it into the bottom outlet it doesn't. Its not noisy at all.

Only one of the outlets is controlled by z-wave. The other acts as a normal receptacle which is always on.
