Durable adapter, works well and affordable.
This Auto-Reset 15 AMP Grounded 3-Prong GFCI 5-Outlet Adapter works well. It fits perfectly into the electric socket. It appears to be well made and durable. It is an affordable price and I bought two of the same adapters. I am very satisfied.

It is very nice and works extremely well
I like the size and the convenience of all the outlets. The only thing that I would like it better is if it had the slot for the screw in the center so that it could be actually attached to the electric plug.

Works well but it’s pretty thick
The media could not be loaded. We don’t have a space constraint at our location, so the 7 inches or so of thickness that this takes once plugs are in there isn’t a problem. But be advised as it might for you. Also note how wide it is. That switch in the video next to it is for a garbage disposal. We have to ensure the plug is pulled out just a tad so that this rocker switch can be flipped on and off.

Sensitive to switch
Great for my application in a basement with musical instruments. It will trip if a connected power strip is used as a switch. But just push the button and your back in business and safe.

A real asset in an older home
Like many older homes, most of my electrical outlets are not grounded. That does not, despite what some say, make them inherently unsafe, but it does complicate things (and the invariable suggestion "get an electrician to rewire" is great -- let me just a sell of the many gold bars I keep on hand for petty cash). A GFCI outlet is not the same as a grounded outlet, but it provides a huge increase in safety. Having a two-prong (ungrounded outlet) adapter you can just plug in is an amazing convenience. And so far I've bought three of them!

LOUSY anchorage, which makes it unsafe, and looks chintzy, and found a better solution
(UPDATE: I've found a better solution to my situation: I removed my old GFCI duplex outlet, replaced it with regular duplex outlet, installed a non-GFCI six-outlet tap on top of that, then replaced the normal 20A breaker in my breaker box with a 20A GFCI breaker. The six-outlet tap has much better anchorage and snugs tight to the wall, and I'm still code compliant.)I read about this in the reviews and against my better judgement went ahead and bought it. Given my wiring situation and the fact that this seems to be the only device like this available, I had no choice.The problem: There are no screws of any kind to anchor this to your wall outlet. It relies entirely on the one receiving outlet and a feeble plastic peg to hold it in place. If you use only one hand to unplug anything from it the whole unit unplugs from the wall. Convenient, huh?So you're brushing you teeth and have wet hands and then have to use both hands to unplug your Water Pik, giving that hazard a perfect path through your heart... Am I the only one to see a lawsuit coming down the road for this manufacturer? And yet it's UL approved. (?)I did try to remedy the situation myself. The unit comes apart by unscrewing six screws (one of them a special no-tamper type which I happened to have the bit for). I don't recommend you do this because you will break a silicone seal on an internal compartment. Anyway, I was looking for a way I might be able to drill my own two screw holes and anchor via the tapped threads normally reserved for the wall plate (warranty be damned): There is just no clearance. One hole would have to go right thru a what looks like a capacitor. Likewise drilling for a center screw is out as well; the path for which is right through the main circuitry, not to mention the LED.I've never filed a complaint with UL before, but in this case I'll give it a try.A second objection is aesthetic: You must keep your original wall plate on. Without it, there will be an ugly gap at the top. Given this, the hole unit floats 1/8 inch away from the wall, which looks chintzy. I've seen other non-GFCI multi-outlets like this that do it right: They have a recess and you mount it without the wall plate, this way the perimeter shell of the outlet snugs nicely against the wall.I'm stuck with using this one now, but I will be continually looking for one that's better designed.

Works perfectly, easy to use
Used for added protection in old apartment. I use it to protect my computer and TV since some outlets arent grounded properly. While it doesnt fix the ground issue, it adds protection that would otherwise not be present. Worth it for the peace of mind in the unexpected case of a surge.

Reliable, with 5 outlets.
This product is very reliable, have had one for a few years with no trouble. Always keep a couple on hand just in case.

Not for expanding a GFCI outlet
Wanted this 5 outlet GFCI to expand a 2 outlet GFCI in the bathroom. Due to the plastic grounding pin located at the rear of this product it does not seat properly on a GFCI plug. It is designed to plug into a regular outlet. It works, however, with the grounding plug not fully inserted this outlet rocks side to side when plugging/ unplugging a device. This causes the expandable outlet to disconnect from the wall outlet. Not a huge deal if you are not constantly unplugging hair dryers etc. Maybe I missed it in the product description about the item not being designed to expand a current 2 plug GFCI.
