Great but bulky - Carol S. Jackson, Dec 28, 2008

The PowerSquid is great for certain situations, but if you don't have much room to hide it behind a desk, for example, it can become a large tangled mess of cords. While there are advantages to having separate outlets, keep in mind that it takes up much more horizontal space than a traditional power strip. You can bend the arms vertically but they will not easily stay in position because they aren't very flexible.

Good design, cord too short. - a10thunder, Apr 10, 2008

This is a simple and elegant design. The only drawback for this particular model is the 4' cord length from the wall outlet, I found it to be too short for most applications in my house.

Very Useful Powerstrip - it's a calamari. - Nuknuk, Mar 06, 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 (Just saw it recently at Target)
-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.
-No built-in surge protection.

Functions as advertised - Alan Isham, Jan 20, 2008

My internet connected weather station and network cameras require about 20 plug-in's in my home office. With so many large power transformers, this was the only cable, power management solution that would work for me.

Saves space! - Microapplications Inc., Nov 30, 2007

This is a rock-solid solution for all those dongles sitting behind your computer and network gear. I bought three: one for server area, one for workstation area, and one for laptop area.
