Works great! [Posted on 2008-05-11]
Hang it on the wall or lay it on the floor. It looks a bit unwieldy, but having the flexibility to move the plug where you want it is a real spacesaver.

Recomend it instead of power strips [Posted on 2008-07-26]
Fast delivery, well packaged, very convenient product. Most of small appliances come with bulky power adapters to convert from 110 or 220 to 12v DC or similar. The problem with power strips is that the can only receive 2 or 3 maximum of these bulky power adapters. This is where the squid saves the day...!

A useful power aid for computer users [Posted on 2008-08-12]
I have several external USB computer devices whose power supply is a small black box that plugs directly into a 120 volt power outlet. Hence I need a multiple-outlet extension for handling these devices. Commonly a multiple-outlet surge strip is used for such a purpose. However, when the small power supply is directly plugged into one of the outlets on the typical surge adapter, the little black box may block the use of the some of the outlets on the adapter.

The advantage of the PowerSquid is that five of these power supplies may be plugged into the squid-like arms, thus eliminating the problem that occurs with a straight-line, multiple-outlet extension (either with or without surge protection). Currently each accessory that is plugged into this PowerSquid contains a power supply with the power plugs attached directly to the power supply.

The only disadvantage of this unit, apart from its relatively high price, is its size. But I find that this is a small "con", given its very special functionality.

Every find yourself trying to plug something in however being blocked by another plug that happens to be cumbersome but equally important? Then you juggling between plugs like some sort of jerk who can't decide what's needed and whats not.
First, never take on a profession where multiple people's lives hang in the balance. It already seems you don't work well with those sort of choices.
Second, but this plug. It had five outlets. The cord is very long, and then the little tentacles fit everything. I bought two or three. Don't rememeber. either way. I have one.

Does waht it says [Posted on 2008-11-23]
The powersquid is great for plugging in power bricks which don't fit on a regular power strip.
