Customer Reviews

DEFECTIVE! MISWIRED! SAFETY HAZARD!1
I bought four Y adapters from this seller, two of this ASIN (B000234UFG) and two of ASIN B000FPQO9Q. The four adapters are identical in appearance and have the same defect (described below), so the seller in my case definitely used a common make & model to fulfill orders for both ASIN's.

All four Y adapters are consistently miswired: Each connects the plug's HOT blade to the receptacles' NEUTRAL slots and the plug's NEUTRAL blade to the receptacles' HOT slot. This presents a genuine, 2nd-order safety hazard.

I discovered the defect on the first of the four adapters the hard way: by getting shocked! For the other three, I used a test meter to confirm that they were likewise miswired.

VERY BAD: neutral and hot sides are reversed!1
Be careful: This product has the 'neutral' and the 'hot' sides
reversed. Meaning, the receptacle is NOT following the spec
of a normal wiring. This could be very dangerous depending on
what you use this with.

Good design4
Works well, especially for anyone who still has their old console systems in use. I have my NES and SNES, both of which have huge AC adapters, plugged into this. It saves tons of space on my power strip.

The design is a little clumsy though, so it's only getting 4/5.
