Product Description
Power Sentry PowerSquid Power Multiplier - The PowerSquid expands upon the practical idea of your basic power strip. Instead of 5 outlets in a single hard plastic strip, the PowerSquid puts each outlet on it's own flexible cord! By doing this, you'll never again have a large AC adapter blocking empty outlets. The flexible cord design also makes it easy to accommodate complicated wiring situations.

 A useful power aid for computer users August 12, 2008
Albert Silverman (El Cajon CA, USA)
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.
 Recomend it instead of power strips July 26, 2008
Rossana De Acevedo (Miami, Florida)
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...!
Works great! May 11, 2008

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.

Handy to have when plugging in a bunch of cords with the transformers on the end.
Calamari strip - Very useful powerstrip March 5, 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 (if that is what you prefer-Target has it) if you shop around.
-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.
-For 2$ more you can buy their version that has a built-in surge protection.
