Umm IT Guy: And how would the twisty plug solve the problem. People who cannot bend to unplug cords would suddenly bend to twist it off?

I’d prefer a switch next to every outlet.

Those of you who think that all electric outlets are mounted at a convenient height have obviously never lived outside of Argleton. In the US and Canada, most outlets are near the floor, making it difficult for the elderly and people with back trouble to plug in and unplug cords. Only in kitchens are the outlets likely to be above the countertop. Putting a “lamp switch” on a low-mounted outlet would accomplish little or nothing.

I’m surprised at the number of negative comments…’cos my first reaction was “I like it!”
Sure, it’s not like you can’t live without it…but still, I like it! lol

Not practical for the above-mentioned points and a few others:

a) It displaces 2 outlets for one.
b) Cannot be used with a power bar.
c) Producing it is creates unnecessary waste. I don’t foresee a widespread need for this product in it’s current form, but perhaps the application could be used in other ways.

Indeed, this is not a practical thing at all given the number of existing alternatives and the need to keep the plug exposed at all times to gain the expected benefit.

As a decorative item, I give it points.
