Impressed with performance, even in sub-optimal configuration.

Pros:
Setup was simple, and the configuration/utility software was easy to use. I tested throughput first with both connected to the same outlet (via 1' extension cables) and the utility app reported ~1,800 Mbps. In the actual configuration they're used, which includes them being on separate circuits in the house, in addition to crossing a GFCI (!), throughput is still around 175 Mbps.
Cons:
It's a bit annoying that the ground plug of the upper wall socket is still somewhat obstructed. Ungrounded plugs will fit fine in the top socket, but depending on the shape and thickness of the plug, grounded cables may not. At least the pass-through guarantees you still have one usable grounded socket, but in my case I needed both on at least one end of the connection. I bought a couple sturdy 16 AWG 1-foot "outlet saver" grounded extension cables to go with them, and that makes it a non-issue.
Overall Review:
I'm using these to connect my media center to the rest of my home network, as running ethernet cable wasn't feasible and I didn't want to deal with wireless reception/congestion issues during media streaming. It's working perfectly for this. The remote connection serves a media PC, BluRay player, and network-enabled home theater receiver via an 8-port gigabit switch.
