Electrical outlet extenders, or adapters, allow you to plug more devices into a single outlet. However, they do not increase the outlet's capacity. In older California homes with limited circuits, using too many high-draw appliances on one extender can overload the wiring. It's often better to have additional outlets installed by a professional.
