Customers have different views on the size of the electrical outlet.

The backside is larger than a standard plug, which some customers feel causes issues with the receptacle having enough room for it to go in.

- Reviewed in Canada on July 1, 2016Verified PurchaseExcellent outlet, great quality and very easy to install (If you don't know how to install an outlet, do not attempt! Call an Electrician).
Pros:
Great quality
Easy install (Has small holes to insert the conductor, and then a set screw on the side)
Fit and finish is nice, doesn't stand out like a sore thumb
Cons:
Has those tamper resistant covers, so sometimes plugging in a device can be an issue
Not capable of being used a split receptacle (I had a feeling but wasn't sure)
- Reviewed in Canada on September 14, 2016Verified PurchaseThe product claims to be able to charge tablets, all of which require minimum 2a charging current. It does not charge my Samsung Galaxy Tab S2. Clearly the '3.1a' rating is the combined total of the two USB outlets meaning only 1.55a available from each. Hence they will not charge the tablet.
However, it is well made and easy to install if you are comfortable with home receptacle wiring.
Sadly, it does not live up to the advertised promise. Too many USB chargers fail in this respect.
- Reviewed in Canada on January 8, 2023Verified PurchaseLoved that it charges so well - no problems at all - love it and doesn't stick out but is almost flush
- Reviewed in Canada on November 25, 2017Verified PurchaseI bought three of these and they are a fairly good product. The one downside is that they back side is quite a bit larger than a standard plug and I had a few receptacles that were too crowded or small to fit. If not for this small problem, (which was fixed by going to a different location), I would give it 5 stars. Not a big deal though.
Obviously I picked these up for charging my phone and ipad and these work great. They charge quickly and can run both USB ports at the same time. I would definitely purchase this again.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 24, 2017Verified PurchaseThis outlet seems a good idea, but it failed very quickly. After a few months of use it now cannot charge a USB device. My Iphone beeps as if it is starting to charge, then stops charging, then beeps to signal a start of charge, and on and on. My guess is that the first moment of the charge pulls the voltage/current down enough that the iphone drops it, then the voltage goes up, the iphone recognizes it... Basically it is a very expensive power outlet.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 11, 2017Verified PurchaseThis outlet barely fits. It is too wide and deep. There are other models with usb's closer to the center that don't take up as much room. I ended up buying these a second time just to make them match but i don't recommend them.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 30, 2016Verified Purchasethis seems great, only thing was I had 2 circults in my kitchen and had to chop it down to one to accommodate this plug. If you want to run in your kitchen just be prepared you might lose a circuit which means you can run less appliances.
Seems to charge really quick though
I tested it against another USB plug I have installed
this one charges my iphone 5s at 10-12% in a 10 minute period.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 17, 2019Verified PurchaseWorks exactly as advertised. Great buy.
