Review on πŸ”Œ RV Designer S831: Contemporary Dual Outlet with Speedwire - White, Self Contained + Cover-Plate by Chef Deane

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Buyers beware of installation difficulties

I had an electric license and installed countless outlets. It took me an hour and a half because I didn't have the "tool" mentioned somewhere in the ad that I hadn't seen before ordering. For heaven's sake, it's an outlet. Wrap the wire around the screw or just slide it into the slot and you're done. Not this one. I found a video of a guy using a flathead screwdriver and his hand to drive it into the slots. It was cable #12, not #14, and it wasn't mentioned anywhere. The connector I removed had the same connection. I saw an "SCD" tool for over $900 and someone mentioned one for $40 or so. I won't buy any other.

Pros
  • Stable test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
