Review on πŸ’‘ TheOUTlet USB: Revolutionizing Charging Convenience by Johnny Pigao

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Will not fit 1968 metal boxes with 2-wire configuration

Fatal Error: Will not fit older single-fit metal boxes (which measure exactly 3"x 2"), although the instructions claim that they fit on 3" x 2" boxes (my house was built in 1968). Note that even if The Outlet somehow fitted the sides, the current boxes wouldn't be deep enough due to my 2-wire black and 2-wire red wiring configuration. In two separate rooms, when I realized neither box would fit, I checked to see if it would *work*. After turning the switches back on, they worked fine, but they just didn't fit. Now I'm debating whether to rip out and replace the existing crates or, more likely, just install new, old, working, navy blue plastic crates in some of the other places I wanted to have outlets. I have compared this product to the new (deep) blue plastic boxes and yes they match perfectly. Great product and much more attractive than the extension cords that plug and screw into existing sockets but be careful if you have an older home and are reinstalling into modern sockets as these may not fit especially if your socket is only 3 x 2 measures inches or flat.

Pros
  • Sockets and Accessories
Cons
  • Damaged
