Review on Enhanced USB15X2W Receptacle by Hubbell Wiring Systems by Ronnie Polk

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good outlet but not much use to overpay for the name

I already have two other unbranded Chinese made USB outlets that are about half the price of these ones. The Hubbell is widely regarded as the best of all devices, so I was happy to pay the extra cost to upgrade to the best and see what I was missing. Well, unfortunately I didn't lose much. The voltage and amperage of this device was a mid-range package between two other lesser-known brand USB outlets I already own*, and since even Hubbell now makes their devices like the others in China, they'll probably all be made in one factory anyway . *Update, device prices, with these two examples Topele for today $14.88 (I paid less) compared to $24.99 today for Hubbell (how much I paid) would be a better deal: Samsung S5Hubbell USB15x2W 5.09v . 53aTopele LD-UR01 5.23v .69aTopGreener 4.98v . 48aFire HD8 TabletHubbell USB 15x2W 5.04v .60aTopele LD_UR01 5.24v .84aTopGreener 4.98v .44a
