Review on Stainless Steel USB Outlet 4.2A With Tamper Resistant Duplex Receptacle & SS Outlet Cover - Pack Of 4, UL Listed & ETL Certified For IPhone, Samsung Galaxy & Other Smartphones by Cardell Haynes

face plate does not sit flush to outlet

Bought 2 of these. One showed up scratched do to hardware floating around inside and making contact with faceplate. The other I installed and after guessing at which wires are hot and neutral in my old home, I found the faceplate cannot sit flush to the outlet body. The two button head screws that anchor the outlet to the wall prevent the faceplate from sitting flush to the outlet itself. If those two screws were flat head, then it would likely be fine. Otherwise a simple install.Edit: Upon plugging in other appliances I have found that the protective bits in the 3 prong sockets do not play nice with every plug. Definite frustration here. Removing a star.

Pros
  • Basic electrical skills needed for installation but no special tools.
Cons
  • The 4.2A power output may not be sufficient for certain devices or power-hungry applications
