    Works best in wall panels and accessories

    Exactly what I expected. I used this in my garage to get an outlet outside my panel and it worked fine. It was easy to install. If you can install an outlet, you can install this. I wouldn't say the material is the most durable but I haven't broken it yet.

    Pros
    • Absolutely amazing!
    Cons
    • Good but not great

    Not standard size

    Its rear side is larger than a regular sized jack. So if your mount requires even the smallest indentation, it won't fit. And if your existing box sticks out a bit, it hangs over it and looks like crap. Therefore, it is essential when installing the bit flush with the surface for connection to the existing socket.

    Pros
    • Everything is fine!
    Cons
    • Obsolete

    Works but very thin.

    I like the size. There are many access points nearby, but be careful when handling - it's very fragile. Don't try to use the drill even at low speed or it will break around the hole. Use a rotary tool to make a hole if you need to make one. Be careful when applying torque to the screws.

    Pros
    • Best
    Cons
    • Useless features

    Terrible quality! Stay away!

    Just look at the picture. It was extremely poor quality, the back was attached with four small clips. They broke and the backing fell off when I put the lid on, rendering not only the box unusable but also the holes drilled. Incredibly bad quality. Waste of money, time and especially your efforts!

    Pros
    • Few competitors
    Cons
    • Slightly wrinkled

    Works well - wall plates and accessories

    This is a good box for the price. I have bought 3 of these so far and will buy again. Easy to install, the side cover can be removed to make it easier to install the socket in hard-to-reach places. The only issue I have is that it's a bit tricky to cleanly remove the breakouts required for your wiring. An annoyance but not a showstopper. Definitely recommended.

    Pros
    • Easy to use
    Cons
    • Having problems

    Product with good design

    Product design is genius. The back is removable for easy installation and the box snaps onto the base with a snug fit. The product is a little flimsy as others have reported, but nothing should break with careful installation. The workmanship of the product is very good, suitable for direct use with the lamp.

    Pros
    • Quality construction
    Cons
    • Upgrades

    Good but a little flimsy

    I bought this box because I wanted it to look like pure white plastic to match its surroundings. There are plenty of perforations for use, which is good, but it also severely compromises the structural integrity of the device. Once the device is in place, it never feels secure when screwing it on; I haven't tried glue. I bought a matching Lutron jack cover and it didn't fit quite right: this box was slightly smaller than the cover and difficult to align properly due to the plastic. All in all…

    Pros
    • Stylish and modern design
    Cons
    • Communication with seller

    Very versatile, good looking and great price

    I used these boxes when converting my 20 year old fluorescent under cupboard to LED. I chose LED strip lights and they are used to house the wire connections. These boxes worked great in all kinds of configurations. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the spacers are not perforated all the way through the box. They tend to rip off the outer top layer of plastic unless you are very, very careful. I have found that the best way is to use a variety of needle nose pliers and…

    Pros
    • Excellent overall performance
    Cons
    • Doubtful

    Works but not convincing

    Looks good, holds a gear component, plastic (I put a smart switch in so I'd rather not have a Faraday cage around it) and is just as easy to install how its can be installed. but I'm actually a little surprised it's legal. The back attaches to the wall at will, but the box itself attaches to the back. The box is too flexible. So when I screw my switch into the box, the box flexes enough that the clips on the back don't close and the whole box pops out when disturbed, exposing the mains voltage.

    Pros
    • Good product for the price
    Cons
    • weak
