Excellent in the kitchen.

I installed one on the wall in the kitchen and one on the island because that's where everyone gathers most of the time, friends and family. Charging our smartphones and my iPad is fast. After the kitchen renovation, we started using sockets more often. One of the sockets is easy to plug in and out, but the other requires a bit of work trying to plug in the cord. There is some resistance and I have to wiggle the cord and push it hard enough to get it into the socket and it's not because I got…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Expensive

Very useful and fairly easy installation

They are great, as evidenced by the fact that I bought them twice. Just make sure you read the specs, especially if you're looking to replace a specific outlet. As one or more reviewers have pointed out, this issue is very large/deep. It probably won't fit in a box with several other ports. That's actually the only reason I'm giving it four stars. Several times I was prevented from installing where I wanted because of the depth. Also note that it does not replace a switched outlet (one half of…

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
  • Some errors

Good and within spec

So far so good after installation. These sockets get a lot of use, so I'll update them as I use them. In the single block box, they're a bit wider, so be careful with the gaps. I had to insulate the hot and neutral screw heads with tape to prevent sparks in my metal box. The physically smaller size of the device would allow me to give it another star, but to be honest it's pretty reasonable unless you have a super-packaged box. 5.17 volts). Of course, the actual device charging speed is highly…

  • This is amazing

Excellent warranty service

I bought a Topgreener 2-pac and installed both units on a GFI circuit. After about 30 days the switch tripped. I removed both blocks without knowing which one failed. During the liquidation process, the failed unit was isolated. This process is time consuming and tedious. I've never had a power outage. Obviously the Topgreener product is a cheap and unreliable design. I do not recommend this manufacturer. Unfortunately I lost my purchase price because the return period has expired. This is an…

Normal USB socket, but not perfect.

This outlet works as advertised to charge USB devices while accessing standard wall outlets. I have installed several of these outlets throughout the house and the Top Greener brand is usually a step below the Leviton brand. They are satisfactory but not perfect as they don't seem to stand up to regular use. The plastic is quite soft and tends to gall when plugged in and unplugged, which I've never seen with other sockets or brands. It's relatively minor and only noticeable on close inspection,

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

I bought these after buying about 8 of these from Sunco. After just 3 months, over 50% of the Sunco products I installed failed. 5 out of 8! The outlets still worked, but the USB ports stopped working. I bought TopGreener to replace them and have no regrets. is what you want And if you're not an electrician, after all I've been through with such products and smart switches, I would only recommend installing such products this way (several DIY's have failed me in different ways, and if you're…

Pros
  • Great for a small home
Cons
  • Questionable purchase for the elderly

I bought this to make sure my cloud cameras work without them getting disconnected because something else needs an outlet. Perfect, I thought, can't turn this off and leave all my outlets available. Installation was easy, with terminals for push-in or around screw wiring (although you may need to get creative if your old outlet had TWO screws). Terminal connections (as this socket only has ONE set of screws unlike a standard socket), a ground at the bottom. The bezel fits well but charges my…
