Retractable power tap that tucks away when not in use.

I bought this for my fiancé's workshop which we just completed. This splitter was a great desktop addition for use with a laptop and its Cricut card making system. USB sockets are very convenient for charging your phone and powering other USB powered devices. The beauty of it is that when you don't need it, it just snuggles up against your desk and out of sight. I highly recommend this power connector for any desktop that needs easy access to AC or USB power ports. It was easy to install and…

Pros
  • A dream come true
Cons
  • Working speed

Loose fit solved with double sided tape

I installed it today and as other reviewers have noted it is a very loose fit. I was able to fix this with double sided tape and now the power tap fits snugly in the 2 1/2" diameter hole. I wish it had tapered edges that increased towards the top so it narrows as you press the power tap Tap on the hole but I digress.Double sided tape comes in a variety of thicknesses and gauges but I used 15lb 3M tape and was only able to use half the packaging otherwise it would be too thick.I will probably…

Pros
  • Many fit
Cons
  • Negative impression

Good machine, could be better.

This is a handy accessory for adding power outlets to a desk or cabinet. We used it in the built-in closet as a charging station for laptops. As others have noted, the device doesn't sit very well in the hole, but a bit of tape helps. The problem I have is that the cord is stiff enough that when you insert it into the closet, the cord deflects the loop a bit so that the next time you pull it out, it gets stuck at the bottom of the closet. device as it no longer falls into the hole. I think a…

Pros
  • Complete set
Cons
  • Empty

I ordered two different designs, one was cheaper and smaller than the other. I installed it in the new quartz countertops in my kitchen and it is absolutely perfect. Sunk very unobtrusively, it rises gently and lies flat on the counter. The design is a standard three pin plug, so no special wiring is required. He's perfect and looks great.

Pros
  • Great design
Cons
  • Low repairability

Cannot power both USBs at the same time

Place this in the headboard I built to charge your phone at night. I like that he hides when I don't need him. The only problem I have is that when I try to connect two devices to the USB sockets, it can't handle it and the device switches from "charging" to "not charging" almost every second. Plugs don't seem to do this at all, only USB slots. As I was looking forward to charging my phone and tablet overnight, I guess I'll have to stick to the mains for now. Unfortunately, at the time of…

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Infinitely slow

Perfect for the account.

I like this article very much. We used it in the center of a 10ft long x 3cm thick quartz countertop/cabinets standing against a wall in our dining room. We used a hidden extension cord so we didn't have to place outlets above the countertop. All requirements were thus fully met. The unit is a little smaller than I expected with an extended extension piece that is only about 6 inches long but still has 4 outlets. It folds up nicely when not in use. Everything worked as expected. You can see a…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • A few little things
