Attention buyers: Photo inaccurate

Product seems a bit weak for the price North Carolina seems to be in short supply. So I have 3 to complete the Friends project. It simply does not include the ground anchor point as shown in the listing. None of the ones I ordered have a ground anchor point.

Pros
  • Best-in-Niche
Cons
  • No machine

Works great with lighting fixtures. Not intended for anything heavy.

Works great, easy to install. Drill an appropriately sized hole. Be careful not to overtighten as the plastic parts may burst later. Do not hang heavy equipment on it. It relies on your ceiling's drywall to hold it up. A standard surface mount fastener is sufficient.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Protection

Delays in delivery - don't expect delivery

Item as described so if you don't need it for a few weeks it's fine. But it came a week and a half after it was promised when ordering. By then the job was done and we had to come up with something else. So if you need it for a specific job, or if you can buy a specific time and get it somewhere else, you'll probably want to go that route, but if you don't have a schedule or time frame...

Pros
  • Pretty packaging
Cons
  • Low repairability

The holes are not tapped to fit the bracket

There were no problems opening the 3 flaps while using a screwdriver and twisting. Do not use a battery powered screwdriver/drill which has too much torque and may break the keys. My only complaint about this product is that the holes are not tapped to fit a mount. You will be drilled to assemble the bolt and nut, but you can't attach the nuts because the light gets in the way. Usually these holes are tapped and you just screw the mount in. I ended up just removing 3 valves and installing them…

Pros
  • Hands free
Cons
  • Empty

Critical cutout template missing

I've been installing electrical boxes for longer than I can remember and every time I rely on the supplied cutout template which MUST come with the box. I ordered two of these and luckily one of them (and only one) came with a pattern and instructions. These ceiling boxes aren't the most difficult to install, but you will need a template and instructions written on it. Without this, the beginner is easy prey. Like I said, luckily for me, one of the two I bought came with a stencil (each was…

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • I vaguely remember
