TU2154A Smart Ultra High Speed USB Charger Outlet
Check Price
Bottom Line

Dual USB outlets are a plus for users, but many are disappointed by the actual power draw. All four outlets can’t be used at once, as many charging plugs block the USB outlets.

Pros

Easy to install. Wires connect securely via clamp rather than wrapping around a screw. Two faceplates included; users choose between dual USB charging and standard outlet configuration.

Cons

Outlet’s electrical box is slightly larger than standard outlets, causing some installation difficulty. Tamper-resistant USB outlets can be difficult to plug into. Larger plugs block USB outlets.

Check Price
Bottom Line

It works reliably, though there are occasional reports of failure after a few months of use.

Pros

USB ports charge devices fast with 1.8-amp output each. Responsive customer service can assist with install problems.

Cons

Some reports of USB ports failing after a few months. Electrical box is larger than standard outlet electrical boxes. Larger plugs block USB ports. Faceplate must be purchased separately.

5325-WMP Decora Duplex Receptacle,10-Pack
Check Price
Bottom Line

This 10-pack of standard duplex outlets allows homeowners to replace multiple outlets at once. Nice faceplate styling.

Pros

Buyers like the easy installation and modern look of the faceplate.

Cons

Some complaints about poor packaging. Product isn’t tamper-resistant, which remodelers in certain states need to be aware of due to building codes.

LD-UR01 4.2A Smart Fast/Quick Charger

Bottom Line

Faster charging for USB devices via its ports than more popular outlet brands. Installation is smooth, though a few users report issues w/the outlet after powering the circuit.

Pros

Higher amperage enables faster device charging through USB ports. Customer service can help walk through installation issues. Press-on faceplates included.

Cons

Some reports of USB ports failing after a few months. Always-on LED indicator continuously draws power. Use caution when loosening terminal screws, as they arrive already backed out.

689-W 15 Amp 1-Gang Recessed Duplex Receptacle
Check Price
Bottom Line

A versatile option for wall-mount TVs and other areas w/limited space. Fairly easy to install; it's pre-mounted to the housing.

Pros

Reliable. Installation is simple, and electrical box fits perfectly into standard-sized boxes.

Cons

Receptacle screws aren't grounded, so installers must be sure to ground unit properly. Not tamper-resistant. Some users feel it doesn’t sit deep enough. Only one flat-type plug fits within the recess. Faceplate finish seems flimsy.
