Product Review: TNP Electrical USB Charger Wall Outlet - 4 Amp Dual USB High Speed Fast Charging Port + 2 AC Power Plug Socket TR Tamper Resistant Receptacle Screwless Wall Plate Insert Face Cover Panel Mount (White)

2.0 out of 5 starsCombined solution for AC Power and USB charging

Initially this was a great product (see 5/8 edit for additional information), especially for an existing room with a limited number of AC outlets. These modified electrical outlets are very handy. An excellent alternative to a larger charging station. The USB ports are high capacity as advertised and charge an iPhone, iPad or Android device quickly. I also like the fact that the outlet is Tamper Resistant (TR) to deter little fingers from getting into it. It measures about 1.5" deep, if it was a bit shallower that would be the only thing that would improve this product. This product is as deep or deeper than most dimmer switches and potentially some outlet boxes. Just be prepared when you turn the power off as most wire boxes may contain more wire than you realize so spacing can be an issue.




5/8/17 Update: After a little over 2 months both sides of the USB portion of the outlet have stopped working completely. I contacted TNP Products who stated that the product is under warranty but I would be required to pay S&H. While not completely unreasonable I really do not want to have to pay anything for a manufacturer defect.
