Dynex™ - 2.4A USB Wall Outlet (2-Pack) - White

I bought these to put in standard deep plastic (phenolic) surface mount boxes so I could mount them on a couple of desks. The plugs work fine, but these are very deep units. They were about a quarter inch deeper than the deep sized boxes. In order to get them flush, I had to use a dremel tool to cut out the back of the box and reduce the parts of the box were the units are screwed on (see photo) to get the cover plate flush with the box. The boxes were a lot harder to cut than I was expecting. The smarter thing to do to save time would be to just cut a couple of thin sheets of plastic or wood to glue to the sides of the box to cover the gap between the top of the box and the cover plate. Wood sides would be better looking too. I would buy again anyway, or maybe the 3.6A version instead. These get a lot better reviews than the other branded ones that are currently sold by Costco which appear just as deep.

These outlets are Great! We put 4 in around the house. Everyone loves them. When company comes over they are amazed and ask where we got them. They look like they belong there and get used A LOT! Definitely recommend these!!

Got this on deal of the day and they are good My other outlet was old and outdated so made the change thanks to this deal planing on buying more when I see them again on deal of the day

Worked just fine! I’ve never touched anything electrical before in my life. They were easy to install, fit just fine without any modifications needed and work great! They look much better than the old standard outlets I had too! (Before and after pictured)

I want to change all the outlets in my home to USB outlets they are so convenient. And i like the way it looks on the wall. It was simple to install.

Excellent product. Easy to install and very convenient. I can charge my iPhone without having to search for where my kids left my charger. As a daily special Best Buy the costs was great. Would highly recommend.

Purchased to install in living room table to plug in laptop and USB devices. Love being able to charge my devices next to me instead of having to find another outlet.

Wiring is easy, functionality is there, but unit design is poor. The screws for the cover plate need to be a tad longer. Speaking of cover, even when as tight as can be, it is not flush to the outlet portion. So the cover has a gap from the wall. You can see this will be the case even BEFORE installing the unit becasue it is not machined correctly (vs. a standard outlet mates perfectly with it's cover and thus will be flush with the wall when installed). This is a design flaw and has nothing to do with the outlet box or wiring. I presume the poor design is why this was on Best Buy Deal of the Day. Thats fine, just BUYER BEWARE. For now, I can live with the gap. May replace them once prices on competitors goes down or BB fixes this flaw with improved units. Took two pix: 1) of this outlet showing the gap, 2) a competitor outlet I installed previously in a different room - no gap and nice and flush to the wall.
