In wall outletsModernize your home with Top Greener’s Enerlites 6200048 24W 4.8A Ultra High-Speed 4-Port Smart USB Charger In-Wall Outlet.

Standard

I am not new to Top Greener’s electrical products. We use them and really like their reliable and durable quality. My husband is a commercial electrician, and he is very happy with these products. We even went online and did price checks against their products, and equivalent products from our local big box stores. They can really hold their own in the market, and with several products in their line, were a lot less money. This particular product, really brings your home into the modern age. Our home is run by electronics. We use them throughout our daily lives, as do most families. I have charging hubs everywhere, lol. So, when I can install an outlet like this, and alleviate the over usage of hubs everywhere, sign me up. My husband got so excited when he saw this particular outlet. He immediately blurted out that this was perfect for a kitchen. And he’s right. I think installing it by the kitchen counter is a perfect location. You can have an electrician either swap it out or add it next to a regular outlet already installed. This is a 24W 4.8A smart charging USB outlet hub. You can actually plug in 4 USBs at the same time, and it does not slow this baby down. You really get great charging speed with this outlet. They even include two plate covers with this product. A flat one with no screw holes, and the traditional one we are all used too. This outlet will sit a little deeper than your average outlet, but you shouldn’t have any issues. The depth into the wall is 1 ½”. It arrives with the newer styled top plate attached. Just use a flat top screwdriver to separate them. The have a little pictograph attach to it telling you to do so. The first time I tried this with a new plug, I thought I was going to break it, lol, but you won’t.  Being a smart charger, it can detect what your particular product needs, and it will only deliver that much. I can charge my tablets and my smart phones with ease. You can charge up batteries for your camera and more from these. Whatever you charge from USB can be charged from this outlet. This is a regular UL listed outlet and accepts #14-#12 AWG wire. It’s an easy swap out if you have up to date wiring in your home. They even include great, easy instructions to follow, if needed. Quality wise, this is a very well made unit. I love the modern look, but I also like the option of having a regular plate with it. That is perfect if you want it to match up with a nearby outlet. The charging is quick and reliable. We are really happy with this product.

Time to organize. – YoYo Moon’s Wall Mounted Mop and Broom Holder.

Standard

I am not new to this style of wall mounted broom holders. I like them. This one has not let me down in my expectations, either. You can use these to hold more than brooms too. This particular broom holder from YoYo Moon on Amazon, is a wall mount unit. It is made out of thick plastics, and comes with all mounting hardware needed. It has slots to hold 5 items, and hooks to hold an additional 6 items. You can store a lot of things on this baby if you mount it right, lol. Don’t add a lot of weight to it, if you haven’t mounted it to your studs. You can hang it on the back of doors, cabinets, in a garage, shed, and on walls. The screws are screwed in from the front of the unit, which makes it really easy to do too. They do include wall anchors, as well. The holes to mount it are big enough to shove the tip of a thin pen or pencil through them. This way you can mark where you need to screw the holes, once you have them level. They have great instructions printed right on the box. This really helps get those cumbersome and ugly everyday household needs, up and out of the way. It is even weatherproof, so you can hang it outside to organize pool tools, and or kid play toys. It is really handy. This organizer measures out at 16” long, and just under 2 ½” wide. It sticks out from the wall about 3 ½”, not including when you pull the hooks down. Anything that has a handle, like a golf club, handle end of a baseball bat, skimmer tools for pools, etc.. can fit in the slots. Each slot has a roller ball in it that adjusts to the width of the handle; a great design. Each gripper can hold up to 7lbs also. If you are looking for an organizer like this, this is a no brainer. It’s priced under $10.00, and delivered to your door. I love that. Simple pleasures, lol.

Modern look. – BEIYI’s Towel Rail Rack Chrome Polished Stainless Steel Single Bar.

Standard

 

I never really think of updating things like towel bars. But, it is such an affordable and easy way to spruce up your bathrooms. Everything else in a bathroom is so expensive to update, when it comes to fixtures. We are planning on moving, and the home has a half bath in it. This towel bar from BEIYI on Amazon, is perfect for a half bath. I am so excited by it. It is a single towel bar, in that it would nicely hold one bath towel. It can and does hold two hand towels nicely too. I love, love, love the updated modern look of this towel rod. It is really nice looking to me. It is a chrome plated, stainless steel towel rod. It won’t rust on you. They even include all the hardware to mount it. It is lightweight though, which is perfect for me. They are so much easier to hang in awkward spots, if they are lightweight. If you have children that like to hang from your towel bars, this is not for you, lol. This towel bar is rated to hold up to 22lbs. So, a wet towel is fine. Kids, not so much. Of course, it all depends on how well you hang it too. I laugh at this because someone close to me hung her towel holders so well, they pop off the wall regularly, if you are not careful, lol. The towel bar itself measures out at 22 ½” long x just over 3 ¼” deep. The wall plates extend out a little further. This towel bar reminds me of the modern cabinet pulls seen in a lot of house renovations on TV. It’s a great sleek design, that I see will be timeless for our day and age. The guys in my house really like it also. Pay attention when you are mounting it. Remember to place the screw behind the mounting plate that extends through the middle of the plate. This is so you can attach the arm to it. When it arrives, it looks like one solid plate. Push in the center, and it will separate the two halves for you. Mine did not arrive with separate directions, but they have great photos on their ad page if you need it. Overall, I am really excited about this towel bar. It’s made really well. My set up has no flaws whatsoever to it.

Update your outlets with TOPGREENER’s TU1152QC Quick Charge 2.0 Dual USB Charger Outlet, 36W,15A TR Tamper Resistant.

Standard

Is your home taken over by electronics! I know our home is. I love that we can update our outlets now too. We already have multiport USB adapters all over the house. It is so much nicer to be able to just plug into a wall outlet! So much less clutter, and bulk wires running everywhere. What’s really impressive about this outlet, is that it is the world’s first in your wall double Qualcomm Certified quick charge 2.0 USB outlet. That’s pretty impressive. I need that too. We have larger Android based phones, and they need this power to charge quickly. Our tablets are even pickier, and this outlet is perfect for them. Now, I really wish I had more. I really like TopGreener outlets. This is not our first. The products are made well, and work perfectly. They have been very reliable, and the company is great to work with. I will be moving soon, and will be installing this outlet in my new home. I am taking it with me, lol.

This outlet is made well, and met the expectations we had, having already owned TopGreener outlets. The instruction pamphlet included is easy to follow as well. It comes with interchangeable face plates. It arrives with the white one already on it. But, the also include an Ivory one, and a Black one. To take it off, you place a flat head screwdriver to the side of it, and slowly pry it off. The Dual USB ports each reach 18 Wats output: 2.4A/5VDC, 2A/9VDC, 1.5A/12VDC. Pretty impressive, huh!? They really do charge a lot faster than regular USB ports. They are also Smart ports as well. It is not going to overcharge your item. You can charge your IOS products on here as well, without worry. It is also a temper resistant outlet, so you don’t have to worry about your little ones sticking something into the outlet, and hurting themselves. It is deeper than your regular outlet. It is 1 ½” deep. Most people won’t have issues, but you can check your desired outlet before ordering. You can install this in a GFCI outlet, too. Qualcomm outlets charge up to 75% faster. You really do get spoiled by that. To top it off, they even give a 2 year warranty with this outlet. I highly recommend it.

Smokin Hot! – Sywon’s 6-in-1 Soldering Iron Kit with Carrying Case.

Standard

Soldering irons can be used for many tasks from jewelry making, to electronic repairs, and LED lighting projects, and more. We are pretty happy with this set up from Sywon. It comes with a great storage case as well as solder, a solder sucker, solder stand, and 6 soldering tips. The soldering iron is a 60W iron. The Y solder stand probably won’t last very long though. It’s thin metal, and comes in a credit card form. You unfold it to make the stand. You can just lay it down so the tip area is on the metal card. That might be safer. My husband says there’s tips that would also be great for wood burning as well. This soldering iron is also adjustable from 200-450?, which is equivalent to 392F – 842F. So, be careful if you haven’t used one before. Make sure your work surface can tolerate the heat. It works on our traditional 110 US voltage. The soldering vacuum is pretty cool. It is made out of aluminum and plastic, and provides solid suction. Press it against your skin to test it. My husband really likes how fast this soldering iron heats up. He said he has to wait so much longer for his old one. He is able to accomplish a lot of his wiring jobs on the lowest of the settings too. In other words, this is new soldering iron.

Increase the value of your home, and make your life better at the same time, with Topgreener’s 24W Ultra-High Speed Dual USB Smart Charging Receptacle, 15A TR.

Standard

We are ruled by our electronics nowadays. Ok, it might not be that bad, but our home wiring does need to be updated to meet our modern day needs. I hate looking for adapters. That, and they tend to be bulky, and easily knocked out of the socket. It’s been more than once, where I thought my tablet or phone was charging, to find out that the adapter, had been pulled slightly out of the socket. No charging had taken place. We have other Topgreener outlets, and we love them. I was thrilled to be able to review their 24W high speed dual USB charging receptacle. It is a tamper resistant outlet as well, which is great if you have little kids.  They won’t be able to put tiny things into the outlet, shocking themselves. There are 2 high speed USB outlets as well as 1 3-prong plug, in this unit. The 2 USB ports were done well. Your USBs will have a nice, snug fit, with perfect charging. They are 4.8A total output between the 2. These ports are smart ports as well. They recognize your device, and deliver the power it needs to charge it, and nothing more. For example, an IPhone uses around 1A to charge, whereas my Note 5 likes 2A. It installs easily. You do need to provide your own wall plate. The USB modules are even replaceable. The top of the unit lifts off if you use a flat head screw driver to pry it up from the side of it. The instruction sheet that comes with this unit is really easy to understand and follow. With the wires the white is the neutral, the black is the hot, and the green is the ground. Like I said, easy to install. Lol, make sure you turn the power off before switching out your outlet. They even provide a 2 year warranty with this product.

It’s so nice to not have to use adapters. It makes for a cleaner look as well. Outlets like this one just make it better. Especially if you have a counter top area where you always charge your items. Or bedside, at each side of the bed, for the two of you to charge your phones and tablets, while you sleep. You really can’t get more convenient. With a little investment, you really do up the value of your home as well.

Modernize your home with Topgreener’s TU21548A 4.8A Duplex USB Charger Outlet Ultra High Speed, Smart USB Ports, 24W, 15A.

Standard

I am not new to Topgreener Electrical outlets. We have a few, and are quite happy with them. Not only is the company easy to work with, but their products are also well made. This particular outlet is a 24W, 15A outlet. It has 2, three prong outlets, as well as 2 USB high speed charging ports. These charging ports have a combined 4.8W output. Our outlet has been working like a charm. Since it is a go to outlet, we have it fully loaded, just like in the video, lol. It is well used, and it works like a charm. I can tell you that my son, who is a commercial electrician, installed it for me. He stated that the unit was very well made. He was impressed by it. He showed me side by side, the old, regular outlet we changed out, and the new outlet. The new outlet is much more substantial. It goes into the wall much deeper than the regular one. We did not have to modify our opening to fit it in any way, phew. The wires on the outlet are green (ground), blue (hot), and brown (neutral). The USB ports are smart ports too. It will read what your device needs, and gives it to them. My items normally need the higher power like 2 to 2.4, so these ports are perfect for us. So, you won’t have to worry about your electronics being overcharged. The USB ports compatibility is: 1.1, 2.0, and 3.0 devices. So, you could do an IPhone in one port, and a larger item in the other port. Let’s say you have a larger pad that requires 3.0A, and the IPhone charges on 1, so you’ll still be good to go. Our outlet never gets hot to the touch, even when fully loaded. We have never had it trip our breaker. It has been working wonderfully! When it arrives it has three interchangeable outlet plates: white, light almond, and black. You will, however, have to provide your own wall plate. Since my son is an electrician, he had one on his truck for me. I’m spoiled, lol. We have nothing negative to say about this product. It has been nothing but perfect for us in every aspect. It’s such an easy way to modernize your home. To top it off, if you have little kids, this unit is also tamper resistant. Your little ones won’t be able to just shove little things in it. It’s a safer plug to have around.
