Electricity is pretty much the life blood of people nowadays. Nothing runs without power. Our electronics have evolved so much over the years, and we really haven’t updated our homes and offices, to keep up. It’s not always convenient to plug in adapters. It’s aesthetically not pretty to look at. They can be bulky, and knocked out the outlet easily. I also experience a lot of issues with a lot of fast charging adapters. I have them burn out a lot, and/or they get really hot to the touch, while in use. I have other outlets from this company, and they are really nice. My husband is a commercial electrician, so he is picky about the outlets we install and use. He really likes their products as well. This particular outlet is one of their newer ones. It is the first “In-Wall Qualcomm® Certified Quick Charge 3.0 USB charger featuring up to 4X faster Charging to Enabled Devices”. That’s impressive, and I feel assured going into a new product, seeing that certification. This particular outlet actually arrives with three different colored face plates. The white cover arrives installed on the unit, and a separate beige, and black cover, are individually wrapped in the box. A surprise to me, was that this time, they included a micro USB cord with this outlet. We just use android devices, so we love that. But then, most items, other than phones and tablets, use micro USBs to charge as well. This particular outlet has 1 – 3 prong plug outlet, and 2 –   2.4Amp max output, according to the devices’ power needs, ports. It will not over charge your item, as well as give it more power than it needs. It has smart charging as well as fast charging abilities.

We installed this outlet in our kitchen that’s being renovated. Kitchen areas tend to be a hub, for most families. It’s nice to be able to just plug in charge. Our devices link up right away with this outlet. With their included cord, or our other Samsung fast charger cords, it actually comes up on our phones as Fast Charging. It is most definitely a fast charger. We can charge our phones from almost dead, to full, in about 30-40 minutes. A task, which normally takes at least two hours on regular chargers. Our phones actually tell you when you have real fast charging going on. So, I most definitely believe their claims on this outlet. This outlet is a normal install. It sits a little deeper than some basic outlets, but most boxes are sized to accept these larger ones. It sits 1 ½” deep. It can also be installed in a GFCI outlet too. It can be tricky to remove their faceplates. There is a little indent on the end of the plate. You can place a butter knife, or flat head screwdriver, into this area, and pop it off, if needed. We used the white plate that came installed on it. Now, you do need to supply your own Cover plate for this outlet. They can be found easily at your local hardware store. We went with a stainless steel one for this outlet. This 15A outlet is also tamper proof in case you have little children. Some can’t resist trying to push things into outlets. So, no worries with this one. Overall, this is a great working product. It is reliable and made well. It was easy to install and supplies actual fast charging, as described.

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.

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.

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. https://cspierdowis.com/increase-the-value-of-your-home-and-make-your-life-better-at-the-same-time-with-topgreeners-24w-ultra-high-speed-dual-usb-smart-charging-receptacle-15a-tr/ https://cspierdowis.com/increase-the-value-of-your-home-and-make-your-life-better-at-the-same-time-with-topgreeners-24w-ultra-high-speed-dual-usb-smart-charging-receptacle-15a-tr/#respond Mon, 11 Apr 2016 05:31:46 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3559

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. https://cspierdowis.com/modernize-your-home-with-topgreeners-tu21548a-4-8a-duplex-usb-charger-outlet-ultra-high-speed-smart-usb-ports-24w-15a/ https://cspierdowis.com/modernize-your-home-with-topgreeners-tu21548a-4-8a-duplex-usb-charger-outlet-ultra-high-speed-smart-usb-ports-24w-15a/#respond Thu, 31 Mar 2016 00:22:08 +0000 https://cspierdowis.com/?p=3274

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.
