I have 4 of these outlets – 2 purchased 6 months go and 2 purchased today (3/17/2020) at in Xenia Ohio. My reason for 1 star is the fact that it is very difficult to plug a power cord into either of the two 120V outlets. When plugging in a power cord there is some internal interference that prevents easy insertion of the cord. All of the power cords I have tried (new and old) require “jiggling” in order to eventually get the cord to insert fully. I wish I could be more specific but successful insertion is the result of random movements where you eventually get the cord to fully plug in, due to probability, rather than careful placement.
Why did I purchase 2 more – I wrongly assumed the problem experienced with the first two outlets were fixed by the manufacturer.
And no, I am not a shrill… Store 2603, Terminal 06, 3/17/2020 17:12:46 – Transaction # 6479566

CANT even think the USB port[s] was used even 4-5x at most. Outlets fine, juts NOT charging ports.
GOt on a whim thinking wud be HANDY not using up a plug with full adapter, just cleaner look on coutner..go to use it.. NOTHING. Of course it JUST outta warranty. If thats the service most people get outta these, I’ll buy or try a BUDGET throwaway amzn verison for half or even 1/3rd price- and if it TOO goes out..who cares and not such big loss. At the LEAST , maybe ai’ll just try a differnte BRAND or more $$ name and see what happens. But I AINT buying another of these… maybe i just got LEMON, that sneaked by Q/A checks. I did buy off but then its all chaiwanese anymore, right? So ya NEVER truly know what ur getting anymore. No ones fault but our own. But few if any can afford to pay $150 for an american-made union-labor-produced outlet ot product either. So it is what it is, I reckon. My actual item photos provided so you can zoom in for verification. Perhaps I shouda found way to place a meter to show no usb voltage for better evidence. Like i said, of course its outta warranty… wouldnt care if had got ANY REAL USE OF IT.

I was forever looking for another cube for the cable to recharge my iPhone. Now, I just plug the cable directly into the wall outlet. I just leave the charging cable in the outlet where I am usually watching TV, gaming, on the computer (whose usb ports are normally full) and I have access to a charge whenever I need it. Installation is exactly the same as with any other wall plug. I have a couple of these in my bathroom so that I can charge phones, watches, hearing aids, etc. overnight and have the devices away from my bed.

We replaced a standard duplex receptacle with the Legrand replacement receptacle. It was a 20 minute job. We flipped the breaker in the garage to make it safe to work on the receptacle. Then we removed the old duplex and straitened out the wires that were wrapped around the screws on the old one and were happy to see that the new outlet let us just push the wires into a pinhole on the back of it. No having to wrap the wires around a screw. Just insert and you are done. Make sure you follow the color code white/black. You do have to screw the ground wire to the chassis of the new one. Anyway the added dual USB charger plugs freed up the two power plugs for other devices. This worked out great on our kitchen counter top.

When I saw this Legrand Radiant USB chargers with duplex tamper resistant outlets I had to have it!
I want one in every room (I will get one for each room!) What an amazing idea! It is so convenient to have the USB built into the outlet! No more trying to find a plug for each of us or for company!
It was simple to put on, anyone can do it! I think it makes a wonderful gift! I guess you don’t realize how handy this is until you have it!
It’s great quality that I think will last a lifetime, or at least until the next technology comes out.
I definitely recommend this product to everyone!

I love this outlet. It has a sleek design with a flat panel and simple lines. The built in USB outlets are a necessity these days as almost everything comes with a USB charging cord, but not an actual plug adapter. We used these for our remodel and are going to purchase the Legrand Intuity Hub so we will be able to control the light switch from the app. If your junction box has a lot of wires it may be hard to get everything to fit into the box, but overall the installation was easy. This product is perfect for anyone doing a remodel or building a new house because it instantly modernizes a dated room and adds convenient USB outlets for charging devices without taking up outlet space for other electronics.

The outlet is a little tricky to install the wires for a weekend warrior. I prefer the type that allows you to place the bare wire into a slot and tighten the screw. This outlet requires you to take off the entire screw and place the wire into place while trying to reinsert a tiny screw and a holding plate. A pro would cruise through this. A weekend warrior who installs a new outlet every two years will struggle.
The biggest issue is the tamper-proof plugin. These are terrible and require you practice plugging in a cord. I initially thought there was something wrong with the plug until I tried and tried MULTIPLE times until I finally figured it out. This feature is a major pain in the you know what and makes this product a no buy on my list.

Bought 3 to install in the bathroom and bedroom. Got the first installed and tested it out. The electrical outlets have poorly aligned connections and you have to fight to get anything plugged in. One plug wouldn’t let anything be plugged in at all. The USB plugs work but feel loose. An outlet that can’t accept a plug is worthless.
Also, they are wider and deeper than regular plugs and take up almost all the room in the junction box. Getting the extra wire back in the box and getting the unit seated took some time.
Once I realized I couldn’t plug anything in I had to remove it and reinstall the original plug. I’ll be taking these back and not buying anything else from this company.

If you have ever installed your own outlet or switch, this Legrand radiant will be very similar. The hardware appears to be high quality and the wires were easy to simply insert into the back of the unit and screw tight. The fit and finish is top notch. I gave this device four stars because I’d like for both ports to provide 2.1 amps when used at the same time. In this instance, it only provides 3.1 amps total. If the next version provided 4.2 amps or USB-Power Delivery, it would easily earn my five star review. For now, this is a really good product on the edge of greatness.

We loved this so much we went and bought 8 more to install. We are a huge technology family, so we have a ton of devices. This outlet was so simple to install, only too about 15 minutes to get it up and running. It was really easy, I was really pleased with how simple it actually was. The outlet looks really nice when install, loved that it comes with the cover with it. Having USB ports right on it is so much better because you don’t have to worry about finding more wall adapters and you are able to charge even more devices with it. It charges at a great speed also, which is a huge plus. Now we can free up the plugins for other things instead of having them all taken by the electronics we charge. Very happy with this outlet, we have put some in every room and will probably buy even more. I’d love to have ALL our outlets be these – that is how much I love it.

I bought this and installed it in the kitchen of our new home in April 2017. We LOVED having two USB ports that could be used for charging our devices without having to keep up with the charging cubes. After daily use without any issues for just over 6 months it suddenly stopped working. I noticed the left USB port was difficult to plug into as if the connector had become unseated or loose. The right USB still has a snug fit but will not charge so I’m guessing it’s a short or something related to the left outlet. I tried resetting the breaker and testing with multiple devices without any luck, so now we’re left with just a very expensive basic wall outlet (the outlets continue to work fine, only USB failed). I would recommend researching other brands/models based on my experience!

Very easy installation. Looks gorgeous, especially when paired with the switch frame that was made for it. It does have a light metallic sheen to it, so it’s not just a flat brown. The tamper resistance works great, it’s hard as heck to get a voltmeter probe in there to make sure it’s working correctly, haha!

Although it was a standard outlet installation, nowhere on the package did it list it as a tamper resistant outlet. Because of this feature it males it difficult to use the 110 volt when the usb is being used and vise versa. A non TR plug would but much more user friendly. Additionally the screwless required cover fits poorly on boxes that aren’t perfectly lined up with the drywall opening. leaving gaps on the cover plate that wouldn’t be there on a screw on plate. The cover plate is difficult to remove. I’d never buy another one.

No one has ever said they have enough electric or USB plugs in their home. Plus most USB plugs are large and bulky covering you electrical plates, so it is makes it worse. So I was more than happy to try Legrand Radient USB Charger with Duplex Tamper Resistant Outlets to try and review from TryIt. First the installation was fast , easy,and anyone can do it .
This product allows you to charge your two appliances and still have your electrical plugs free .Plus it has a child protective shutter system that keep your little one from inserting objects into the plug(this alone helps mothers of toddlers sleep better at night ) It is attractive and would match most house decors as it came in white .I love this enough I am buying two more for my family room.
