- "As a Master Electrician, I recommend it to anyone because it installs just like any other outlet. All my friends and family members want me to install these in their homes." - Chris D., Keene, NH
- "This product has the Cool Factor nailed down: super easy to install; can easily charge four devices at a time; convenience; value; Nerd Envy." - Jonathan M., Bella Vista, AR
- "As a product design technician, I appreciate the amount of thought that went into designing this product. It's durable; instructions were easy to understand; and my family no longer needs to fight over the computer to charge their devices." - Dwayne B., Glencoe, MN
Ideal for homes with users of multiple USB chargeable devices, the Power2U is available in four decorator colors to blend seamlessly into any residential wall as a standard power outlet. By incorporating two traditional three-prong AC wall sockets in addition to two USB 3.0/2.0/1.1 ports, the Power2U transforms an ordinary wall into a modern, centralized location for charging/powering up to four devices simultaneously.
Easy 20 Minute or Faster Install
The Power2U is a basic 'DIY' install on any 15Amp circuit with a 16-cubic-inch electrical box. A "straightforward" rated "how-to" video showing how the Power2U can be installed in 20 minutes or less is available at: http://eshop.macsales.com/installvideos/nwt_power2u/
