I love the new USB plug wall outlets that are available on the market today, what a great idea. You may recall I recommended the Newer Technology Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet in our Valentine’s Gifts for the Loves in Your Life post. A little unconventional for a Valentine’s Gift, yes, but certainly practical. With the Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet you can plug in your phone and your tablet along with your toaster oven and coffee maker or electric shaver and electric toothbrush. Nice.
Although there are a number of these USB wall outlets on the market now, what I like best about the Newer Technology product* is that
1.) it’s the only UL certified wall plug
2.) how closely it mimics a normal looking wall outlet. With nothing plugged in, you wouldn’t even notice the USB slots on the side of the normal plug outlets
3.) it allows for 2 USB plugs and 2 AC power outlet plugs to be used at once — some brands only have access for one plug and two USB slots
4.) it’s permanent — not a plug -in on top of your normal plug (which causes you to lose one of your AC plug outlets)
Just think of where you could use one of these?
- your bedroom
- your bathroom
- kids’ rooms
- kitchen
- office
- family room
- mudroom
- etc.
