I am replacing all my outlets with these covers because I dislike looking at the open ones.
The safety outlets are simple.
I have a safety concern with these outlet covers. When I insert a power cord, the prongs are unable to plug in completely, allowing the electric to arc, heat up the cover, melting it and posing a safety & fire hazard.
I looked at the thickness of the outlet covers and how far the prongs of the plug would be away from the metal sockets they are intended to mate with. I sent them back because of this.
Rephrased: I sent back the outlet covers because I noticed that the prongs of the plug were too far away from the metal sockets they are intended to mate with.

82% found it easy to install
It is easy to install and use. Just remove the outlet cover and screw it in.
I find the product easy to install and better than Walmart's outlet plug covers.
The standard outlet covers are super easy to install and my 10-month-old daughter can easily pull them out, but she cannot access the outlet with these covers.
The installation process was easy and now the area is safe for the baby to play freely.

I appreciate the clean look of the outlet cover and the convenience of having it right there.
The electrical outlet covers have a bad smell after 5 days of off-gassing. It smells like fertilizer chemicals and I'm not sure if it's toxic. I plan to let them off-gas outside and check with the manufacturer. I'll keep you updated.
The chords easily fall out of the outlet and do not stay plugged in due to the thickness of the cover.
After plugging in the charger for the first time, it heated up immediately.

I appreciate the safety features of this outlet cover. It presents a challenge to allow me to intervene before little fingers get into trouble, unlike other safety covers that are difficult to pry off.
I am glad that I came across these electrical outlet covers. They are easy to install with a flathead screwdriver and are safer to use since they auto close when unplugged. The only drawback is that they are not available in black or paintable to match the wall. However, I think it is a small price for safety.

75% appreciated the tamper-resistant feature, but 25% didn't
Electrical-outlet-covers are a good solution to prevent accidents as toddlers may try to get their fingers behind the small plug in covers, which can be a choking hazard.
I've noticed that the outlet pushes the prongs half out and night lights barely work, which feels sketchy.
The cover sticks out too far, making it difficult to plug in devices.
I was extremely disappointed and frustrated that the electrical outlet covers could have killed my whole family.
