About Greenfield CGFIHPS Series Weatherproof Electrical Outlet Box Cover
Overall Feedback:
91% positive
92% liked the sleek design, but 8% desired more
I prefer this cover as it opens sideways unlike my old one. Based on my experience, I can say that the cover has the type of opening mechanism I was looking for.
I have complained that the embossed company name and other information on the cover ruins the clean look, causing trouble with my wife's criticism.
I am dissatisfied with the design and quality of the electrical outlet cover. It has poor design and cheap metal.
94% praised the universal compatibility, though 6% faced issues
I prefer the new cover to open sideways instead of upwards like my old one.
I used this electrical outlet cover because I had a 20A Decora outlet handy which is the last outlet on a GFCI circuit.
The electrical outlet cover measurements are non-standard for the US market.
94% appreciated the durability, but 6% experienced wear and tear
The design and build quality of the electrical outlet cover is good.
I don't want a plastic cover because it gets used twice a week and I know it wouldn't hold up.
I am concerned about the product's durability, particularly the thin foam used in the weather-resistant cover that may degrade over time and compromise the weather protection.
88% found it easy to install, while 12% had difficulties
Installing this product is a real pain, especially when crouched and doing things by feel.
The electrical outlet cover is well-made and can handle larger AC-adapter style power cubes. However, it is unusable without drilling new holes due to non-standard measurements for the US market.
While installing the Greenfield GFCI weatherproof cover, the small metal stud that fits in the base plate broke off.

This cover will not work with a normal outlet in a standard sized electrical box.
