Overall Feedback:

85% liked the sleek design, but 15% desired more
I used this outlet cover because it had extra space for my Leviton male waterproof plug 14W47.
I noticed that the piggyback plug is a bit pinched against the housing, making it tight horizontally.
I noticed that the width of the electrical outlet cover was not as per my requirement, even though it was disclosed in the website description.

89% praised the universal compatibility, though 11% faced issues
With this product, I can fit the 2 pigtails and camera AC block in the covers, unlike the standard sized ones.
The width of the product was disclosed on the website, but it was not clear if it was inside or outside. Unfortunately, the outside width did not serve my needs.
There is no gasket between the base and the cover, which makes the seal non-water tight and allows water to leak inside.
I did not receive the pin (hinge) with one of the covers that allows the box to be mounted to swivel.

It is easy to install and provides some protection for my patio light string smart plug.
The product is defective and leaks because there is no gasket between the base and the cover, which makes the seal not water tight and allows water to leak inside.
I have complained that the waterproof foam gasket is not large enough and can get sucked in if the outlet position is not precise.
I found the inside of the outlet completely soaked after taking it apart the next day, indicating that the electrical outlet cover was not durable enough for rain.
90% found it easy to install, while 10% had difficulties
The installation was quick and the adapters fit properly.
With the proper tools, I can cut out an opening at the bottom of the cover big enough to accommodate it.
I have installed two of these products and faced issues with both. I returned the first one for a missing gasket, but still experienced leakage with the second one.
I installed the outlet cover correctly, but it couldn't handle a few days of rain.

85% praised the safety features, though 15% had concerns
I wanted to use the 2nd outlet while safeguarding it with the camera, which is a safety feature of the electrical-outlet-cover.
There is no gasket between the base and the cover, so the seal is not water tight and allows water to leak inside.
