About TayMac MM2420C Nonmetallic Extra Duty Weatherproof in-Use Electrical Outlet Cover
Overall Feedback:
87% positive
74% liked the sleek design, but 26% desired more
These outlet covers have ample room for setup with the same amount of wire bend as required without the smart plug, which is a positive aspect of their aesthetics.
The electrical-outlet-covers do not lock in the open position, which can be annoying.
I am dissatisfied with the product and plan to return it due to its poor performance in covering the electrical outlet.
I find the product functional but poorly designed.
79% praised the universal compatibility, though 21% faced issues
These outlet covers provide ample room for setup with the same wire bend as required without the smart plug.
The electrical outlet cover is not compatible with heavy duty devices like a miter saw in a wood shop. It does not fit perfectly and forces a sharp bend in the wire. An additional 0.7 cm of depth would make the box a better fit for such situations.
I have complained that the latch/catch does nothing, so the cover partly opens when something is plugged in, making it not weatherproof.
85% appreciated the durability, but 15% experienced wear and tear
The product is not durable enough for heavy duty devices as it does not fit them properly without forcing a sharp bend in the wire.
I am dissatisfied with the product as it cannot possibly do its job and I have pointed out several issues with it.
I find the plastic to be flimsy and thin, suggesting it may not be durable.
When it rained, the outlets kept tripping and I had to do extra work to seal them and make them survive.
92% found it easy to install, while 8% had difficulties
I installed three of these outside my house and behind shrubs. The installation was easy.
The covers do not lock in the open position, which can be annoying. It is also ideal not to be in and out of them too much once installed as they are hard to remove from the little pins that hold them in place.
I will have to return the product and buy another one to do the job, which is fairly simple. This indicates that the installation process was not easy for me.
75% praised the high-quality materials, while 25% found them subpar
I am quite pleased with the product, but heavy duty devices do not quite fit under the cover without forcing a sharp bend in the wire. If the box was a bit deeper, it would be a better fit for such situations.
The outlet covers have good padding/insulation at the base to keep water out.
I expected the product to be more solid and thicker plastic since it was advertised as heavy duty, but it turned out to be much thinner than expected.
I had to put in extra effort to make the electrical outlet covers seal and survive in rainy weather, suggesting poor material quality.
80% praised the safety features, though 20% had concerns
The product provides safety features, allowing me to plug in decorative holiday shrub lights without extension cords running everywhere.
I have complained that the latch/catch does not work properly, causing the cover to partly open when something is plugged in and making it not weatherproof.
79% appreciated the tamper-resistant feature, but 21% didn't
I have complained that the latch/catch does not work properly and partly opens when something is plugged in, making the product less tamper-resistant.
