About TayMac MM7440C Two-Gang Weatherproof in-Use Cover
Overall Feedback:
84% positive
85% liked the sleek design, but 15% desired more
This electrical outlet cover is an excellent product that not only protects the outlets from the weather but also provides enough depth to make even unwieldy power supplies fit correctly.
The cover has a roof, but it is open to wind and humidity.
The plastic is thin and likely to age in direct sunlight.
I had to snap out a piece between the two outlets as the product did not fit properly, making it useless.

84% praised the universal compatibility
I need a waterproof cover that is deep and wide enough to accommodate a centered duplex outlet.
I can modify the electrical outlet cover with needle nose pliers to create 40 different configurations.
85% appreciated the durability, but 15% experienced wear and tear
I have included photos to demonstrate the cover's depth, indicating its durability for use with a sump pump controller in a drywell outside.
After using the product for a year, I downgraded my rating because the cover is still difficult to open and there is only one particular way to twist/lift so that the cover opens. Otherwise, it remains stubbornly closed.
The cover is difficult to deal with as it does not open and close smoothly. It tends to pop out of place and can be difficult to get back on.
85% found it easy to install
The product installed easily and meets my requirements perfectly.
The plastic material of the electrical outlet cover can be easily altered and primed to fit my installation.
Installing the electrical outlet cover is easy by slipping the keyhole-type holes on the face of the cover over the screws holding the receptacles to the junction box.
79% praised the high-quality materials, while 21% found them subpar
If it had fit my needs, I would have kept and used the well-made product.
If you plan on using grounded, 3 prong plugs, consider the extra depth variety.
71% praised the safety features, though 29% had concerns
The electrical outlet cover has a safety feature that vents enough to prevent condensation from being trapped.
The electrical outlet cover is an excellent product that provides enough depth to make even unwieldy power supplies fit correctly and protects electrical outlets from the weather.
I'm not sure how water could penetrate the cover, but I'm going to seal it anyway.
88% appreciated the tamper-resistant feature, but 12% didn't
I find it difficult to snap on the cover, which may indicate that the tamper-resistance feature is not effective.
