Leviton Type A & Type-C USB In-Wall Charger with 20A Outlet - Smart

In this review the Leviton Type A & Type-C USB In-Wall Charger with 20A Tamper-Resistant Outlet is evaluated for everyday home and office charging needs. The bottom line: it is best for people who want a tidy wall-mounted solution that replaces bulky adapters and provides a reliable two-port USB charge while keeping the outlet available for other devices. The reviewer found the built-in smart chip and native USB-C port useful for fast phone and tablet top-ups, and the tamper-resistant 20A outlet keeps the installation compliant and practical.

Key Features

• Smart chip recognition: The built-in smart chip identifies the charging needs of each device so the ports deliver an optimized current without user adjustment.
• Dual high-powered ports: One Type A and one Type-C port provide a combined 5.1A and more than 25 watts, enough to charge phones and tablets quickly.
• Space saving: Integrating USB ports into the receptacle eliminates external adapters and frees plugged outlets for other equipment.
• Type-C convenience: The USB Type-C port accepts reversible cables for easier insertion and works with many modern phones and tablets.
• Enhanced safety: Built-in overcurrent protection helps reduce the risk of sending excessive power to connected electronics.
• Tamper-resistant outlet: The 20A tamper-resistant receptacle maintains safety in family spaces and meets common electrical expectations.

Who It's For

This outlet is ideal for homeowners, renters, and small office users who want a clean charging solution for smartphones and tablets without needing extra power bricks. If you regularly charge a phone and a tablet at the same outlet, the two-port setup and combined 25+ watt output make it convenient and clutter-free.

People who need laptop-level Power Delivery or those requiring specialized high-watt charging should look elsewhere, since this model does not provide laptop-class PD. Also, users who rely on very specific accessory compatibility should verify device behavior, as a small number of customers reported mixed compatibility with some smart home accessories.

Pros & Cons

Cons

• Does not support Power Delivery for laptops; not suitable for high-watt laptop charging.
