Type A & Type-C USB In-Wall Charger with 20A Tamper-Resistant Outlet

In this review the Leviton Type A & Type-C USB In-Wall Charger with 20A tamper-resistant outlet is evaluated as a practical upgrade for households that need reliable USB charging at the wall. The single biggest reason to consider it is straightforward: it replaces a standard receptacle with a built-in pair of high-powered USB ports so phones and tablets can be charged without bulky adapters, while leaving the AC outlet available. Installation is simple for anyone comfortable with basic electrical work, and the unit's smart chip and native USB-C port make everyday charging cleaner and faster than older adapter setups.

Key Features

• Dual USB Ports: One Type A and one Type-C port deliver a combined 5.1A so two devices can be charged simultaneously without needing external adapters.
• Smart Charging: Built-in smart chip recognizes device requirements and optimizes current for each device to improve charge efficiency and safety.
• Compact Integration: Replaces a wall receptacle so you can charge devices while keeping countertop space and the AC outlet unobstructed.
• Enhanced Safety: Overcurrent protection helps prevent feeding too much power to sensitive electronics.
• Convenient USB-C: The Type-C port supports reversible cable insertion, matching the current standard for many phones and tablets.

Who It's For

The charger is a good fit for homeowners, renters, or small office users who want a neat, permanent charging solution for phones and tablets and who prefer not to use separate power bricks. It works well in kitchens, bedrooms, and home offices where freeing up countertop plugs is valuable. DIY-minded installers who can replace a wall receptacle safely will find installation straightforward.

It is not designed for charging laptops that require higher wattage or laptops needing Power Delivery; users who primarily charge larger laptops or higher-power devices should look for a USB outlet model with explicit Power Delivery support. If you need multiple high-power USB-C ports for modern laptops, choose a higher-wattage dedicated charger instead.
