USB Charger Wall Outlet with Type A & C - Fast In-Wall Charging

In this review the ELEGRP USB Charger Wall Outlet is evaluated as a straightforward in-wall replacement for homeowners and renters who want built-in USB charging without relying on bulky wall adapters. The biggest reason to buy is the convenience of two dedicated USB ports combined with a tamper resistant duplex receptacle, which keeps devices charging at stable rates while preserving a standard outlet for other appliances. Installation is aimed at typical DIYers and electricians who need a tidy, multi-gang compatible solution with a matte white finish that blends into most rooms.

Key Features

• High-Speed Charging: Two USB ports deliver a combined 4.2 Amp 5V DC output so small devices charge faster than with older 1A ports.
• Type C and Type A: The Type C port can provide up to 3.0 Amp and the Type A up to 2.4 Amp when used separately, offering flexible power for newer and legacy devices.
• Dedicated USB Controller: Each port has a protocol chip that detects device power requirements for stable, optimized charging.
• Tamper Resistant: Built-in shutters protect children by preventing foreign objects from being inserted into the outlet slots.
• Easy Installation: Supports side and back wiring (including two hot wires in parallel) with screws pre-loosened to save time during replacement.
• Universal Compatibility: Works with phones, tablets, e-readers, cameras, headsets and game systems for simple bedside or kitchen charging.

Who It's For

The outlet is ideal for homeowners, landlords, and remodeling projects where adding USB charging without visible adapters is desired; it suits bedrooms, kitchens, offices and family rooms where devices need frequent top-up charging. It also appeals to anyone wanting a tamper resistant solution that meets standard safety expectations.

It may not be the best choice for users who need high-wattage fast charging for laptops or devices that require specialized power profiles beyond 5V DC, or for installations that require a specific designer color beyond the supplied matte white finish.
