I wanted to add some USB charging outlets on either side of our bed and found these. I have a dual gang box on either side of the bed just above the nightstands, which included an Insteon Keypad/Dimmer in one side and a never-unused outlet in the other. I removed the outlet and replaced it with the Quad USB Charger version. I went with the Quad rather than Dual version since I wanted to use the exiting dual box and dual cover and it is the same form factor as the dual outlet I removed. They work well and have no vampire load, which is nice. I also like the sliding cover. The only downsides are that they are a touch pricey and that they are fairly deep so they use up pretty much their whole side of the box. Interestingly, the entire device is totally plastic and has only a hot and neutral lead, no ground. I suspect this was done for safety and UL reasons...
