What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise this shallow electrical box for solving tight-space installation challenges in RVs, mobile homes, and retrofit applications where standard boxes won't fit. Reviewers consistently highlight the perfect fit in constrained environments like thin drywall, behind TVs, and kitchen islands, with many calling it the only solution that works. Installation is described as straightforward and reliable, with the box holding receptacles securely and functioning dependably for outlets, switches, and specialized applications. Customers commend the affordable price combined with sturdy, durable construction, with many planning to repurchase. A few note limitations with GFI receptacles or heavier fixtures, but these minor trade-offs are widely accepted for the product's primary benefit of extreme compactness.

Redoing a wall and needed to add some outlets. This worked well in the space behind a pocket door.

Small box, only room for outlet. Get another junction box for other connectors

Worked well for my application

Would Recommend

This box worked well for my application and was easy to install. It was a little tight when connecting another line, so I would recommend using a deeper box for anything beyond a single switch. For a basic single-switch installation, it worked as expected.
