What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this shallow electrical box for solving tight-space installation challenges in mobile homes, RVs, and older construction where standard boxes won't fit. The shallow depth, easy installation, and reliable performance consistently earn strong satisfaction. Most find it cost-effective and appreciate the surface-mount design with flanged holes. The compact form enables retrofits behind drawers and on concrete foundations where alternatives fail. A few note limitations with GFI receptacles or heavier fixtures, and some mention the plastic feels slightly flimsy, but these concerns are rare and context-specific. Overall, reviewers consider it an excellent, practical solution for constrained installations.

Would RecommendThese are great little boxes. I really didn't have any issue with it at all except that I ended up needing something a little deeper. But for a shallow box, they are sturdy and useful.

Regular outlet depth
Just deep enough for a standard outlet or switch. Not dimmers or gfci outlets.

Would Not RecommendI did not like it. I did not use this as I needed to be fairly specific with measurements and leave enough wall for the tabs on top and bottom.
