What Customers Are Saying
Customers overwhelmingly praise this electrical box for its sturdy, heavy-duty construction that resists sagging and bending. The thick non-conductive plastic and quality included nails outperform standard alternatives. Installation is consistently described as easy, with pop-outs that release smoothly and pre-drilled alignment aiding drywall spacing. The 22 cubic inch internal volume provides ample wiring room. Most customers confirm reliable performance and consider it excellent value despite higher cost than basic models. A few note tight wiring constraints or GFCI incompatibility, but these concerns are minimal.
Customer review summary generated by AI, including incentivized reviews.Not for use with GFCI outlets.
Would Not RecommendVery tight wiring. GFCI outlets (2 different brands) would not even go into these boxes as the molding channel for the mounting screws interferes with outlet installation. Going back to the old blue boxes. On the upside additional back taping is not required when installing spray foam as the wire channels are tight.

Design Flaw
I'm not sure if these are newer boxes but you can't fit a normal size outlet or a GFCI into the box because where you would typically screw in the outlet with the 2 screws, there is a step in the plastic and it restricts the box of the outlet to be installed.
