What Customers Are Saying

Customers overwhelmingly praise these electrical boxes for sturdy construction, effortless installation using angled pre-installed screws, and versatility in retrofit and new work applications. The thick plastic design feels durable with ample internal space, mounting securely to studs in under 30 seconds without extensive drywall removal. Many call the installation process straightforward and game-changing for remodeling projects. A few note minor challenges with internal cable clamps and included screws, but these are consistently overshadowed by the product's overall performance and reliability.

The internal screws work great

I like the internal screws to secure the box to a stud

Great size, easy to use.

Would Recommend

Perfect for our project but the included screws are pretty cheap so we used better ones. Screws get a bit deep in the box, so an extension might help when using a cordless driver.

Decent box

Would Recommend

I like that these boxes don't require a Romex connector. These types of boxes are good for dimmers, because they don't have a flange that causes the plate to stick out. However I think it's dumb how they have different inlets rated for different size wire. They should design them so they're all good for up to 10/2 cable.

The angle installation makes it easier to install versus straight screw installations. The fit for the Smart box made it easy to slide through the drywall.

Great post construction electric box

Would Recommend

This is a highly recommended electric box, that is perfect when the walls are already sheetrocked. I had to add an outlet, and it was a great solution. It’s sturdy and has the same results and strength as if it was installed before being sheetrocked. The screws are angled perfectly to go right into the stud, and their is plenty of room in the box.
