I bought this for a kitchen re-model. We wanted outlets on our island that would be accessible for countertop small appliance use. I thought a wireless charger would be a great feature to have too. I researched dozens of pop-up outlets both here on Amazon and elsewhere and settled on this one because it’s really the only heavy-duty option that had wireless charging built in.If you read the specs carefully, all the other options are limited to 12-13 amp current draw, which is probably fine for an office desk, but not adequate for kitchen usage where appliances can easily draw the full 15 or 20 amps available on the circuit. This is also one of the few models advertised to be resistant to spills, obviously also important for kitchen counter top use.So despite the high price, we bit the bullet and bought this one simply because it seemed like the only option that could handle a 20 amp circuit, spills, and have a wireless charger. Unfortunately, the wireless charger is very finicky. You have to place your phone just perfect or it doesn’t work. When you can place the phone just right, it will beep loudly as it starts charging (annoying). However often it doesn’t even register and charging won’t start. And every now and then it will start charging, but then start beeping. We still have no idea why it does this, other than to indicate *something* isn’t right.Compare this to a normal $20 wireless charger you can buy pretty much elsewhere and it’s a poor experience. This wouldn’t be so bad, except for a $330 outlet you would expect everything would work perfectly.Other than the wireless charging, the outlet itself works fine. The mechanism feels plasticky and a little cheap to be honest, but as I said before, it’s one of the few options built to stand kitchen counter use.

I first bought a very cheap version and returned it almost instantly. This it the real deal. It’s made to withstand use and the quality is far superior. My favorite part is the optional ring. Use plenty of silicon to install the ring so that it creates a liquid barrier to protect from spills.***4 Years Later*** I am still as in love with this as the day I got it installed. At first, it was a bit of a novelty, my wife didn’t understand the need for it. It was one of the few things that I picked out for our kitchen remodel, so I got a pass. This has really been through the wringer. Constant up and down (physical not emotional), kids playing with it, nearly two years of home school use during the pandemic, and I don’t have a single complaint.

Very easy to install. It doesn’t match the image on the description for the product I would have rather had the outside stainless like it shows but I guess it’s fine. It does take a 20amp plug not the standard outlet but you can easily change a standard outlet to one.

Very Sturdy and great looking.. when you put a hole in your counter you want to make sure it stays!
