Works great and adds a lot of convenience
I installed two of these on my kitchen island and they've gotten lots of use already. I leave a USB-C cable plugged in and coiled on a small hook under the countertop overhang, so it's always ready to charge whatever device I happen to be using. Installation is as straightforward as any other electrical outlet, and it took about 90 seconds each once the old outlet was removed. Happy with the purchase and will be ordering more for other areas of the house. This type of outlet should be the standard at this point.

Best USB Outlet Yet
I've installed a lot of USB outlets. This is easily the best yet. The quality of construction is excellent and it's got the features that make installation easy. Especially appreciate the ability to back wire (not back stab). 65W of total power means it's future proof for many years.

A wall socket setup that has a USB A and 2 USB C ports with a charging output of 65 watts combined.
This is a replacement for a standard 110/120 volt double socket wall receptacle, and NOT a GFCI socket with the test and reset buttons. This has a built in GaN charger that feeds a USB A port, and 2 USB C ports, and charges like a PD charger from the C ports. I can't tell you for sure how fast the A port is, but I can tell you that the C ports will charge my new Samsung smartphone as fast as anything I have ever used with it, including PD (power delivery) rated charging ports. The plugs are made correctly, and the cables fit properly, not so loose they can fall out easily, and not so tight you have to struggle to plug them in and out. The electrical outlet portion functions just fine, and also fits the plugs well. Installing it is as simple as cutting the power to the existing outlet, ( VERY important), and removing the cover, then the screws holding the old one into the wall. You then gently pull out the old receptacle as far as the wires will easily let you. Being sure you have the new receptacle oriented properly, I recommend removing one wire at a time form the original receptacle, and installing it in to the corresponding position on the new one. Do this one wire at a time, and you shouldn't have any problems, but if you are the dyslexic type, you might want to have someone who has done it before assist you. Now just push the wiring back into it's little hole in the wall, and remount the new receptacle back where the old one was, attach the cover plate and turn the power to it back on. I found this unit to work great, install easily, and look good as well. I did feel that the price, although perfectly in line with other units of the same type, is slightly higher than it should be, which I believe is true for all of these types of receptacles. It's a combination of a $30 dollar wall charger, and a standard receptacle worth about $2 TO $5, and I just think they should be able to sell them cheaper than they do. I don't however think this is priced higher than it's competition, it's not at all, it is as good of a deal as you can find today. I believe this is a good well made product that works well, and I can recommend this one for purchase.

useful socket for the vacation home
We have a vacation home which is older and has limited sockets, so we try to get the most out of each one. We put this one my our bed. I put a 10-foot USB-C cable in the USB-A jack to charge my Galaxy cell phone (fast charge) when I go to bed. If I use normal-sized plugs, I can plug in those to both sockets as well.The USB-C jack provides enough juice so I can plug in my USB-C to USB-C cable for my LG laptop to charge while using in bed. It does not complain about "slow charging" and will increase in charge while I am using it, without the need for a power block (works better if I am not using the USB-A jack for the cell at the same time).Yes, this is a pricey outlet, but it not only gives you the standard 2 outlets (20-amp, no less), it also replaces 2 power blocks for charging electronics, so you only need the cables. That makes up for the extra cost in my opinion, and makes this a great outlet for the money.

Excellent USB Outlet
The Amazon ad says "This allows for swift charging of up to three devices simultaneously." Seems like an impossible claim, since there are only two USB ports, not three; even one of Abbotech's pictures shows only two devices being charged at the same time. Nevertheless, it appears to be a well built device. I'm especially impressed that they chose to get it tested and certified by Underwriters Laboratories (UL), unlike so many Asian imports which chose the quicker and easier route of getting just the ETL certification, whose main claim is that it's a faster and easier certification to get than the UL rating. I also like that they print in a contrasting color the devices terminals, ratings, etc. vs just molding them into the plastic which much harder to read (please see photo). One caution, make sure your outlet box in the wall is deep enough to accommodate this large device without crowding the wiring, kinking them, or causing overheating. The following webpage explains how to determine the capacity of your outlet box for the device(s) and wires running into and out of the box. While the calculations says to count each outlet like this one as equal to two wires, I suggest increasing that to three or even four wires, since this USB outlet is so much bigger than a typical two gang (i.e. two sockets on one strap) device (please see photo), and it produces more heat than a standard or GFCI outlet converting the alternating (AC) current coming into the device to direct current (DC) to power the USB charging ports. Also, while this page says a "standard" single-gang box (i.e. one that holds one device like this USB outlet) has 18 cubic inches of capacity, the only way to be sure is to measure the multiply the width of the box, by the height of the box, and the depth of the box, because I've seen many boxes in older homes and in special situations where the outlet box is much smaller than 18 cubic inches.
