In Reply to: RE: AC outlet review, could be worth a read posted by Tweaker456 on August 08, 2016 at 08:59:27
I already tried both WITH the all important WPC-Z cover. I re oved the zHubbell and installed the Oyside. Hubbell not even in the same league. I had my wife listen without saying anything or reacting and she was as shocked as me. There are some things you can't go cheap on. Its now over $300 for the outlet and cover combo and still very well worth it. You won't know until YOU try. That review means nothing to me except I won't believe anything he says. I didnt see where he tried the cover. Hello! I also prefer the dark war!the of the SWO-XXX over the R1 and others.

Got them both for under $250.
house. But it shows at amazon it was delivered to my house. I have been home all day and no one came to the house except for the UPS guy with my tubes.
I even saw the Amazon truck go down the street and when I went out he had kept on going.
I just hope if it was delivered to a neighbor that they will bring it. We shall see!
Also, the Amazon customer service is no help. Got a person in the Philippines and they just kept repeating the same stuff like a parrot, they say to wait until Monday.
Relax, have a beer, listen to some music. Wait until Monday.

Well Cougar, I'm chillin out, listening to music and drinking beer. Please don't ruin it by telling me how good they sound! Maybe just a tini weeni bit better than the Hubble's?
Cool. I hope it works and as I did and always do ordered from some place that has a return policy. Looking forward to your post. Clean the copper on the Romex when you install it.

Cougar, be very interested in your impressions once they come in. I have a good duplex outlet, but haven't taken the plunge into a cover. Slumming it with a plain 'ol oversize stainless cover. But I still sleep well at night knowing it's made out of 300 series stainless (non-magnetic). :)
You might try the Duster recommended Brainerd 126453 receptacle cover. Very good inexpensive tweak IMO. Others also like it a lot. I put Mortite in the groves that are on the back side. T
Thanks for that, Tweaker (and Duster!). Hadn't seen that post before.
I'm not ready to put the money into the Oyaide, at least yet. But $9 for the Brainerd? That I'll do. With my luck, it'll end being one of those "Oh crap" experiences and I'll then be ordering an Oyaide. :)
Just make sure that after you install it that you get a brass center screw for it next time your in a hardware store. Yuge upgrade. T
Be careful when you mount the R1 to the WPC-Z bracket. The 4 small screws for securing the R1 ground strap to the bracket should not be torqued too hard in order to avoid stripping the threads. Also, the carbon fiber faceplate may crack if the screw for the faceplate is tightened excessively.
