Stellar Product

Richard from BLAINE, WA on 4/5/2024

Verified employee review (What's this?)

This is an excellent, highly engineered and very robust product. Its not a flimsy bent sheet metal box. Use and installation instructions, drawings and template are easy to understand. This product was used to house a power management system (transformer & back-up battery) for our house leak detection system relocated from the crawl space into our garage to be in proximity with the detection system control panel and water softener solution system.

Pros: Excellent placement of knowkouts for routing cables, installing electrical outlets, conduit and grommets. Simple attachment points to in-wall studs. Access cover is a plus.

Cons: Pre-drilled holes for installing/attaching "old work" electrical box were undersized, but easily remedied with next size up drill bit.

This box is as simple or as complicated as you need. Extremely versatile with low price. I shopped around a lot before I decided on this one and it was the right decision.

Fits the 2021 Samsung Frame One Connect Box

WS from Hingham, MA on 1/30/2022

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

Fits the 2021 Frame tv box but not its predecessor. Its very tight but works great. Cover wouldn't fit but its behind the TV anyway. Had to mount one of ours vertically but that worked well too. Overall perfect fit for all of our 50,55 and 75 2021 Samsung Frame TV One Connect Box (black remote). Our older (white remote) One Connect Box did not fit and we had to go in a different direction.

Pros: Well Constructed

Cons:

Why does this have no 3/4" standard knockouts.

Pros: Made well

Cons: No 3/4" knockout and no way to know that until purchase & delivery.

Poor instructions and design

Robert from Manhasset, NY on 3/28/2021

Verified customer (What's this?)
Verified employee review (What's this?)

The instructions are terrible. The knockouts are covered in a thermaplastic paint. It must be scored before you can take the knockouts out. The box fits perfectly in the drywall cutout. So if you preinstall your j-boxes, you can't slide it into the wall. I had to pre install the junction box into the wall cutout, remove the plaster ears , put it in the Av box while it was in the wall without the flange. Secure the boxes to my studs then reinstall the face frame. Cumbersome. Difficult to work with. They should sell their own JBoxes that fit perfectly . Even better, include some accessories so that you can easily add electrical or low voltage cables. I got it to work but the road was not smooth. I'd look for a better option for use in a remodel situation. A big "Pass"!

Pros: Sturdy

Cons: Difficult to use for a seasoned DIYer. Beginners, run away!

Verified employee review (What's this?)

Great solution for getting a clean look behind the TV. I used it to help create a "built in" look for the TV. The box itself is very sturdy with multiple locations for mounting an outlet and knock out rings to connect conduit for running cables.

Pros: good physical size for concealing cables

Cons: none so far

Installed in a new commercial build out for the conference room. Tenant was really impressed with the look and clean lines. Liked the feature where you don't see the mess of cables at the back of the TV.
