Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet Review

I hope you're in the mood for a short review today. The folks at Other World Computing have sent us a device that falls into the "gizmo's" category. It's a device that is meant only to make life of constantly recharging devices a bit more convenient. The Power2U AC/USB Wall Outlet is a simple what-you-see-is-what-you-get proposition. While USB ports are ubiquitous on the front and back of PCs these days, and some motherboard manufacturers feature USB ports that can supply triple the current for faster charging, it turns out that some folks actually turn their PC off at night or when it's not being used... odd, I know. The Power2U USB Wall Outlet can be installed wherever you and your family's rechargeable devices tend to congregate around your abode. Not much to it, but here's a quick look at what you get.

Closer Look:

The packaging for the Power2U is a simple three-color affair in the usual want-to-pull-your-hair-out-trying-to-get-it-open bubble packaging. The front lists four functionality features to look forward to. This includes that it is UL listed, it eliminates bulky adapters, it uses Newer Technology's "Smart Power" feature, and it installs into most standard 15A wall outlets.
