Knightsbridge Screwless Shaver Socket with Dual USB A+C (5V DC 2.4A Shared) - matt White

Good shaver socket and it helps that it comes with both A & C USB ports Looks stylish in my bathroom

Looks great and works well

I ordered this shaver adaptor socket as it includes a usb c and a usb a charger integrated into it. Many bathroom devices are now coming with usb a or usb c cables to keep them charged and this is the perfect accompaniment to those types of products. I have never removed the shaver socket in my home before and when I received this replacement I was surprised by the size but I was happy to find that the existing shaver socket is actually slightly wider inside and so it fitted perfectly. The front plate I ordered with this device is a matt white one and it was of good quality, it is fitted onto the sockets by four small metal tabs and I did find that it's a slightly loose albeit solid fit which will make removing it for repainting the wall simple. I tested this with charging my phone using the usb c and it worked as a fast charger so I couldn't really ask for anything better. I note some people mentioned a hum noise, my old shaver adapter socket hummed and whilst this one does make a humming noise whilst a shaver is plugged in if you put your ear to it the sound is much less than my previous one and stops once the plug is removed. It does not hum at all if using the usb sockets.

Swapped out easily with the existing shaver socket. Now I can power two appliances at once. USB Max rating 5v, Socket 20v.

Sadly it works for a few months before you have to start fiddling with the plugs to charge. Expensive. And sadly in 20 months I bought 2, thinking it could have been a defective one the first time. The USB’s do work but not the shaver plug, fiddle to get it to make contact and it humms when it’s connected. Not worth the prize or safe.

Great love it looks good too

Ordered a returned unit for my bathroom, as it was a little cheaper! I needed a replacement unit as new electric tooth brushes now come as USB devices but I also need twin plug. It arrived but it was the wrong unit, it had been been repackaged by Amazon but identified incorrectly as it had no USB charging points. Not to worry, Amazon returns is excellent!!! The device was picked up I ordered a NEW one this time, and my initial purchase was refunded in 5 days. Excellent. The device is easy to install, looks great and works! Great instructions. 5/5

The shaver socket works fine but the item is supplied with 25mm screws. Given that a shaver socket requires a large backbox it requires longer screws, ie 50mm. As it is a screwless design the screws need to be flat headed and are difficult to source (most are slightly raised - Amazon of course sell the right screws made by the same company but you have to buy 100 of them at a cost of £28.99 which increases the cost of the item).

Excellent product and looks really good. I had to give 4 stars because it is supplied with 20mm electrical screws. You need to use a deep back box and even with this, it is difficult to fit the transformer and wiring inside. You then secure everything with the screws. Trying to do this with short screws is near to impossible. I had to buy some 35mm electrical screws in the end and they worked fine. Otherwise, very happy with my purchase.

Looks nice and the USB sockets are useful, but the shaver socket connection is unreliable and the transformer hums quite loudly.
