Great product. Works for the purpose of protecting ur outdoor electric connection against water and other extreme weather conditions !

Nice and quick fine and it’s waterproof box

These are great boxes for outside Xmas lighting. I put an Alexa enabled outlet plug into the box with an outlet strip to control a section of Xmas lighting. I have a few of these. Much better to deal with compared to the other brand / model on Amazon. These boxes have a cable / entrance section that keeps the cables locked in when the cover is opened. The other, it's built into the cover, and when you open the cover the cords all come out. These boxes have a great latch that is easy to use. The other brand used clips, one on each end. They tend to come out of their position on the box when loosening from the cover. And are a pain These boxes have one latch that is smooth and easy to use and lockable.. if you want so you can keep honest people fingers out. Of course a rock or hammer would be a generic key since it's all plastic. If your using smart home modules (rf) in the box. The other brand has a cover that captures water and ice. Causing attenuation of the RF signal. These boxes she'd water off of the lid. Great boxes.

Got this to protect a junction of 4 inflatible Christmas decorations and a laser light projector I was placing m the center of my yard. From the house, an extension cable ran in to this to a outlet strip and all the decorations plugged in to that. It's rather spacious inside. The strip (along with its 3ft. length of cord, extension cord end, and the 5 decoration plugs (the kind with the small "box" plugs on the end) all fit just fine. The box's hinge is on one of the short sides and the protected cord holes are centered on a long side. There are 5 openings, each large enough to fit one heavy duty extension cord sized cord. There are also a few scored areas on the sides that you could punch out to fit larger cords or maybe even a small junction into, but they aren't protected from the elements so you'd be responsible for waterproofing them. You open the box and remove the top half of the rubberized protective shield. Place your cords into the (half)holes and replace the top half by snapping it back in to its slot. The rubber flexes around the cords from both sides, creating a tight seal around them. Then you close the actual box and snap the lever closed. Your electricals are now safe. The box has slots on the outside to mount to a wall but I placed it on a flat surface, as was suggested, on the ground in the center of the decorations in the middle of my yard and didn't touch it for about a month. We endured quite a few very heavy, windy thunderstorms during this time and when I opened it up it was bone dry inside. This is exactly what I was looking for. It allowed me to connect multiple decorations together out in the elements and kept them dry the whole season.

EDIT: November 2022 - its not so much that I got a bum box, but rather the rubber grommet in the box (that surrounds the wires and provides a water proof seal) was bad. The grommet is in 2 parts, but the one I initially received had fused into one piece. The manufacturers kindly sent me a new box (thank you!) and I quickly realized the problem. I did ultimately give the box 4 stars because it does not perform as advertised - one needs to use thinner wires than the product info indicates it supports. Using a standard outdoor extension cable (like the ones pictured) stress and deform the box enough that it leaves a tiny sliver of an opening. I just surrounded the box with a garbage bag, and it solved that problem. Just short of a slam dunk! ORIGINAL: September 2022: There are no real instructions for how to thread the cables into the box. So I did the best I could (the box itself is on the roof serving as a junction box for a remote control timelapse photography rig so it is hard to access so I don’t have a picture of the way it is) but I must be doing something wrong, because I can’t fit the attaching thing down far enough and it makes the box go out of square when I try to close it. Consequently, it leaks along the edges and I have to contain it in a trash bag to protect water does not get in. So it works but I’d rather not have to do this work around if somebody knows the proper way to thread the wires into the box. Thanks!

This outdoor protective box works well. This is the third box that I’ve bought for different areas around my property. The first one I bought was many years ago and it still functions perfectly. Great product if you have limited outlets, but need additional because you have more power needs than just two plugs. Keeps everything dry and safe. Highly recommend.

I bought this box to protect a plug connector from the elements where I have two outdoor extension cords temporarily plugged into a shorter outdoor cord providing power. I included a WiFi switch so that I could remotely turn the power on and off to the two extension cords. This box is of heavy gauge plastic and seems to be quite sturdy. There is a rubber gasket around the lid to make it weather tight when closed. Also, there are gaskets that press against the top and bottom of any cords that you have running into the box (I have three - there are openings for five). There are tabs on the inside that hold any cords in place as they run through the holes. A nicely engineered detail! The dimensions given on the web site are accurate. This will keep the weather away from my temporary connections and I am very satisfied with the quality of the box.
