> 3 dayDoes not work well at all with outlets which only have a single screw (in the middle) holding the outlet cover in place. After completely tightening the outlet cover, the holder is easily removed from behind the cover. A simple bump by a leg would dislodge this.

> 3 dayIt seems like the Google Home is a little too heavy for this product as it bends the outlet cover while it it hanging on it. But it’s easy to install and comes with good instructions. It keeps the Google Home out of the way like it’s supposed to.

Greater than one weekClever design shifts support of the weight of Google wifi to your outlet cover plate. Unlike other designs the plug isnt used to hold any weight. The Google WiFi is heavy enough you do not want the plug to support weight since it will fall out over time. This outlet design solves that problem. You should note this design depends on the cover plate to be ridged. I had one cover plate that was vinyl and could not support the holder tight enough. But an outlet cover is an easy and inexpensive replacement if needed. Since the Google Wifi plug isnt used by the outlet holder your outlet can easily use both plugs of outlets. Other holder designs may interfere with the second plug. This holder is a great simple but solid design. I never need to worry about this failing and having the Google WiFi unplugged. Highly recommended.

> 3 dayI recently purchased the google whole home Wifi system and decided to try these outlet mounts so the routers would not have to sit on top of furniture. The mounts seem to be very secure, and I did not notice any movement of the mounts after installing them behind the wall plates. I did attempt to wrap the cord around the mount several times before finally being satisfied with the tension in the cord while plugged in. Other than that, installation was a breeze.

> 3 dayI have had a little mini shelf for the mesh extender on my upstairs landing for a few years. Hated how the cord had to wrap around the device to keep it from the floor. Kids have snagged it several times....ugh. This simple little thing has fixed this issue as far as it can be fixed without upgrading to the newer version of the mesh with the lower profile plugs - and I dont need to replace the extenders so yay! Great product. Super simple to use. I love that I can hang it from the plug vs having to have a place to set it.

> 3 daySo, these were replacements to another Google WiFi point holder that I bought that was meant for the old points since Google changed the plug from oval to circular. These are decent but have some design flaws. The first issue is the area to coil the cord. There arent any of those tension tabs to keep the cord in place, so they just sit loose in the coil with the idea that the wall will keep the cord in place. Well, the cord likes to pop out as youre trying to place the mounts tab under the outlet cover, so its a bit of a battle to get the cord to stay long enough to get the mount against the wall. The second issue is that with how small the tab is that goes under the wall plate. You need a very ridgid wall plate to keep hold of the tab if you got a non-gfi style outlet like in my pic. I had to go and buy a metal wall plate to get the rigidity needed to hold the mount. With the plastic wall plate, the mount would barely stay in the side position and just fell out in the bottom or top position. I get that this is designed to work with any style plugs wall plate, but it was just disappointing that I had to run out and get a new wall plate. Now that theyre in, all is well and unless the WiFi points are physically knocked into, I dont see them going anywhere.

> 3 dayOur house has new outlet face-plates with one screw in the center. These holders, when empty, barely stay in. When you put the Google wifi device, they fall out immediately. So: these are easy to install and easy to use, and probably work fine if the outlet is in a good position (out of the way of traffic, and in a good location for wifi signal strength), but ONLY if the face-plate of the outlet has two screws.

> 3 dayOwning a Custom AV Integration company of 22 years and being extremely OCD with details, I am always looking for accessories to keep my integrations as clean as possible. When Google moved to Mesh technology I HATED the idea of these little white WAPs sitting on floors, tables and just about anywhere with their cables strewn about. ARRRGGggggHhh! Now enter this little novel idea, a wall mount for these ugly little “pucks”! COOL! Last week I purchased a pair and installed one in my personal home; and another for a well-to-do client! She hated the puck wadded up in the corner of her new home’s Hearth Room… and so did I. The install was very straight forward and will require a single Standard screwdriver, and depending on how OCD you are can take less than 5 minutes. In my Pic, you can see I hid the excess power cord to the Google Fiber Jack inside the wall box under the removable port access cover of the Fiber Wall Jack. Also, Google loves to provide an extra long 6’ - 9’ CAT 6 cable which is usually way too long for the application. So I removed their extra long flat CAT6 cable and replaced with a simple 1’ CAT6 jumper cable. This way I was able to minimize the footprint of the Google mess of cables! As a finishing touch, I covered the 6” or so of exposed cables with black Split Cable Loom. available at Home Depot or Harbor Freight. Ideally, white loom would’ve been excellent but I was out of it at the time. DURABILITY: It’s plastic, yo. So if you have kids running around into walls or dogs that are chewers, then yes it will probably fail. If you have loose power wall receptacles, then yes, it will probably not stay securely in place. If you don’t have these potential issues, well then it should work splendidly! I give this little miracle an A+!
