Those alignment notches look like a real-time saver in mult--gang boxes. I've spend more time aligning devices in a multi-gang setup than wiring them.

Best design of an outlet for safety and convenience I have seen ever.

I bought a box of 10 the product is great for a person who does not know how to wire a receptacle it is straight forward and easy to do love it.

How's she goin'? Well I never thought I would see the day when a manufacturer would actually make a product that makes it easy for the user, and in this case safer too!! This sure looks like the next big thing eh!! Thanks for sharing. Take care!!

I love WAGO wire nuts! These new receptacles are terrific and I will start using them from now on.

Looks like great progress. Now they need a 20A version.

necessity is the Mother of inventions. People were getting shocks, casing short to box wires not screwed down properly, making this new contact feature a necessity .

I've been wanting to replace my outlets and I think I've found the winner. Thanks!

I am an expat living in Mexico, finishing out a condo. I wanted to change out the electrical switches and outlets from the installed black to white, and these devices make working with the very short pigtails so much easier. Gotta love it when a mfg makes a move to help a DIYer!

[alouellette]

I suck at even simple wiring like light switches and electrical outlets. This is a huge game changer for sure. SO smart. Thanks for this video and thanks to Leviton for such a great innovation.

I love the hight add-ons for bad drywall cuts!!! I hate when an outlet or switch falls into a cut too big!!! And that notch line up for the cover perfect hight and width, thats a freaking game changer... Always the worst part of the make up is the covers, loosening and tighting the screws till they are perfect... I love WAGO 221's... They are way more expencive then wire nuts, but I LOVE THEM!!! So much faster making up boxes and pre-setup my pig tails in batches at a benchtop, then just go around pulling a 3 way WAGO pigtail premade out and snap the two hots/nuetrals/grounds, and attach to device and boom... speed through.

Hey John. I just installed one of these for the first time. Really nice. I too thought it was odd that the ground is located on the hot side. But these work great, especially when you have short wire in the box.

Good for a contractor if the customer is paying the bill. For a DIY'er the time is free and the parts add up. These are still expensive compared to the old style. Today 7-16-24 at Home Depot $3.50 each. Old style was $1.50. And the old style still has the push in option for 14 gauge.

[kenjohnson]

OMG these are SO FAST love ‘em to bits!

[asomafw]

ive done very little electrical work in my home. these seem to be easier to install. i might get this style next time i need to replace one.

[brknilluzion]

These are my next buy.
Got you a sub, your videos are perfect at getting right to the point and giving all the Info.

Changing 2 prong outlets to 3 prong in the new house we just bought. These seem perfect for the job.

[grayismysuperpower]

Thanks for the video. I hope Leviton adds these kinds of connections to its entire product lineup including smart switches.

[lewthrasher]

They are great. The wago takes up so much less room and you can do the job much faster as proven here

[markhastings]

Just finished wiring my shop. Wish I had seen these!

It'll be so much easier to _quickly_ identify when there are mismatched colors given the color-coded tabs.
