Sweet. Thanks

Hmmmm Hubbell!

Cool. I always like the free stuff.

I hope it works well, 'course you get what you pay for.

I received my box of receptacles, plates and a catalog today. The receptacles and plates are Hubbell. Not that I use them but, the 14ga backwire ports are one time use only(no release slot).

Thank you Home Select.

Mine also arrived today

Same here.... Kinda odd seeing push & pray on a Hubbell device... One's already getting a test drive downstream of a GFI in my kitchen

Got mine yesterday.Quality looks OK, the yoke is heavier than others. Rod

I got mine, too. I have already put a few of them in my office. They seem nice.

Free recepts? I didn't see anything on the site... where exactly do I go to?

wow got mine before Christmas but they were shipped from and to a Canadian Address

Mine came a few days ago, but the box must have busted open in shipping.
I got 4 receptacles and 7 plates...hardly enough for me to pass judgement on.

I ordered mine over four months ago but they never arrived. I have heard that from quite a few other contractors who participated.

Luke the date on first post in back last october so the freebies may be gone.

Got mine too. My box was also busted open but everthing was there. They seem to be O.K., but I thought they would be better quality.

I'm looking at the section on plugs and adapters. Interesting looking things.

Obviously imported from PRC.

Their webpage on ordering catalogs isn't too good. It won't let you put in enough numbers for your phone number, and won't let you submit it. Anybody else have this problem? Steve...

Thanks for the tip, I got mine in the mail yesterday. I think it's the first time one of the "free offer" things actually came through for me.

They'll send you 10 free 15A standard duplex outlets and covers along with their catalog. The "trick" on the outlets is that they have a plate-screw receiver that allows you to push the screw in instead of screwing it in. You can remove it by unscrewing it like a normal device. I guess this isn't an option for deco devices (yet).

Haven't used them yet, but I'll let you know if they are worth purchasing in the future. They promote the time savings - which may pan out on a complete finish job with several units to install.

Keep the free stuff comin!

This house needs rewirin'! Keep it coming!

Used mine to day on finish job. Real good receptacles. Ears are stronger. Face plate easy install. Need to check their price.

I also received mine a couple days ago.. the box had broken open (do I sense a recurring theme here?), but I got 10 outlets, and 8 plates.

I got mine today and the box was in good shape.
Am I supposed to believe that skinny little wire makes these self grounding?

Check out the note on the back about 1 time use. The is no backstab release hole.

Got my box in yesterday. What's the point of one captive screw and one held in by a piece of wire?

The captive screw held in by a piece of wire makes them self-grounding. Hey, they were free and they are UL/CSA listed. That's all I have to say.

I wouldn't reuse a back-stabbed device under any circumstances, so the fact that these devices are not reusable in those cases does not concern me.

OK, on second thought, maybe I have more to say. They seem to be comparable in quality to Cooper/Eagle's 270W. If the price is right, I'll buy them. At least they gave me a box to try out. How many other manufacturers of residential-grade devices do that anymore?

I will bet that the package they sent out, including the custom box, shipping and the catalog cost them a good fifteen bucks at a minimum. I am impressed that they made the effort to win my business. Leviton thinks that they own the residential market, and Eagle has Lowe's as their crutch.

It's about time that there was a third competitor in the residential device market in the US. Carlon's step-child (Cheetah) is looking to home-in as well. GE, Slater and Circle F got beat up and chased out of the residential device market years ago.... I say more power to Hubbell (no pun intended).

In the catalog they show a captive washer screw terminal that looks like a QO breaker termination.
I didn't see a sample of that in the box.

After reading the sales package and wondering what is so great about the push on plate it occurred to me that they might be test driving a plan to make the side screws "speedy".

I just got mine in the mail too. Got all 10 receps and plates. Box was slightly opened though.

'Bout time something free comes to the house!

Let's hope not.

If you look at the design of the cover screw retainer, I can see how they could sell it. Push the screw in snug and tighten it from there. You might even get a bit of spring action to counteract expansion/contraction cycles.
Maybe I am overthinking this.
