by It’s an annoying drawback of the technology-driven world we live in: the more gadgets we own, the unsightly the power cords that dangle, tangle and squirm around our homes. If only there was an easy solution that could clean up the sprawling mess. Spoiler alert: it is. Meet the Sleek Socket Ultra-Thin Electrical Outlet Cover, an inexpensive way to manage the rat’s nest that has gathered around your electronics.
Oh, and this is even cheaper than usual, as it’s currently on sale for just $24 from Amazon. That will certainly “generate” some interest!
With the Sleek Socket you have more space against the wall, because you no longer have to stick a whole bunch of plugs out of your sockets. It also has a 1 meter cable that can easily be hidden behind your electronics, clamped to your baseboard or stored behind your workstation. The end result is a power solution that blends into the background – with outlets that “look so much cleaner,” as one customer said, adding, “I love how minimal and clean these make our home look!”
It is especially ideal for tight spaces or apartment dwellers whose lease prevents them from providing a more invasive solution. “[I] needed something simple and easy to use that could be done quickly [be] installed in my rental home,” one savvy buyer shared. “This was honestly a good option and it’s not that noticeable! I love it… A great option for those who rent.”
Look mom, no cables! (Amazon)
“I didn’t know these existed!!” was delighted with this fan. “They work great behind a shelf or dresser, they allow the shelf to slide flush against the wall and still allow three things to be connected to it!”
This customer said: “I saw this online and thought it was a great idea to solve the problem I was having – because of the sockets behind the sofa, plugging in anything like lights and chargers would cause problems [a] large space between the wall and the sofa. But with this nifty little solution everything is now flat and… [there’s] nothing to see. Works fine.”
Cords? Which cords? I don’t see any wires! (Amazon)
The Sleek Socket can even help baby-proof. “Super easy to install and [the] Perfect length to keep out of our new baby’s hands,” said one parent. “Because of the way the room was set up, the electrical outlets were always near the crib. This one is flat enough that her little fingers couldn’t get behind it, making it easy for us parents to sleep. Highly recommended.”
“Don’t get me wrong, I love this outlet cover/extension cord,” said an overall satisfied reviewer. “It hides the plug-ins for our TV beautifully, and we’ve talked about buying more for our home. The only complaint I have is that the adhesive used to secure the cord to the wall is wearing off the paint takes with it if it was moved.”
“I really wish they would make a TV mount option with a longer cord (10 to 10 feet),” said one buyer. “Overall the product is great, it just didn’t meet my specific needs.” (Need something longer? See below for the 2.4 meter long version.)
