Product review (5 stars): Great for home entertainment/computer system
Why would anyone install a hospital grade power outlet in their home?  At the top of the list would be  why not, it doesnt cost anymore.  But there are a few very real reasons I chose this over what I could buy in the local hardware store for about the same price.  My installation is a one of the most critical locations in my home  the power outlet that feeds my entire home entertainment system and also feeds several very important devices that must stay plugged in at all times.

1. The fit of this outlet is extremely tight when you plug a power cord into it. Audiophile agree that the A.C. power supply can have an important effect on audio/video performance. The tight contact is one small part of my entire effort to supply as clean of a power source to my system as I can.

2. Unlike decora-type outlets I can screw a cord retainer into the outlet itself (because of the central screw hole). This allows me to assure that cords won't be accidentally pulled out.

3. The cord retainers are not fool-proof. The bright red color of this outlet serves as a warning reminder to me and others that the items plugged in to it are critical and must not be unplugged.

Im sure with sensitive calibrated equipment measurements could be made comparing this outlet to the cheapest ones that sell for a couple of dollars.  To me, a tight fit and a caution color is important enough that I would choose this outlet, especially if it doesnt cost substantially more.
