Likes, having used it for many months: price, totally waterproof (at least from rain; I've never submerged them), lightweight, very secure and simple closure system, large enough to accommodate a timer and multiple sockets, more than one pair of cable ports, tough and durable, simple hinge systemDislikes: none, I'd buy these again ... and all the above also applies to a smaller box of the same type, which I also bought, the only difference being that the internals are smaller and there are fewer cable ports, which was what I wanted

A good idea, but not very well made (or not well quality-controlled or both) and expensive for what they are, patent notwithstanding - essentially a slightly fancy plastic box. I got one as a Warehouse Deal, and it arrived with one of the insulation bits missing for the cable. Am sure Amazon will sort it out for me, but don't see how it could've come loose.. The others are stuck down quite firmly, you'd have trouble removing them, so guess this left the factory like this. For this price, you'd think they could afford decent quality control.. I paid a bit over £6 and it then cost around £7 new. Now they're nearly £9.50, which I think excessive.. They also do medium and large sizes (even more expensive).. They are reasonably sturdy, though, and will probably last a long time. The hinges used to secure it come loose sometimes, but only if they're open, once it's shut, they're secure. The lid is reasonably easy to open and close, although the clips can be a bit stiff. The inside available space on this size is 22 cm long, 11 cm wide and 9 cm deep, although not all of this space is fully available: there are 2 square pillars in the middle of each short side, on which the insulation material for the cables sits. These are around 3 cm square, so you've only got 16 cm length fully usable inside. Please see pictures, I've probably not explained that well. The outside measurements are 27 cm length, 15 cm width and 10 cm depth, with the lid attached. It's not big enough for a 4-gang extension socket, although a timer for a seed heating mat and the socket for the heat mat just about fit inside - I'll reluctantly pay the price for another one for this purpose. I bought this for a 2 plug socket on my outside extension lead, which fits easily with plugs in both sockets. If there is such a thing, a 3-gang extension socket would probably just about fit with plugs in it, although haven't tried this. The position of the cable feeds are not ideal in my view. If they'd put them in the corner of the short sides, or one (or better yet 2) on the long side, it would be far easier to feed the cables through and would've been more space efficient. As they are, if you're using a normal extension lead, you have to bend the cables for the devices around in quite a tight bend, which will surely lead to wear of the cables over time - don't think cables are meant to be bent that much. With the medium and large size boxes, the cable feeds are on the long side, which is better, but not ideal, either. One cable feed would be better on the short side of the box. As it's got a US patent, I imagine they're not designed with British sockets in mind. I've only used mine outside once so far, when it wasn't raining much, but am sure it's fully waterproof, or would be, with all the insulation pads. The entry points for cables are cushioned from above and below with silicone pads, to give a tight seal. It's not very heavy, so if it's being left in place permanently, might need to be weighed down. They're very handy for anything electrical outside, and would recommend and buy again, despite the price and shoddy quality control. Other brands cost just as much or more - some come with extension leads, though, so might work out a better price if you need one.

Great little box, does exactly what it needs to do with minimal fuss, well designed and simple to use. Simplicity in use is important as it makes it easy to have a safe, IP55 rated protected connection.For reference it is big enough to hold a standard 2g extension lead and should be deep enough to house a transformer plug. I would not use it for more than 1 cable per side because that would compromise the sealing around the cables and thus the IP rating.

Sturdy and waterproof

Nice size and it's nice and big got it out side I've had rain and it works thanks

Great dri-boxes. Quick and easy to use, easy to update and change - quite bulky but as expected and no cable cutting needed.

I'm a bit disappointed with this for 3 reasons: (a) the plastic it's made of is a bit flimsy. (b) the cable clips which are supposed to stop the cables pulling out are only held in by a couple of small pegs and keep dropping out. (c) the lid doesn't fasten securely. The instructions talk about using cable ties to attach the lid securely but it's not clear how you'd do that and in any case it's a bit messy and makeshift.
