This version just plugs into an outlet. No wiring necessary. But the one I bought from Amazon was likely counterfeit. After a few weeks plugged in, it smoldered and smoked and almost caught fire. Could have burned my house down if I wasn't there and noticed it. Bad news! Do not buy!

You must remove your old power point & replace it with this one. Only buy it if you're prepared to do electrical work & make sure you turn off the power. It's very large, so ensure you have plenty of room in your wiring box

You need to wire into an existing outlet at baseboard level, via an Electrician.

You mean to charge the unit or to charge something else plugged in to the unit?

I do not have the faintest idea, I just plugged it into the wall. Just a regular plug.

Plugged it into a regular wall outlet, which has other equipment on it, ie lights, fan and it has not been an issue. I use 20 amp breakers.

That wouldn't be a good idea because you will be removing a built-in protection against electrocution/short circuits and I'm sure it's against the building code. I would find another outlet to replace.

You can purchase an ac wall unit that accepts USB plugs. Many electronics are going this way and you may already have one.

All i do is plug it into a wall outlet, what alternative way are you looking for?

The ac plus plugs straight in to a wall outlet. It's better. If you don't buy the ac plus, you need to buy an external power source. I found that out the hard way. I would recommend the x4 ac plus

This is a 1 piece unit that plug directly into an outlet. I bought a refurbished unit it works, and looks like new.

It completely replaced mine. There is no outlet plate behind mine; I don't think the adapter would fit securely or safely if there was a plate behind it. You screw the adapter unit directly to the outlet, not the outlet cover plate.

The one we have plugs directly into regular wall socket. Nothing special required.

This item is a switched outlet, allowing power to an item plugged in to be switched on and off at the wall.

Your electrician will need to run a wire out of the wall and hook it up to the mirror versus a cord in the back to plug into an outlet.

YES you can plug it into any AC wall outlet. In fact I have not yet put any batteries into it, I always run it on AC power.

Thanks, Stan! Yeah, I've since checked w/ my local building dept. and it's definitely a no-no to run any AC power cord inside of a wall in any size, shape or form. Period. Will try adding a receptacle behind the TV because I loathe any kind of visible conduit, however discreet it might look. Hopefully, one of the two existing receptacles in the area are the last on a line. Otherwise, I think I'd have to bring an electrician into the picture. [Groan!]

I personally would not swap it out. That outlet is there to protect you from being electrocuted. Usually wet areas like kitchens and bathrooms have them where most accidents happen. I would look elsewhere to install it.
