I bought the BG Electrical Outdoor Double Switched Power Wall Plug Socket for use in my garden and shed, and overall I’m very impressed. It feels solid and durable straight out of the box, with a robust design that gives me confidence it’ll last through all types of weather. The IP66 weatherproof rating means it handles rain and dust reliably, which is exactly what I needed for outdoor power tools and lighting.  The installation was straightforward with clearly marked terminals and multiple cable entry points — even for a non-professional DIYer like me it was easy to fit. The switches click confidently and the hinged cover feels sturdy enough to protect against moisture.  Compared to other outdoor sockets I’ve looked at, this one offers excellent value for money. It’s priced well and performs just as well (if not better) than more expensive alternatives.  Minor note: the latch on the cover is a bit snug at first, but that just means a tighter weather seal once installed.  👍 Pros: • Solid build quality and reliable weatherproofing  • Easy to install with clear instructions  • Great value compared to alternatives  👎 Cons: • Cover latch can be a bit tight initially  Would highly recommend this outdoor double socket for anyone needing a dependable outdoor power solution!

You can plug a washing machine into the socket and the washing machine will work ok if the socket is connected to a 240vac supply. The socket is for out door use and must be used in conjunction with a 30mA RCD for safety. You would not use a washing machine out doors in the open. Do not put the socket in a washing machine. Hope this helps. **Q: Will the unit take large transformer plugs and still close?** A: Good evening to you Miss Challen. In answer to your question about fitting transformers into this electrical unit, unfortunately not the lid will not close. SORRY.What I have done is to purchase a large waterproof blank junction box and fitted it to a wooden post, fit an electrical extension lead depending on length and then you can plug in your transformer inside the junction box. Just remember to drill a couple of drain holes on the underside to let air in and condensation out, then just run your extension lead through to your 2 gang box. Hope I have not confused you to much. Cheers Keith. **Q: unit is indicating fused? is this repairable?** A: The socket is not fused. You will have a fuse in the device plugged in to the socket. For protection it is recommended you connect this back to your consumer unit with MCB and RCD protection.You can also get a BG WP22RCD this is a double socket with built-in RCD protection in the same size unit as a BG WP22. **Q: Hi what sort of 3 core cable would i need to run outside As im going throw a conservrity under decking back up throw the decking and fixed to a wall?** A: Should be 4mm SWA cable. Rats take a liking to electrical cable under decking. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Worth it! *by E***E on 17 December 2025* ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Reliable & Well-Built Outdoor Power Socket — Great Value!
