I searched for QINLIANF but it returned 9 results which I couldn't make heads or tails of. Then I searched for the model #, HR-519D, and that did narrow it down. The listings show that this model is listed under different brands/names but all from the same manufacturer.

I don't understand the title of this listing. Recessed doesn't mean flush, and this thing is neither. It protrudes from the wall, as all outlet add-ons do.

Recessed means it sits deeper than the surface of the wall. Flush means it sits perfectly even with the surface of the wall (Most regular outlets don't even sit flush, they protrude about 3/16" or so)

This thing clearly sticks out from the wall about 1 1/2". You could say it sits tight against the wall, or you could say it protrudes from the wall, but two things it definitely does not do is sit recessed or flush to the wall.

FYI, you can buy both recessed and flush outlets. They require a little bit of electrical work and/or drywall modification. See images

I put "recessed" in the title because this style of outlet is unique to most other multi outlets in that the rear of the outlet box is "recessed." That is a proper use of the word - "recessed."

I do know what you're talking about as I have a in-wall recessed Pass & Seymour outlet box I had to cut into my kitchen wall and wire up, myself. None the less, I think it's clear from the many pics in the OP that this is NOT an in-wall recessed box.

Not sure I follow that logic, or that you and I have the same definition of "proper" among other words. Part of the device HAS a recess, you can state that, but you didn't.

The title implies that the entire device is recessed. It also somehow implies that the device is flush to the wall. It can't be both, and like I said before, it is in-fact neither.

Here is the listing title on Amazon:

Nowhere in that title does it claim to be flush or recessed. Probably because Amazon would make them change it if it did.

Nowhere in the description does it even say any form of the word "recess"
In the middle of the second bullet-point paragraph in the description, it does say,

which is a misnomer, but given the person who wrote the description obviously isn't a native English speaker, I'll give them a pass. Either way, "Flush to..." and "Flush Against..." mean completely separate things, and the latter mentioned is arguably improper.

Saying the pictures make up for misleading text, I don't think I can get on board with that either. I can't list a car saying "Mustang For Sale" and then show pictures of a Volkswagen and not expect to get hassled.
Do I also have to provide you a definition of "proper," now? How about we just start with the word "recess:"

Quote :

a recess lined with books
There's a recess in the back of the box, bro. It allows the outlet to rest "flush" against the wall (with no gap or space). Most everyone else gets it - but you. This isn't brain surgery and I'm not getting paid to write technical listings for Slickdeals… or the Chinese company that designed this damn outlet. I'm a dude that likes to post deals on SD and help other dudes that like to save money. So, if you don't like the way I post or describe deals, then please go and post your own or just block me - you won't have to put up with any more of my deal titles.

Goodnight!

Probably not the best idea to trust your home to a random name generator chinese product. Not saying all Chinese products are bad, but when they are from a company I can't even pronounce/nonsensical = big nope. Just because it has a lot of reviews does not sway me. Caveat Emptor

Almost bought but stupid "QINLIANF" branding
I always wonder why they don't pick a better name to brand themselves. Look at Anker. Same Chinese stuff but it at least sounds better.

Is it even smart buying an outlet that's not UL listed?
It is probably a better choice these days. Means manufacturer doesn't have to cut production cost to keep pricing even.
Meeting the latest version of NFPA code with AFCI breakers would be a much better idea, IMHO, although not cheap. But would be better than a truckload of UL crap.

Good luck explaining that to your insurance company when the house burns down. I mean use your exact "logic", hey brah, it is better to buy non UL listed. Betcha they cut you a check that day.

A device could be stamped ETL / UL / ... or what have you, in itself that is meaningless

These suspect products are often are stamped as rated and are never submitted for said rating

Inexpensive (kind attribution for crap) are known to be shortcut by companies of no provenance

The rating is only valid if it continues to be manufactured to the standard of the sample submitted

...

Therefore in an SPD, or whatever, you would need to stick with Tripp Lite / APC or a similar manufacture with a vested interest in producing to spec

Your purchase must also come from a legit supply chain

Was going to post this.

I would be very skeptical about purchasing charging plugs or power plugs that not were properly UL certified.
Being cheap does not help when the device starts a fire in the house.

Ordered last month. Works great. Unscrew the outlet plate and removed, then plug this in and screw in with long screw provided. It sits flush and way nicer than the extension cord previously used.
