Each 60W charger is surrounded by a unique heat sink folded from one sheet of aluminum. The back has two folds that form the two sides. Each side has folds that form the top and bottom. The top and bottom have one fold each that form the two mounting ears. This unique aluminum heat sink helps any heat flow forward out of the wall box.
Each 60W charger comes with wire leads attached. This is smart, partly because the aluminum heat sink has no room for screw terminals, but also so Leviton can make sure the lead wires are safe. Their insulation says 12AWG, PVC, 105°C, 600V.
The leads have stranded wire (versus solid). This is a good case to use WAGO Lever‑Nuts (in my photo with my hand). I stripped the wires with a Knipex automatic wire stripper (model 12 62 180). I set the bottom red slider to strip wires to 11mm length (per WAGO instructions), and I set the top red slider all the way forward to strip thick insulation (per my experience). This stripped the insulation neatly without nicking any wire strands. Finally, to insert the stranded wires into Lever‑Nuts, I twisted each stranded end of a wire (with my thumb and forefinger), then I inserted each wire with a twist in the same direction. This kept the wire stranding neat.

Junk
Bought in October. Barely three months later both USB-C ports have died.

Solid Outlet Upgrade
I had the 30W and 60W dual outlets professionally installed during renovations and very glad I did. Both charge my tablets and phone and the 60W USB‑C port can power my laptop. Cords fit in securely into ports without wiggling. I have found that the AC receptacle on the 60W can sometimes require some extra push to seal plugs but I'm not sure if thats from the way the electrician fitted the installation or the design as the 30W outlets aren't as stiff.
They have been reliable with no dropouts. The USB wattage labeled on the outlet for those who have both the 30W and 60W outlets installed.

Good outlet but definitely needs a large receptacle box.

Faster charging
I replaced a 30w version for this 60w version and it’s much more serviceable for laptops. It is big, so make sure you have room in your electrical box for some wire nuts. In my case, it was the end of the line so no daisy chain was necessary. Definitely would recommend this product but make sure you know if it will fit. Also some people report weirdness with certain PD voltages but I have yet to come across that.

Does not work with Apple HomePod Mini
Leviton model T-5636 does not work with Apple HomePod mini. You will get the flashing orange dome on the HomePod. However, Leviton model T-5635, at less than half the price seems to work fine. I can also confirm that the Legrand Radiant model R26USBPD works great with the HomePod mini.

Stopped working in a few months
Bought a well-known brand Leviton for reliability and quality. Unfortunately, both proved to be wrong. The quality of welding is extremely low (see a picture). The PCB has multiple tin spheres that can shorten microchips. And the outlet stopped charging in a few months. Fortunately, it didn't cause a fire, at least. The USB ports also do not work with HomePods mini 20W even when a single port is used.

Received a used & damaged product
This electrical outlet is clearly used and damaged. It arrived loose in a shipping bag without the manufacturing packaging, instructions or cover plate.

It may be a tight fit - Couple of tips...
It might be worth hiring an electrician versus DIY. Probably about $150 job in the USA.
Most people are going to install this in a one gang box (pic with nails). The standard outlet boxes are typically 2.75" deep, the wall charger socket is 1.75" deep not including the wiring hanging off the back.
--> Be sure you use large enough wiring nuts. Many of these boxes are going to be in the middle of a daisy chain and there can be as many as 3 other cables coming into the box that need to be wired up. Use the proper size wire nuts (generally large than you think) when adding the wires from the wall charger.
--> A little wire trimming may be necessary. Its going to be a super tight fit in the best of conditions if you hope to get the wall charger flush with the dry wall. At best you are going to have to cram all that wiring in an already crowded 1 inch space behind the wall charger receptacle. You may have to trim some of the excess slack wire and cut them a little shorter to get it to fit. Remember at the very least you are going to have 3 bundles of wires with three wire nuts in that little tiny void in the back. Keep that a top of your mind when installing. It's the hardest part!
Another option would be to install a deeper outlet box like that second pic...

Not a suitable replacement for a power brick for laptops
Works fine for iPhone iPad fast charge 20+ watts. But not for laptop. Tested with Razer Blade 14 and LG gram 14. Worked fine plugging in to charge with laptop lid open. And continued charging at acceptable rate after closing lid. However if you plug in with lid closed, the Razer blade 14 would net to 0 watts and Lg gram 14 would only net 5 watts. Used same cable with 45 type C brick and charged at full wattage when plugged in with lids closed. Going back

Great device. Supports 9V 2.2A profile just fine.
Despite previous reviews, I can confirm that I'm
seeing 9v 2.2amp supported just fine on this
outlet when attached to an iPhone. So it does
not appear to be a limitation of the outlet but
as Leviton support suggested: how Apple may
have designed its HomePod Mini.

Does not work for all Pd profiles!
Just installed. Aside from some difficulty using Ideal In Sure push connects these installed in minutes (The wires are standed and hard to get in the connectors).
The big hangup is the HomePod mini which utilizes 9v 2.22a and works with all my other third party wall adapters, flashes orange when plugged into either USB outlet and does not work! So this does not work for all PD 3 devices. I've noticed other 9v 2.x accessories don't work properly either - like an Eero, so something is going on with that profile.
Will update once tech support lets me know what’s going on… Would love for this to work properly!
Edit 3/24/2021:
Leviton support has responded stating the fault is with Apple and the device is working as intended (and boldly claimed that the HomePod mini shouldn't work with ANY third party adapter which is simply not true!). Strange given their 30 watt version (T5635) works with the HomePod mini. These are going back. Shame!
Because this also doesn't work with an eero Pro that needs 2.67A, I can say the Leviton does not support 9v 3a like it says on the packaging. So knocking this down to 1 star.
Edit 3/28/2021:
I bought a USB-C voltage tester and noticed this device does not work with ANY 9v PD devices. It briefly attempts to negotiate 9v but then drops to 5vs. This means 9v devices either don't work or will work at reduced capacity.
Items I tried: iPhone plugged directly via USB-C, Apple Duo Charger, Eero Pro, Ravpower Magsafe charger, HomePod mini.
All the devices work and negotiate properly on other 3rd party chargers so while it COULD be Apple related - I suspect they messed up the 9v profile.
