I've put a couple in my kitchen, basically replaced two of the more accessible worktop-height dual sockets.
Very handy for topping up phones, iPads etc. I don't see any great use for them on low-level sockets though, unless you fit a long captive lead to a more convenient resting place for the device.

Fantastic transformation Marcin, and I can't agree more about Worcester (Bosch) boilers. After two new boilers in 5 years, I bought a Worcester. That was over 10 years ago. Much cheaper in the long run.
USB sockets neat

+1 about the Worcester.
Fitted one early last year and the gas bill is now at a third.

Great transformation of the kitchen there Marcin - and your gaming set up is something to behold too! Just needs a D2 S8 seat now.
