SparkyDonkey: Whoever invented these must be feeling very smug 😊.

Every electrician who uses these must have a smile on their faces. The concept is very clever, spring clip holds the cables securely without the need of a screwdriver saving bucket loads of time.

I bought this particular size, not because I needed them, but purely as an 'in case'. I do have several other sizes that I use on a regular basis but, I don't think that you can ever have too much of a good thing.

Barbershop: I haven't used the 5-way connectors yet but have used the 2 and 3-way connectors many times. These connectors allow you to join solid wire and wire braid very easily and reliably and have saved me lots of time in the process.

Will: No more stress of twisting 5 wires together & tuck those within the box, especially 12 gauge wires

Chuck Bader: Much tidier, easy to see. Make sure you always do a pull test as you insert each wire (important)
Watch out for ‘look alikes’. Stick with WAGO

Rubén: Los descubrí en redes sociales y desde esa es el único que compro. Fácil de conectar, buena calidad y gran resistencia. Mejor que una ficha normal.

B&K: This worked much better than a wire nut. Only needed 4/5 slots, but that’s okay. It accommodates different gauge wires.

Raoul Duke online shopper: I ordered these for a ceiling fan I installed in my kitchen. The box was on a three way switch, so there were multiple 12 awg neutral wires that needed to be connected together. I wasnt feeling super great about relying on the wire nut I put on since the 12 awg wire is so stiff and tough to braid together. I used the wago connectors instead. They are easy to install and clamp down on the wire securely. I put some electrical tap around the wago to make sure the orange clamps didnt accidentally lift up when pushing wires back up into the box. For obvious reasons they definitely clamp more securely on solid wire compared to braided.

I also used them when installing a pair of offroad lights on my truck. Easy to connect and easy to disconnect if I need to swap out the lights or change which uplifter switch they are connected to. Not sure how well they will hold up in this scenario since it is outdoors, but will wait and see.

Overall I would recommend these to a friend or use again. Just make sure you order them for the correct wire gauge you are using.

JHCCAZ: I purchased the 2, 3 and 5 terminal versions of these. Like many others, I think they are a major advancement over wire nuts. Also, for many tasks these are much better than other push-in connectors because it's so easy to un-do and re-do the connections - this is helpful not just for electrical purposes but also for changing and re-routing the tangled nest of wires inside a crowded box. Some push-nut connectors have release mechanisms, but they can be much harder to use than the handy little levers on the Wago nuts.

Another benefit of the lever-nuts is that you can easily test a connection before you finalize it, and there is no twisting & untwisting in the process, nor any need for separate clip leads etc. Some professional electricians might do this on the fly with the power on, but as a DIYer I never risk such testing with live house wiring. Set up proposed connection temporarily using the lever-nuts, go turn on the breaker to verify correct operation, then turn it off again and do the final cutting, stripping, connecting and box-packing.

The next version I'd love to see would be double-row versions for six or eight wires - explained below.
