The concept depends merely on providing easy routing of the TV power, HDMI cable, and any other wires in-wall.

Cons

1 Works only on drywall and the like

Unfortunately, Legrand kit is designed to be applied on drywall. It might work on plaster with more hardness and effort, but it indeed cannot handle solid concrete walls. The hole saw won’t penetrate cinder blocks. Besides, the thicker and harder the wall is the more difficult the process will be. Probably that’s why some reviewers complained about the low durability of the hole saw and the difficulty of using it. To save yourself the trouble, make sure the walls of your home are suitable for the kit.

2 Some are not into DIY-ing

However Legrand kit is easy to apply by almost everyone, some are just not into the most straightforward DIY project. They don’t even have the patience to read the instructions. If you are one of them, you could ask for an installation service while you are purchasing the kit. Scheduling an install is whether by visiting the Bestbuy store or contacting the agents of the supplier online.
