How to hide robot vacuum power adapter?

[m32825]

We got this robot vacuum a few months back. Really like it. We've figured out where we want it to hang out when it's resting. I'm not a big fan of the "power adapter with cord hanging down" look. Is there some way I can put that adapter into the wall and run the power cable down so that it comes out above the baseboard right next to the vacuum's base?

The adapter says the output is 19V DC at 0.6 amps.

no you cannot hide the power adapter inside the wall, which would require burying the outlet inside the wall.

also the cord on the adapter is not rated for inwall use.

why not get some velcro straps and velcro tie the excess?

Put a table in front of it.

there is also light plastic raceway you can use....self stick...like:

they make angles, etc,

prolly cant hide the wall wart, but the wires yes

Looks unfinished. I believe you could tuck the cord behind the baseboard when you install that (is that ok per code?), but you are stuck with the outlet as is.

We use the plastic raceways here in my office to tidy up cords from TVs and equipment hanging on walls.

no you cant put a cord behind a baseboard.

could you get a doorbell transformer and run low voltage wire? I assume code still allows doorbells with the tformer at the breaker box with low voltage wire in the walls.

NuTone has one around 20v, and I see several 16v ones that people claim actually measure 19v.

just a thought...

Even though it's low voltage?

And I thought I had OCD, lol. Just put a neat little solid wood shelf in front of the plug and display some Franklin Mint collectible cars on it.

I have moved ours around a couple of times, its been here a few weeks, hidden under this bench. Move it around til the boss is happy. I will say, the thing works great, specially with a dog!!

Move the outlet ?

 

[m32825]

Thanks to all for the feedback. Yes, my OCD is probably wound up a little on this.

We keep getting more and more devices with their own special wall wart but there is little progress being made in the way of dealing with the spaghetti-fest of wires. We're going to need more tables, chairs, and spider plants!

Mine sits under a chair that''s against the wall. You'd never know it's there unless you go looking for it.

I was going to say, get a chair with legs, angle it in the corner and put the vac under it.

Maybe someone will integrate one with a La-Z-Boy recliner. At night the footrest pops up and lets the robot out, like a little garage door!

Get a flat plug extension cord and the velcro the wart to the base.

If you get a new base, there is no wart. I bought a second one so I could have a base at both ends of my house. Roomba docks where it wants to.
