Bachmann ELEVATOR 2 retractable 2-socket outlet, 2x CEE7/3, 0,5m, matt black (BM0020503)

What makes the Bachmann ELEVATOR 2 in matte black the ideal retractable built-in socket for the kitchen?

The Bachmann ELEVATOR 2 built-in socket in matte black is specially designed for use in modern kitchens. Unlike conventional power strips or fixed wall sockets, the retractable socket disappears completely into the worktop and only appears at the touch of a finger. The soft-opening mechanism ensures smooth, quiet extension—without any jerky popping up. When retracted, only a discreet matte black surface remains visible, which integrates seamlessly into dark kitchen designs and modern worktops made of granite, quartz composite, or ceramic. With two protective contact sockets (CEE 7/3), the ELEVATOR 2 provides sufficient connections for kitchen appliances such as blenders, kettles, coffee machines, or kitchen scales. Its compact design and well-thought-out retractable concept make it the perfect solution for those who prefer a tidy and stylish kitchen without visible cables and sockets.

What safety features does the ELEVATOR 2 socket offer for the kitchen?

In the kitchen, water and electricity frequently come into contact—especially on the worktop during cooking, washing, and cleaning. The Bachmann ELEVATOR 2 (BM0020503) is equipped with certified splash protection to IP44. This reliably protects the socket from water splashes from all directions and allows safe use even in close proximity to the sink, hob, and faucet. Protective contact sockets of Type F comply with the German standard and ensure a safe, grounded connection for all connected devices. When retracted, the socket is additionally protected against dirt, dust, and moisture, which extends the life of the contacts and improves hygiene in the kitchen. The robust construction from high-quality materials ensures that the soft-opening mechanism functions reliably even after thousands of operations.

How easy is it to install and retrofit the retractable built-in socket?

Installation of the ELEVATOR 2 is straightforward and also well suited for retrofitting. The built-in socket fits the common 80 mm standard cut-out and requires only 180 mm installation depth—these correspond to the usual dimensions of kitchen worktops and cabinets. This makes it suitable for both new installations and retrofitting in existing kitchens without requiring extensive renovation work. The 0.5 m short connection cable is particularly suitable for direct connection near an existing flush-mounted box, which further simplifies installation. The ELEVATOR 2 can be flexibly integrated into worktops, cabinets, kitchen islands, and even desks. The matte black finish is resistant to fingerprints and blends harmoniously into contemporary kitchen concepts with dark surfaces. Whether in the kitchen, home office, or conference room—the Bachmann ELEVATOR 2 offers an elegant power supply solution wherever sockets should only be visible when needed.

For which application areas is the Bachmann ELEVATOR 2 particularly suitable?

The Bachmann ELEVATOR 2 in matte black is not only designed for the kitchen but proves itself wherever an elegant and space-saving power supply is required. In the kitchen island it provides centrally placed sockets without visible cables. In the home office it disappears discreetly into the desk surface after charging laptops and smartphones. In conference rooms it gives participants quick access to power without affecting the room design. It also proves to be a practical and aesthetic solution at reception desks, in hotel rooms, and in hair salons. The combination of IP44 splash protection, soft-opening mechanism, and the high-quality matte black finish makes the ELEVATOR 2 the most versatile retractable socket on the market.
