Consumer impact summary[edit | edit source]
ÅSKVÄDER uses a proprietary connector between modules and the "regular" wall outlet but the cable with Schuko to this proprietary connector has proven to be a major challenge to obtain. If IKEA decides to discontinue these cables all together, it means you'll likely have to throw out the entire system if said cable breaks for whatever reason. This issue could have easily been prevented by using a more standard connector like the C13 which can readily be obtained from a variety of sources and is highly unlikely to be discontinued.
