My old GFIC was humming and getting warm to the touch. It was an easy install. Remove the old GFIC, test the wires and confirm which is the load and which is the line, attach as listed. Energize and reset. It’s working perfectly, not humming, not warm to the touch. Glad I made the upgrade to this new outlet.

Easy to install and work the first time. Excellent product. Meets my need for a switch to a light and an idependent outlet

I needed to upgrade my outlet in my bathroom. Easy to install, fit was great for a smaller box. Night light is a nice addition.

The media could not be loaded. If you came to this page to purchase this product, you know what AFCI is and what it does.It is great for the peace of mind, seeing as arc fires are the most common type of electrical fire.It is also a great way to meet the code if you are extending an existing circuit or running a new one, and they don't manufacture AFCI breakers for your panel.This receptacle is a great alternative to the more expensive AFCI breaker, and it is THE ONLY alternative if your panel is old and they don't make AFCI breakers for it.My situation is somewhat specific: They DO make AFCI breakers for my panel (GE), but GE's AFCI's are notorious for nuisance tripping when you're using X10 remote switches in combination with high loads (space heaters) or motor loads (vacuums). Having gotten tired of the nuisance tripping, I decided to go with a regular breaker and AFCI receptacle.With this receptacle, I haven't seen any nuisance trips yet.Be careful though: Unless you can tie tripping to something very specific (such as running a vacuum), be very wary when your AFCI trips. If it happens repeatedly and without an obvious reason, call an electrician right away, because most likely AFCI is doing its job and is detecting an arc somewhere.This is NOT a "combination" AFCI. Combination devices work with series and parallel arcs. Non-combination ones, such as this receptacle, work with parallel arcs only. Not a big deal though.From what I read, parallel arcs are the much, much greater danger accounting for the much greater portion of fires, so I am fine with not having a combination device.And even if you're not a believer in AFCI, you are still supposed to have any electrical work you've done permitted and inspected, otherwise you're running a risk of having your insurance claim denied.Yes, there are some AFCI doubters out there, even though to me it is as silly as questioning gravity.So, what are the code requirements?Per year 2011 and 2014 NEC 210.12, if you're adding a new circuit in most of the living areas or extending an existing one, you're supposed to protect it with an AFCI; Either with a combination AFCI breaker or a non-combination AFCI receptacle installed as the first receptacle on the circuit.When extending an existing circuit, you just have to replace the first receptacle on the circuit with an AFCI one.When running a new circuit, you can do the same thing, only the "home run", the run from the breaker to the first receptacle, has to be an armored cable (MC or AC/BX), and the first box has to be made of metal (which is a given anyway if you're using metal-jacketed cable).2014 code relaxed the requirement to say that if you're extending an existing circuit by less than 6 feet, you don't need to add AFCI.So now, for the product itself:Yes, it is bulky. I've been spoiled by the smaller new GFCI's that don't take up as much room in the junction box.This one is as big as the old-school GFCI's. I had to plan the wires carefully.Here's how I've done for the wiring:This was a new circuit, so I had to run an MC cable from the service panel to the first box.I pigtailed the ground wires; I had a 6" piece of ground wire screwed to the grounding terminal of the box. To that wire I've attached the ground wire from the supply cable, the ground for the load cable for the circuits downstream, and another 6" piece of ground wire to attach to the ground terminal of the receptacle. I twisted all four wires together, put a wirenut over it and stuffed it all the way to the back of the box with a handle of opened up slip joint pliers.Next, I've attached the hot (black) and the neutral (white) wires of the supply (line) cable to the Line terminals of the receptacle. The black goes under the yellow (gold-colored) screw, the white -- under chrome.I've attached the white and the black for the load (downstream receptacles) to the Load terminals.I ran a few windings of tape around the receptacle to cover the exposed screws.I bent the black and the white wires around the back of the receptacle so that they are folding as I'm pushing the receptacle into the box.I screwed everything down, turned the breaker on, and it worked.There is a trick with the test buttons: the Reset one is not strictly mechanical but rather electromechanical; You have to hold it in for a couple of seconds for it to re-engage.So, here's the quick summary of what I'm thinking so far:Great if your panel is old and you want to be in compliance with the code, or simply want to sleep well at night.Yes, it is bulky, so you will have to finagle the wires, especially if you have an existing box and you have to fit this thing in it.

My patio struggled with one thing, none of the outlets worked. I narrowed it down to the GFCI outlet not working due to water damage as the culprit. Looked as though the prior home owners used an indoor switch outside (yay for home inspections that miss these things). I am by no means an electrician but instructions were helpful and I followed them to a tee and what do you know, I have power again at an affordable price! Will buy again if I see any other outlets done poorly in the future around the house.

Swapped out the one in my bathroom for this one. The measley Christmas bulb nightlight was worthless compared to this. Very good nightlight output on this GFCI - enough so that I don't have to use a light when I get up at night.

Great product

Install was relatively easy but definitely a tight fit. Works as described without any issues to date.Went with this given it has the added security of being dual function rather than GFCI alone.As an added precaution, i wrapped the outer casing with electric take to avoid accidental contact with the box.

Bought this to replace my other GFCI that tripped and could not be reset. I almost bought the cheapest Amazon Basics one, but for the very reasonable Amazon price, I purchased a Leviton, which is a very reliable name. I like the LED light on the bottom, my old one didn't have one. Installed very easily and the fit was nice. Make sure you turn your power to the outlet off. My panel is badly labeled, so I just turned off the ENTIRE power to the panel, to make 100% sure it was off.

muy bueno producto, fácil de instalar, de buena calidad y sobre todo la seguridad que tiene al validar que esté bien conectado.

Muy bien hecho excelente producto utilisimo y muy recomendable

Just replaced an old one it was very simple and easy.
