Review on ✨ Legrand Radiant Tamper Resistant Self Test 1597TRUSBAA: Advanced Electrical Outlet with USB Ports, Enhanced Safety Features by Jasneet Jazzy

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Great combo socket for modern homes

I have installed GFCI and USB combo outlets in both new construction and renovation. They offer great utility and convenience in today's world of USB charging. Prices have also gradually come down as they are becoming more popular and available from almost all manufacturers. However, due to supply chain issues and the current state of world events, it appears to be higher at the moment. This product is from Pass and Seymour as you would expect from a major manufacturer like them. It is of very good quality and from a well-known brand in the electronics industry. It comes with a matching wall plate. You should get many years of reliable use from it. GFCI sockets are self-tested 24/7, so over the years I've found them to fail, and usually the symptom is that they can't be reset using the "reset" button on the front of the socket. . At some point it will have to be replaced. The combination of USB charging and GFCI protection circuitry in one device also makes it vulnerable to the potential failure of one function before the other. However, the aesthetics and the convenience of not needing a wall charger are very appealing. 4 solid stars.

Pros
  • Includes traditional sockets and two USB Type-A ports for convenient charging. Shares the 2.0A charging capacity between both ports. Can provide ground fault protection for downstream outputs through loop-through wiring.
Cons
  • Something else
