Review on 💡 Legrand Radiant White USB GFCI Outlet, 15 Amp Tamper-Resistant, Self-Test, Type A/C - Model 1597TRUSBACW by Travis Caminiti

This GFCI/USB combo jack is a great way to reduce clutter when charging your phone/tablet in the kitchen, bathroom, garage or other GFCI protected area. As you'd expect from Pass & Seymour, the quality is top-notch, with tamper-resistant sockets that are secure, yet easy to use (much less finicky than other brands of TR sockets I've used). The device is equipped with a red LED display that only lights up in the event of an error, so that no disturbing lights can be seen during normal operation. devices/cables. However, it is disappointing that only 2.1A (10W) of charging capacity is shared between both ports. This means choosing between charging one device at normal speed or charging two devices slowly. It's also worth noting that the charging ports are independent of AC outlets, so your USB devices won't lose power if the GFCI is triggered. Installation is easy and the bezel is conveniently included, but this unit is much thicker than a regular GFCI outlet (5/8 inch larger than the one I replaced). Due to the unit's overall depth of 2-1/4 inches (of which approximately 2 inches is behind the mounting bracket), a very deep electrical box is a must. The good news, however, is that both side and rear clamp wiring methods are supported, just like a regular outlet. This is a huge advantage over some other brands' GFCI/USB combo devices that use wired connections that add even more wires and connectors an already crowded switch box.) Overall, this GFCI/USB combo jack is high quality, well designed, and made by a trusted brand. I just wish it offered more power for USB charging as the total 10W output pales in comparison to the fast charge standards supported by most of the latest phones and tablets.
