Review on Enhanced Safety and Convenience with Leviton S7599 I Self Test Wallplate SmartLockPro by Gene Rosado

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GFCI helps best in sockets and accessories

Do you know the house from A Christmas Carol? Remember overloaded, underpowered outlets that go out when you turn on the tree? This is our house. We have replaced a number of our sockets with GFCI Leviton and they really help. Everything works better and it takes a lot less time to reset the circuit breakers when I accidentally turn on too many devices at once. However, we swapped one out the first time as we had a cat that liked to splash on the wall. One day he did his thing straight from the outlet and fried stuff - I figured I'd have to call the fire department before the smoke stopped. If your outlet is near a water source, these little GFCIs are a must! This time we replaced the outlet our microwave was plugged into and instead of waiting for my assistant, I turned off the power and did it myself. It took me five minutes, including the time it took me to read the instructions . The self-test function is also very practical. Smooth and easy, and a huge boon to security. I'll be changing a few more soon.

Pros
  • Reduced depth facilitates installation in control boxes
Cons
  • Without automation
