Review on KAIWEETS Outlet Tester: Advanced GFCI Receptacle Detector with LCD Display and Wiring Legend - Enhance Home Safety with 6 Visual Indications by Scott Yenson

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Broke after 15 minutes

I usually use another well-known brand socket tester, but I chose this tester because it has an additional voltage display function. I've recently completed a lot of electrical work and had to test a lot of outlets. I started using this tester and everything was fine for the first few sockets. (A well-wired outlet will indicate that the first 2 of 3 lights are lit on the tester. Any other configuration and the outlet is miswired.) After testing the first half dozen outlets, I noticed that only one LED was lit on the tester, which signals a malfunction. open ground". Then I realized that EVERY SOCKET suddenly encountered an open ground problem, even the first good sockets I had tested before. Then I realized that the TESTER WAS BAD - WAS A CHEAP LED blown The tester looks decent but mine didn't last just 15 minutes of use This was my experience.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • Very expensive
