Don't waste your time.

My best advice is not to use these screws. The screws come loose and once you get to work, restarting is inconvenient. I couldn't believe how much time I wasted trying to install them (I've installed LOTS of GFCIs, these are the worst). Another reason is that there is only one way to insert the wire into the hole on the back using the pull tab (not the auto crimp or external tab). Let's just say these went in the trash and I bought good quality ones from a store. I would NOT buy these.

Pros
  • Pleasant to use
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

I live in a relatively old house with old 2-prong outlets that don't allow you to use 3-prong (grounded) products without an adapter, so I replaced them to save myself the trouble, to find an adapter. This is still only a two wire system so they do not act as equipment grounds and should be labeled as such. The sockets were easy to swap out and came with good instructions and labels when needed. I can't say if they are weatherproof as mine are all in them.

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons

It's good when they work, but some suffer from quality control issues.

When they work, they work well, but one of them I got immediately after installation made a lot of noise, buzzed and smoked. The electrician said it was very dangerous. The problem is, if you buy five packs of Revain, it's difficult to get a partial refund. In this case it's all or nothing and I'm not removing the ones that were good in order to get a full refund. The labor costs more than the refund costs. They need better quality control and that's the main thing. Buyer Warning. Buy more than

Pros
  • There are few competitors

Inconsistent Delivery - Update - Great Customer Service

Two of the five in the package were non-functional. They have been opened, labels removed and are not working properly. **Update** ELECTECK staff contacted me about the issues with my product and quickly and promptly apologized for the shipping error. They have since provided additional working parts for those with problems. Overall I received a great product at a great price. Yes, we had an initial problem, but the interest in doing things right counts. Working with someone who cares aboutโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Quality Construction

Great in certain situations, but sometimes it's a waste of money.

They are approximately 20% larger than the corresponding Leviton GFCI. Difficult to use in a renovation when you need to fit this into an existing old box. If you want to connect it with screw terminals, that might be a problem. The hole around the screw head is small and its sides are flat. This can make it difficult to slip the wire under the screw head and bend it around the terminal. Also, the screw doesn't protrude that far when it's fully open. If you pre-bend the hook, it will beโ€ฆ

  • Indoor 15A Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) Outlets Suitable for Home, Office, Hospital, School.
Cons
  • Doubtful

I installed it myself and the price can't be beat

I hate paying people to do things for me, but let's face it, electricity is scary. However, I decided to give them a chance. If you've never taken an electrical class before, I highly recommend watching some YouTube videos first. First, GFCI adapters are lead loaded, which means you need to know which wires coming out of your wall carry power and which don't. They came with nice labels on the back so you know which color wire goes on which side, but most outlets have a series of lead (hot) andโ€ฆ

Pros
  • 3 year guarantee. ETL certified.
Cons
  • Little things

I ordered them online to get the house I was selling up to the code. After replacing the first standard outlet with one of these, I realized something was wrong with the electricity and I couldn't figure it out. So I called an electrician. Without noticing any disrespect, he wondered if I had made a mistake. Not being an electrician, I didn't blame him and was very happy that he could offer me this "simple solution" at a great price and replace other outlets. He called me back a few hours later

Pros
  • Rear and side wiring for easy installation. Decorator wall plates and screws included.
Cons
