My husband just installed this gfic by square d that we received complimentary from Influenster and square d and he said it was the best gfic that he has ever used/installed. It did not take him any time to complete. He said there were multiple wiring capabilities. In other words, you could loop, straight, push and they took the time to put in a good ground lug. Overall, I am happy because I got a new plug in for our back porch and he highly recommends this and says it’s the best one he’s seen on the market. He wishes we had these during our remodel.

To be honest I don’t know much about electrical items, luckily my dad does ! I had a wonky outlet in my bathroom for years and never did anything about it. When I received this item I knew exactly where to put it ! First off, I didn’t realize how dirty the other one was compared to this sparkling white beauty. The buttons in the middle for test and reset are very sturdy and not stuck inwards like my old one. This brand definitely makes great quality items In my opinion. If I were an electrician I have no doubt this would be my top brand !

As you can see it’s currently in use. It saved the day once we moved into our new home and our kitchen didn’t have a gfci and the that we bought wasn’t the right one! So this came in handy and has worked great!

I received this product in exchange for an honest review. This receptacle was so easy to install, and perfect for the updates we’re working on in our 1920s house. Instructions were straightforward, easy to follow. This is a great, easy way to update old outlets! I like that it has the reset button on it, and safety features.

I received this free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I have been working on projects around my house, and replacing my outlets was one of them. Now that i have installed this, i have to run to the store and buy more for the others in the kitchen. It is far more superior to what was taken out. I am shocked by what was installed previously in comparison to be honest. I do not like the resistance of plugging things in, but for the safety of my house and family, I will gladly trade it in for this protection. Thank you for finding a way for me to make my house even safer. It was super easy to install and i did not blow a circuit when i turned on the power and plugged something in, which is a feat in itself. When I finish buying and installing the others, I will update this review with complete pictures of the finished product.

I received this free from Influenster in exchange for my honest review. I received the Square D outlet and was surprised at how little I knew about this type of product. I know that in a hotel once that we couldn’t get anything to work and the desk said to try the reset button. Sure enough it worked. I realized that was what this product was at that moment. Just moving into our new place a few months ago, we have had trouble with the outlet in the bathroom driving me crazy. Luckily my husband is very knowledgeable and knew exactly what to do so it could be installed. Now every time I have my blow dryer and flat iron plugged in it doesn’t set it off. I’m glad to have a good quality product that can give me a little help when needed. Would definitely recommend!

I still had an outdoor receptacle that wasn’t protected by a GFCI receptacle. I decided to change that receptacle with this Square D GFCI receptacle. Once I shut off the power to the receptacle, it was easy to switch out the receptacle. The instructions are very easy to understand. The one thing that is different about this receptacle is that the LED indicator does NOT light when the GFCI is functioning properly. That is opposite of all the other GFCI receptacles that I have in the house. I am not saying that is good or bad, just different from the function that I am used to. In addition to a recommendation of manually testing this receptacle monthly, this receptacle will also test itself to confirm the GFCI electronics are functional. And the most comforting feature of this receptacle is that if the red LED begins to light, the GFCI stopped functioning and the receptacle must be replaced. A critical safety feature of an outdoor receptacle.
