Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons
The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

This plug is labeled as tamper resistant, so are all the outlets in our house. You do need to use wire nuts to get it wired in (there are no screw in or push in connectors) the wires are as thick as the 12 gauge wires.

It looks good and maybe it'll outshine the other, who knows. Tested it with a socket tester - gfci works well. Way less sketchy than other brands though.



Cons

The usb connectors are garbage. The usb c cables have to be constantly pushed back in. For something this expensive leviton really needs better quality control or a more robust design. Do not recommend for folks with modern apple products.

Leviton outlet requires five (5) wire nuts to fit in the outlet box. I assume they used stranded to try and make it easier to fit but it just makes the install way more difficult.

The left usb-a outlet seems to have a broken 9v profile. If you connect both ports on the outlet it seems to cycle between 9v/5v constantly. The gfci has no function, and the remaining receptacle on the circuit is thus dead as well.

Out of 5 leviton gfci's, four were verified defective. The retailer and manufacturer want to stick it to me! People don't return one outlet for instance, so a good portion of defective products ends up online and in the hands of the consumer.

Quality


Works perfectly, and very easy to install with either backwiring or screw terminals.


Seemed great quality i have bought others like this before and they are top quality


That's the only downside to this receptacle, just standard rate charging.


Item works great, but i had to make some modifications to my housing because i’m the product is too bulky

Price


It's kinda spendy, but worth doing if you need both usb and gfci protection in one device.

Shipping


I accidentally got sent black but amazon was quick to refund it.

Packaging/appearance


Those boxes were tiny, and considering it had 3 romex wires already in there, all 12 gauge, there was no way i could fit this t...  Read More


Installing was a little tight - this thing is large - thankfully the box i was installing it into was a pretty decent size.


So i ended up getting a 2 gang box, and used wago wire nuts to take up as little space as possible.

Competitiveness


No weird transformer whine or anything like that while charging that i've had with some other brands.


A little brand bias - all my receptacles and switches are leviton.


For context, i have been testing it with a few more power-hungry apple devices that use usb-c (m1 macbook pro, iphone 15 pro) a...  Read More
