Leviton GFCI Outlet Review

Our Summary

The Leviton GFCI outlet is for kitchens, bathrooms, garages and laundry areas where the code asks for ground fault protection.

The outlet cuts power if it detects a ground fault, which protects against shock. Leviton says it has improved immunity to high frequency nuisance tripping and a reset and lockout feature that stops the reset if the GFCI is unable to respond or is wired wrongly. It runs an automatic self-test and has an LED indicator. Tamper-resistant shutters block objects such as keys. It is white and about 1.69 by 1.32 by 4.21 inches, and weighs about 0.31 pounds. The part number is GFTR1-W.

Turn off the breaker and test the wires before installing, and hire a licensed electrician if you are not sure, since a wrong hookup can leave the circuit unprotected. The listing does not give the amp rating, and the model text looks like a catalog code. The warranty field only says manf. Test the outlet monthly with the test and reset buttons. Local code may require a weather-resistant version outdoors, and this page does not say it is one.

Best-Fit Shopper

This style of electrical suits shoppers who already know they need standard outlets coverage and want a Leviton option with transparent listing details.

It is a weaker match if you need a fully custom install, a different capacity class, or a feature the hub row simply does not list.

What to Double-Check

Trade-offs are normal in standard outlets. A design that wins on portability may give up enclosed storage; a long wireless claim may assume open line-of-sight; a high load rating usually assumes even distribution.

Our Storage Pick badge is editorial shorthand for “worth considering in this category,” not a guarantee for every floor plan, campsite, or property layout.

Alternatives Context

Against generic no-name alternatives, Leviton listings often win on clearer packaging and easier returns through Amazon — still read the live seller and fulfillment line.

Against premium ecosystems, this unit may look simpler. That can be a feature if you want fewer apps and more straightforward hardware.

Final Buying Notes

Buy the Leviton GFCI Outlet if the hub numbers and feature set line up with your standard outlets job. Skip it if you need a capability the listing does not document.
