Leviton is the brand I usually go for and I love their clamping system for wiring the device
Well, Leviton is the brand I usually go for and I love their clamping system for wiring the device. I purchased two of these for such a great price. However, I wired one GFCI with two regular receptacles going downstream that are "GFCI protect outlets".Here is my complain, I used my tester and all three devices in the circuit says "Correct" when I test them for proper wiring. I used my meter and all three give me 120v. So all is good so far. However, when I test and "reset" the GFCI, the LED light flashes ONCE and the LED light states blank. NO GREEN LIGHT.Has anyone else had this issue?So Wiring is correct, all receiving 120v but the LED status light blinks ONCE at reset and is OFF BUT the devices are all working properly.Defective?UPDATE: 8/23/17: I spoke with a tech support representative last night at Leviton and I questioned the above statement. Per the tech, Leviton has "significantly" reduced the brightness of the LED status light and he recommended looking at the status light at NIGHT TIME and I did just that. The light is faintly green but it is functional and operating properly. Customers were complaining about the LED status light being TOO bright in their homes that was more of a distraction while siting in a darken room. Makes sense.Also, the ONE BLINK of red status light the moment you reset the GFCI is NORMAL according to the representative that I spoke to.Overall, I am happy with my purchase! Thanks!

Nice outlet, but seriously Leviton, you had to swap the line and load locations???
this is a nice outlet at a solid price. I had an existing GFCI outlet that would no longer reset, so I swapped it out for this one. Now, this was a primary circuit outlet nicely wired in by the builder of the house, so it has 7 solid copper wires going to it (3 hot, 3 neutral, 1 ground) all nicely wired in and bend and packed into the outlet box. Replacing this outlet should have been a simple "pull the receptacle out of the box, disconnect the wires, reconnect the wires to the new receptacle, and nestle it back into the outlet box". Instead, because Leviton decided to swap around the line and load locations, I had to unpack a nest of wires, wrestle them all around to fit the new locations, and then re-nest the bundle of seven wires back into the outlet box... and that was WAY more work than it should have been just to replace a receptacle. Seriously, Leviton, your hot and neutral are in the normal locations, your ground is in the normal location, but you had to switch around the line and load locations? If I have another GFCI go out, I'll probably pay a little more and get a receptacle that is laid out the same to make replacement easier/quicker... a few extra $$ is worth it to me for a quick and easy replacement.

WIRING IS REVERSED LOOK AT THE DIAGRAM!
To preface, I have installed/replaced at least a few GFCI outlets in my life with success, and this is the first time I came across one that was wired the opposite of all the other GFCI outlets I have worked with.Every other time I replaced one, I simply pulled the old one out, and went around the connectors, detaching wires from the old one, and attaching them to the new one, one by one, to make sure I didn't mix up any wires, and to make sure they got wired to the correct connectors (I'm not an electrician, so I just go based off of looks for the most part, and a little common sense).Well this particular Leviton GFCI took me 3 tries to get right, and I only discovered the issue after looking at the wiring diagram, looking at the back of the Leviton GFCI, and then cross referencing with the back of the two older GFCI's I had laying around (I originally replaced the old 20amp with a new 15amp which was the only one at my local store, and then ordered this one to replace the 15 amp since it's a 20amp circuit), and this is what I discovered:The standard wiring (or what I am calling standard based off of majority vote from every GFCI I have purchased/pulled from walls), if you are looking at the back side of the GFCI, is as follows:At the top you have your two LOAD charges, black/live connects to the left, and white connects to the rightAt the bottom the have your two LINE charges, again with black/live on the left, and white on the rightAnd finally on the very bottom/underside you have your ground wire connection pointEvery GFCI outlet I have experience was wired as such, and this is how the Leviton GFCI differs:At the top, instead of 2 load charges, the two LINE connections are on the top this time, still with black/live on the left, and white on the rightAt the bottom you now have two LOAD CHARGE connections instead of the 2 line connections, and again still black/live on the left and white on the rightAnd then still the ground connector is on the very bottom/undersideTo summarize: normally GFCI outlets have the LINE connections at the bottom near the ground connection, and the LOAD up top, but these Leviton GFCI outlets have the LOAD connections at the bottom with the ground, and the LINE up top.This means if you wire the outlet exactly like the one that was in your wall it will not work. you have to flip your black wires, and flip your white wiresFor me 2 black were on top and 1 black on bottom, and 2 white on top 1 white on bottom, and had to change it to 1 black on top and 2 black on bottom, and 1 white on top and 2 white on bottom)Other than that, the GFCI works as it should and solved the electrical issues I was having in this room.Just, you know, look at the thing before you put it in..

China and poor quality, do not buy
I thought I was buying the best to replace one that would not reset after buying new house.Replace just fine and worked for 6 months, which at that time this one would not reset. I checked the wires by insulation resistance and each wire on the load side was over 15 meg ohm between each wire and ground. Which are good reading if you don’t understand the testing. I bought 2 of these devices in case other gfic May go bad but the new one was the one going bad. I replaced with like kind and it worked fine. I Searched My purchase to make this review and don’t recommend buying, the box shows it is made in China so that probably explains the poor quality and I will be searching to buy spare made in USA if that is possible.... cheap labor and poor qualityIn dry conditions these should last a lifetimeDo not buy

Works as intended, safe, easy to install.
The youtube video on how to install gives much better instructions than the included pamphlet.When tiling my kitchen, the metal trowel got too close to the wires and the outlet tripped preventing shock, couldn't be happier with my purchase!Love how the reset and test buttons are the same colour as the rest of the outlet, much sleeker design.

Muy satisfecho!
Gran opción! Bonito, de buen precio, llega en tiempo y es muy fácil de instalar. Sólo ojo! El color negro es muy delicado. La tapa es brillante y se raya fácil. Para los que son obsesivos, mejor comprendo en blanco.

Good product
Same as you buy at Home Depot. Good quality and works as it should. Colour in picture is accurate to product. A bit cheaper on Amazon as opposed to in stores, at least around me in Canada.

DOA out of box, not really slim -same depth as competetitors gfci
Bought a used one from amazon warehousedeals.Wired it up properly between load and line wires.Got a green status light, outlet will not work.It was likely returned because it was already broken :-(

It works as expected
I liked the color brown....I used it as a leader in a string of receptacles in the remodeled office.
