GFCI Outlet with USB-C & USB-A 20 Amp - Combo GFCI with Self-Test

Our review of the SURAIELEC 20 Amp GFCI Outlet with USB Ports finds it best suited for homeowners who want a modern, safety-focused replacement for kitchen or bathroom outlets. The single biggest reason to buy is the integrated GFCI protection plus dual USB charging, which eliminates the need for separate adapters while protecting devices and people in wet areas. Installation is straightforward for someone familiar with wiring, and the self-test LED gives ongoing reassurance that the outlet is performing correctly.

Key Features

• Dual USB Ports: The built-in USB-C and USB-A ports provide convenient charging for phones, tablets, and toothbrushes without using the main receptacles.

• 20 Amp GFCI Protection: Full ground fault circuit interrupter protection designed for kitchens and bathrooms, helping reduce shock risk in high-risk areas.
• Self-Test and LED Indicator: Automatic self-tests every 40 seconds with a green LED for normal operation and red for faults give continuous status feedback.
• Tamper-Resistant and ETL Listed: Tamper-resistant shutters protect children and ETL listing provides third-party verification of safety and durability.

Who It's For

This outlet is ideal for homeowners renovating kitchens, updating bathroom outlets, or anyone who wants to replace a standard receptacle with a combo GFCI and USB outlet to reduce clutter from chargers. It works well where device charging and water exposure are both concerns.

Those who should look elsewhere include buyers who need more than two USB ports, want an integrated surge protector, or prefer an outlet with a different aesthetic finish than the supplied screwless black wall plate. Professional installation is recommended if you are not comfortable with electrical work.
