GFCI Outlet with USB Ports and Nightlight - Compact 20A Self-Test

In this review the GFCI Outlet with USB Ports and Nightlight is evaluated for homeowners and renters who need a safe, space-saving replacement for standard bathroom or kitchen outlets. The single biggest reason to buy is the combination of GFCI protection, dual USB charging and an automatic night light in a compact form that fits standard electrical boxes, making it a practical upgrade where safety and convenience matter most.

Key Features

• GFCI Protection: Provides ground-fault circuit interruption and a patented dual-coil self-test every 5 seconds to help ensure ongoing shock protection.
• Dual USB Charging: Two integrated USB ports deliver a combined 24W so phones and tablets can be charged without occupying the single AC receptacle.
• Built-in Nightlight: The night light automatically turns on in the dark and off in daylight, helping with nighttime navigation without a plug-in light.
• Compact Design: Designed to fit standard electrical boxes so there is no need for a deeper box, easing replacement of existing outlets.
• Durability: Exceeds UL endurance requirements with over 6,000 cycles and includes advanced electronics for improved surge resistance.
• Safety End-of-Life: Reset-Disable System prevents resetting when the device reaches end of life, reducing the risk of relying on a compromised outlet.

Who It's For

This outlet suits homeowners, landlords and renovators who need a GFCI-protected receptacle with integrated USB charging for kitchens, bathrooms and other areas near water, or for tight spaces where a plug-in charger would block the single AC socket. It is also useful in hallways, nurseries and stairways where the automatic night light adds convenience and safety.

Those who want high-capacity USB charging for multiple heavy-draw devices simultaneously or who require a second AC receptacle in addition to the USB ports may want to consider other solutions, since this unit provides one AC outlet plus two USB ports and a combined 24W of USB power.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact footprint fits standard electrical boxes, simplifying installation and saving wiring space.
• Combined GFCI and USB functionality reduces clutter and frees the AC socket for other uses.
• Automatic night light adds low-level illumination without using the outlet for a plug-in light.
• Self-test every 5 seconds and a reset-disable safety feature increase long-term reliability.

Cons

• The USB output is limited to a total of 24W, so charging speed may be modest for multiple high-power devices.
• Some users report mixed impressions of the night light brightness, which may not suit every preference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this replace a standard GFCI in a bathroom?
Yes, it is designed to fit standard electrical boxes and provides the same GFCI protection while adding USB ports and a night light.

How much USB power is available?
The two USB ports share a combined output of 24W, suitable for phones and tablets but limited for simultaneous fast charging of multiple high-power devices.

Does the night light stay on all the time?
The night light is automatic and turns on in low light and off in daylight, so it should not remain on continuously under normal lighting conditions.
