Let me start by saying this Leviton Smart GFCI outlet has been a game-changer for my home's safety setup. The bright LED indicator gives instant visual confirmation that it's working, and the tamper-resistant design is perfect for households with curious kids.

Installation was surprisingly straightforward - even with my basic electrical knowledge. The clear labeling of 'Line' and 'Load' terminals made wiring simple, though I'll admit the unit is bulkier than standard outlets. Pro tip: take your time organizing the wires in the box to avoid a tight squeeze.

The smart features really shine. Getting instant notifications on my phone when the outlet trips gives me peace of mind, especially for my basement freezer. I once got an alert while on vacation - turned out to be a brief power flicker, but knowing immediately was priceless.

Two minor drawbacks: First, it doesn't come with a faceplate (annoying at this price point). Second, the reset button requires a firm press and hold to engage - not intuitive at first. But these are small tradeoffs for such reliable protection.

After six months of use with zero nuisance trips (even running power tools), I'm completely sold. It's particularly great for remote locations like vacation homes where you can't regularly check outlets visually.
