Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)Bought two of these to use in an aquarium. What I didn't realize is that, if the input power is interrupted, they trip off and have to be manually reset. This was bad for my application, as I had them plugged between the UPS and my aquarium equipment. When the mains power went off, the UPS switched to battery, but while it was switching, both GFCIs tripped, and wouldn't come back on until they were manually reset. So, if I was at work and the power went out, the UPS would switch, the GFCIs would trip, and no power to the aquarium for the rest of the day until I got home to do manual reset.
In summary, make sure the GFCI you buy behaves as you expect. If you need one that comes back on automatically after a power-out, this isn't it.
