Big value!
This package of GFCI is water resistant and for the price you can’t beat it. I haven’t had them install long but they seem to be well made and time will tell how long they last. Used this brand in pasted and didn’t have any issues.

Excellent price point
I bought 3 of these for what 1 costs at Lowe's cost. I really liked the thinner design. They work well.

Gfi
Arrived on time and good value for money I fitted today without any issues replacing a faulty gfi.I would buy again This slimmer unit is user friendly in the tight boxes.

Good value, but not without some issues. Wire fell out of backwire and buttons might be balky.
I got two boxes (12 each) of the white 15A tamper and weather resistant version. Price was really good (but can vary) but it's a bargain when they come with nylon wallplates and little side shields to prevent side terminal contact/arcing with metal boxes. At least with a box of 12, each one was in its own little unmarked white box with the wallplate, two side shields, and six greenish-blue "GFCI PROTECTED OUTLET" stickers. It didn't come with any "NO EQUIPMENT GROUND" stickers, and no stickers in other languages (like French and/or Spanish like I've seen with other brands). There was only one fold-out sheet of instructions for a box of a dozen.These are pretty compact, although with the little side shields on it might not fit well into narrow boxes, and without them there's a chance of the side terminals touching the side of a narrower metal box or possibly being close enough to arc. However, they work fine, although I don't know how well they work long term. However, I have a few issues with the tamper resistant feature and the reset button. I bought two dozen and there are a few where the reset button is balky. Most reset easily, a few require a harder press, and one has issues where it may require several attempts before it actually resets. Then there are some where the tamper resistance means a plug may require a few attempts before it will go in, and may need some wiggling. I will say that some of those got easier to insert a plug with more use, but still don't go in easily.I would recommend using the screw terminals. I tried using the backwiring, checked it a few days later, and a 14 AWG wire fell out. I'm not opposed to backwiring in general, but the pressure plate seems to be really thin and soft, where it noticeably bends. I've seen other GFCI outlets that have backwiring, and those seemed generally more secure with thicker pressure plates that don't noticeably bend.I also tried up looking the ETL/Intertek listing for this and couldn't find anything. Amico's website only lists lighting products, and I found those listed on Intertek's database. Granted, Intertek says to contact them for inquiries if a particular product doesn't show up on their website's database.Also - some were commenting about the "manufacturer". I don't believe Amico is doing anything more than a marketing/reselling another company's design, and their name isn't even on the receptacles. I tracked down the manufacturer, which is a Chinese company called Lumex Systems.

7 were defective out of 12
7 were defective when installed. Waste of time and energy. I debated returning have r but had already installed others when I had the 7 defective ones. I have little confidence in theseMultiple reasons of failure:Some refused to trip when testedSome stayed tripped and would not work4 when plugged jn rattled badly and when plug pulled out and tried to reinsert would not allow any plug to be plugged in

Good value, seems well made
At about half the cost of the options at our local home center, I didn't have high expectations for it. But after installing it in an older part of the house previously fitted with only ungrounded (2-prong) outlets, I have to say I'm happy with how it turned out. Installing it in the position nearest the supply panel, now all downstream outlets in the room are protected, allowing me to install inexpensive 3-prong outlets without the trouble and expense of pulling new wiring.

Fits perfect
Very good quality. Works as designed

Decent but Inconsistent Quality
These GFCI receptacles work as expected about 95% of the time, which is decent for the price. However, around 5% of them arrived dead on arrival—some won’t trip properly, and a few don’t work at all. While they are significantly cheaper than name-brand options, the inconsistency in quality is noticeable. If you're on a budget and willing to accept the occasional dud, these could still be worth it. Just be prepared for some potential issues.
