WR with a switch
5 stars because I quite literally can't find anyone else that makes one of these.

Itβs huge but it works
I had to literally use a hammer and wooden chisel to get this outlet/switch into the box and it still sticks out enough for my wife to mention it. Wish it was smaller, but it does work the way intended

Works, but seems more difficult to install than necessary
I got this to replace an existing GFCI with switch. These are a bit bulky to start (all GFCIs, not just this one), so it's usually a little difficult to stuff everything back into the box. This was no exception, but that's not what I'm going to complain about. It's ETL listed, which seems to be equivalent to UL listing.Usually, an outlet has simple screws on the side. This one has those, but it also has what's intended to be a simpler connection that I didn't see in the instructions (it's there, just not obvious). It's also on the side of the box, but didn't see that either. As an alternative to the usualy way, you can push the wire end into a hole under the screws and tighten down the screws. This is not the kind where you push a wire in the back and it grabs; this is just a different way for the screws to clamp down on the wire. I tried the regular way and it was very irritating. The screws do not back out far enough to allow you to wrap the wire around the screw. Because of the other mechanism, you have to turn it upside down to get the screw to extend enough to wrap the wire. I wrestled with them for far too long, but I got it installed, tested, and working. I'm not going to tear it back apart to try the simplified method right now.This unit has LEDs that tell you if it's tripped, but both of the SET/RESET buttons are white, so it's not easy to see which is which.I gave it a 3-star rating because of the difficulty of conventional installation, the lack of coloring on the Test / Reset buttons, and there's no improvement in the overall volume of the switch to make it easier to fit into the box.

Good GFCI outlet/switch, but very large.
This seems to be a good outlet/switch overall. I dislike that this outlet/switch has a combination of screw connections and wire lead connections. Make up your mind and do one or the other. I much prefer to have the connection screws instead of wire leads. The connection is much more secure when you attach wires with screw contacts, then wrap the outlet with electrical tape. I'm also concerned that this is ETL listed instead of UL listed, and that the outlet is quite large. ETL is supposed to be as good as UL, but I'm not sure I buy that. This is big, so if you don't have a large/deep box, you will have problems stuffing this into a smaller box. If it is an older house with metal boxes, there is a high chance you will short them out touching the sides. If you don't share my concerns outlined above, these should be a good choice. However, if you do share my concerns, there are better options out there.
