Aicevoos D2S Receptacle GFCI Socket Outlet Tester with LCD Display, for Standard 3-Wire 120V Electrical Outlets Tester

This tester is quick and easy to use. It will alert you to wiring issues and/or inconsistencies. There are other devices that perform a similar function with the use of LED lights, but that this one has both LED lights and an LCD screen is what sets it apart from the others. Additionally having a GFCI trip button to ensure your GFCI outlets are wired properly is handy, most, but not all testers have that feature. What I like: 1. I found the easy to read LCD screen useful. 2. The GFCI trip button is a nice feature. Drawbacks: 1. It is larger than a typical tester that has no LCD screen, but for me thats not a deal breaker. Bottom line: Unless I need to test in a really tight spot, this is my new go-to tester!

This tester has a nice solid feel to it. A little bit on the bulky side but still fits on most outlets without too much getting in the way. Unlike others Ive seen, this one is does not require batteries and powers up using the outlet its testing. With that said, there are no fancy functions. It simply displays 1 of 6 preset messages describing how your outlet is wired or what wire is missing, along with measured voltage and frequency. The RCD button is for testing GFI outlets tripping function. Other than that it does nothing.

Surprised at the nice appearance of this for the low price. Very pleased with purchase!

I have a similar device that just has colored lights and costs less, but this is easier to read. It also will test for GFI working correctly. I talso shows you the current and frequency. If it trips when you plug it in for GFI, that is the purpose, to test it. If it does NOT trip when you are testing it then you are not protected.

This unit works so well and simply that even those of us who lack any understanding of electrical circuits can troubleshoot an outlet. Plug it in and watch it work. It is sophisticated enough to diagnose that my smart outlet expander is lacking a ground, despite it having a ground lug. I used it immediately to determine that my wife had turned off a light switch to a series of outdoor outlets, despite her protestations to the contrary. It was very nice to have an expert on my side.

My Dads older home still has some 2-prong (non-grounded) receptacles. I wanted to test them because grandfathered into old building codes or not, I dont think theyre safe. So when I saw the Aicevoos D2S Receptacle Tester I jumped on it. Of course, I failed to read the entire product title or I wouldve seen that its for 3-wire 120V outlets. DUH! So that was my bad... The good news is I can still test all the 3-wire outlets in his home and every outlet in my home too. I like the simplicity of it. Plug it in, let it do its thing, and then get a result on an LCD screen. Much easier than having to look through a reference chart to see what it means when certain LEDs are lit up in a certain order. Personally, I think everyone should go through their home or apartment and test all the outlets for safety and peace of mind. You probably werent there looking over the electricians shoulder during construction. But at least you can get your kids (if old enough) to go around and plug this device into every outlet you have. And if any of them display anything other than CORRECT, youll certainly find out about it in record time! (ha-ha)

This Receptacle Tester is literally IDIOT PROOF... All you have to do is just plug it in and within seconds you get an accurate digital readout. Its great for DIYers as well as the Professionals. I highly recommend this product for everyone.

I have plenty of experience with electrical systems and own many different types of testers like this. What sets this one apart is that is provides plain-language messages about problems. This is ideal for the average homeowner who may have no knowledge of wiring. It tells you exactly what the problem is, in words, making it easy to fix the problem. It works very well, and I would recommend it.
