I believe that they are not recommended for use wherever medical
equipment may be installed, if that is a concern.


As well as refrigerators and freezers, where an unexpected trip while
you're out can have expensive (and smelly) consequences.

If you like the look of the GFCI devices, check out the "Decora" line
of wiring devices; they look pretty much like a GFCI without the
buttons.

The Lowe's here has a lot of Decora style receptacles and switches.
They're as easy to find as the conventional style ones.
