No idea what your "premium" product meant.

Pick up one of the +/-$1 receptacles. Plastic, no metal on the
back, very light weight

Pick up one of the +/- $15 receptacles. Nylon, full metal back,
heavy screw plates.

The industry buzz words are things like residential, commercial,
industrial, spec grade, hospital grade.

The cost changes, the quality changes. They are probably all UL
approved, they will all work, the better grades last longer and
survive plug in and outs better.

Was looking for a new GFI outlet for the bathroom. Went to the
local
big box hardware store. Saw a GFI brand selling for about $7.
Saw
another brand, costing about $12 that said it was a "premium"
GFI.
Obviously nobody is going to risk their life for a difference of
$5.
So what does "premium" mean: Do they give you less false
trippings? Do
they trip faster? Are the internal components in so way more
heavyduty? Bottomline - do "premium" GFIs keep you safer?
