Koden,

I am using one, but I can't tell you how well they work. I did have an incident where I had a surge supressor plugged into one of these things. I accidently spilled water on it, and the GFCI tripped. The only problem was it was the GFCI upstream (Leviton wall outlet type) that tripped and not the ShockBuster. So it appears that the Leviton may have a faster response time thatn the Shockbuster. This only happened once, so I can't say the result would be consistant.
