By code, all bathroom outlets must be GFCI protected. The best GFCI outlets combine safety, durability, and style. Look for tamper-resistant (TR) outlets with self-test features and indicator lights.

Bathrooms are wet environments, increasing the risk of electrical shock. A GFCI outlet in the bathroom will shut off power if it detects current leaking to ground. Modern GFCIs feature moisture-resistant designs and test/reset buttons.

Top GFCI bathroom outlets include:
- Leviton Smartlock Pro: UL-listed, self-test, LED indicator, available in multiple colors.
- Eaton SafTgard: Compact, TR shutters, clear reset buttons.
- Legrand Radiant: Stylish Decora design, self-test, available in stainless and color options.

Install these outlets at sink height and at least one meter from the tub or shower. Use gasketed covers for extra protection. Select outlets that match your decor while meeting all safety requirements
