Does what it claims, simple, zero issues.
Bought 6 months ago, assumed at the time I'd eventually get a higher amperage L2 for the house and keep this as backup/road trips.Been using this exclusively on 120V outlet. Provides me w/ around 1.75KW of power.With typical use (driving to work and back (~50-60 mile round trip).. day out shopping, etc) it either keeps up with overnight charging, or it doesn't fall so far behind that I can't catch up on the weekend.I'm just about to finally install a NEMA 6-20R outlet to do 240V charging with this because there's been a couple of times when we've gotten back from a road trip on Sunday evening with only ~10-20% battery left.. and this charger requires around 26 hours to charge my Kia EV6 back up from 20%-80% on 120V.I usually charge in the garage but it's been unavailable due to some work-tables being setup recently. Had this out in the driveway through some serious rains and it is waterproof.5-stars because it does exactly what it claims, it's flexible (120V or 240V charging), it's inexpensive, it's dead-simple (just works), and I've had absolutely zero issues with it for half a year now.Sure, it doesn't connect to WIFI and require yet another app on my phone.. but my Car gives me all that functionality already.K.I.S.S.EDIT (jan 2024): FINALLY got around to installing a split-phase 240V outlet for this.. mostly because the recent below-zero weather was running my battery down more than usual. This charger worked at L2 power without a problem. Now charing at around 3.75KW.. about 5% of my EV6 battery capacity every hour.I've been tempted to purchase & install a higher current L2 charger, but It's hard to justify the additional cost when this will now recharge about 50% of my car's battery capacity overnight. There hasn't been a single time over the past ~2 years when I've needed to charge faster at home.

Works great
Thus unit is good if you have limited power available. I had access to an existing 20a circuit in my garage. Was more cost effective than wiring a new higher amp circuit. Not as fast as a higher capacity interface, but works for me. Has never faulted when charging my Mach-E extended range. Has caused our C-Max to charge-fault, but we normally charge that on a level 1 charger. Solid unit for the money.

Game Changer
This was a great purchase at a great value. I have been using it for several months now, charging two different cars with it (two Chevy Volts - not at the same time, that would be crazy!). Charges rapidly, as much as the Volt can take on 220v and they are both charged from empty to full in only about 3.5 hours.I have it mounted to my house, and it hangs under one of those cheap metal garden hose hangers, so that the 25ft long charging cable has a dedicated spot to be stored. my only gripe is that it comes with a straight plug, not an angled one. It creates a little more stress on the cable that connects the charger to the 220v outlet, since it has to do a 180 degree bend to exit through the wall. Would rather have had a 90 degree plug to make that transition a little cleaner.

Wish the plug was a right angle 14-50P
The purpose of this charger is to be able to charge anywhere. It does that. But I really wish two things were different and those two things are worth deducting a star.First, the plug should be a right angle plug. The voltage converter box is a weight in the cord just a few feet from the wall. If it was a right angle plug, it wouldn't pull the cord out of the socket, but since it's a straight plug, it does pull the cord out of the socket. A right angle plug would fix that.Second, the 6-20 outlet is rare. So rare that I'll bet you probably don't have one in your house. Until you pay to install a 6-20 outlet, you're using this in a typical 110V (5-15) outlet. But if you're going to pay to install a 6-20 outlet, why not install a 14-50 outlet? That's the outlet you really want for an EV charger. This charger will only draw 16A from the bigger outlet but it will work fine. This charger's special trick, of working on 110V or 220V will still make it useful.I'd buy it again, but if I was in the room when the discussion around plugs was happening, I'd do my darndest to convince the rest of the team to go with a 14-50P right angle plug.

Great EV Charger after a year+ of use
Purchased 8/22/2021 for $182.33 new before taxToday is 10/17/2022. I've been using this charger every day since I got it. I rent a garage in my apartment complex where I keep this plugged in with my J1772 adapter for my '14 Tesla Model S. I find this works perfect for my needs. It charges my car at about 2kWh on 15amp/116volts.On 10/7/2022 the Nema 6-20R adapter cable got really hot and overheated. No longer would it charge my car. I ordered another 5-15 to 6-20 adapter cable and it's been charging fine for the past week or so on it. No complaints on this mobile EV charging system.

Old faithful...tried and true!
The best bang, no frills, reliable for the buck "dumb" EVSE out there. It goes by many names and is sold under many under rebrands, but gets the job done as a Level 1 and Level 2 EVSE. I bought this to use until I got my 14-50 outlet installed and picked out a more } powerful 40A EVSE. Once I got the 14-50 installed, I bought a 14-50 adapter, plugged it in, and charged for a few months until I settled on an AmpRoad EVSE.Got this below $200 so if you can, wait it out...

Almost burned down garage
This charger is great, if you’d like to set your house/garage on fire and potentially injure everyone living above your garage.I’ve had this charger for about two weeks and last night the charger started smoking and burning the outlet and wall while using the 110v adapter that comes with the unit.Luckily, I have a camera set up above the outlet and the smoke triggered the motion sensor. I was able to disengage the unit before a major fire started. My garage sits below a portion of another family’s condo, and there could have been disastrous consequences had it remained plugged in.
