Lectron Level 1 EV Charger Good Product and Purchase
I liked that it was near $100 on sale, and that it only pulls 11.6 amps on the circuit when in use (I measured it to be sure it didn't exceed my outlet rating). So far it has worked flawlessly and I am using it on a 20 amp 120v circuit that only powers the outside outlets on my home and one outlet in the garage. I noticed on my home even though my panel had a 20 amp breaker for that circuit and used 12 ga wire on it the outlets were only 15 amp outlets, so I did have my recepticles replaced with a 20 amp recepticles (almost looks the same) to be sure I did not overload it. However after monitoring its output on numerous occassions I realized it never exceeded 11.6 amps which is within a 15 amps circuit ability to provide safe usage (from my understanding you should not exceed 80% of your circuits capacity, so 11.6 amps / 15 amp circuit = .77, then multiply by 100 and you get it runs at 77% capacity). I mention this because if you are plugging it in to a 15 amp circuit, you need to be sure you don't have other devices using that outlet that use much power, because if you do you will overload it surpassing the 80% rule. For those who don't understand electrical, its a good charger, just be sure other accessories are not plugged into the same circuit when you charge your car if using a 15 amp circuit in my opinion, otherwise you might melt your recepticle. Great charger, good price and I am using it outdoors in front of the house, so I decided to buy an outdoor water proof outlet cover which is lockable, so I could plug in the charger and lock the cover so nobody can just walk up and unplug it and walk off with it. The outlet cover was bought on amazon as well as the lockable J1772 fixture/cable holder. That way when I leave for work and I am not using it, others can't walk off with the charger or plug in their vehicle to it (just in case another was thinking of utilizing my charger - very unlikely I know, but people do odd things these years). In case anyone else is trying to set theirs up in front of the house as well so you can keep your vehicle charged overnight here are the cover and fixture/cable holder descriptions I used to set this up: J1772 EV Charger Nozzle Holster Dock, with Anti-Theft Password Lock, and TayMac MX3300 RaynGuard Extra Duty Metal Weatherproof in-Use Cover, 1-Gang, Gray. Hopefully others will find this useful, both the holder and fixture cover are very easy to install and everything was up and running in about 30 minutes or so.

Solid unit for charging plug-in-hybrids.
Seems to be a reliable solidly built Level 1 Charger. I purchased it as a replacement for the charger that came with my Toyota Prius Prime, allowing me to keep the smaller, slightly less powerful OEM charger with the car. This unit is mounted to my wall. I have just started using it, but it is solidly built, works well and remains cool throughout charging. Note that it is only a Level 1 charger with a 15 amp limit, so probably not suitable except for plug-in hybrids. In that role it seems very good. It comes with a well made carrying case. The cable from charger to car is quite thick and heavy making it better for fixed use than for portable use, however, thicker cables are more efficient, more sturdy and less prone to getting hot, so overall a plus.

works very well, cord is long enough to hang from outlet on ceiling.
This charges works extremely well. My EV is charging much faster than expected, so I do not need to install a level 2!I highly recommend it. I am saving so much money.

Works fine for a Chrysler Pacifica, but needs to be replugged after every charge.
I've used this charger for a Chrysler Pacifica. At 15 amps, it charges is less time (11 hours) than the OEM product (14 hours). It has a convenient hook for hanging on the wall. However, I found I had to replug it into the wall after every charge, otherwise it throws an error.

Works and no slower or faster than other 110V EV chargers
If you're not in a hurry to charge then a basic standard outlet charger is fine. Works on my kia nitro ev without issues.

Great quality
You know that feeling when you hold something and it just feels like it’s worth the price? This is it. My only complaint is that the cable is only 16 feet long, but the build quality is amazing. Everything about this charger feels sturdy and well-made. I’ve tried others on Amazon, but nothing feels as premium.

Charging my EV. Ion 5
The unit was shipped and delivered on time. Unfortunately, my first unit had a slight defect, but did function. I reported to the company they wrote back immediately, kept me in constant information flowAlena was amazing. They replace the unit without issue and it is working wonderfully and I highly recommend this product.

Own 2 slow chargers and you’ll be good.
I wish there was a reset button on this model. I learned through trial and error with this and others that every few weeks, these chargers in general just stop working. You can switch to a backup charger, and set the one that stops working to the side. Then a few weeks later, the backup stops working, so you pull the other one that stopped working out and it works again. It’s like the EV rejects it and nothing resets them until you plug it in to any other charger. So, I’ve decided to just keep 2. No headaches.
