Worked as intended, I've been using it 5 nights a week
The charger is very simple to use, the AMP setting and delay setting is very easy to use. It has a nice display that shows what the changer is doing, other chargers I saw a t a higher price didn't include the display. I haven't used the case or the mounting kits. The case looks nice, I haven't used it because I just store it in my garage when it's not being used. The mounting kit is easy to install and use, I used it for 2 months while I was parking in my garage. It charges my Ford Fusion from empty to full in 6 hours over night at the 12 amps setting and has always been ready to go in the morning. I use the delayed start to get the lower price rate after 9:00pm,it's just a few taps on the sensor to adjust the time delay after plugging into my car. I have used this charger every night since I purchased it, about 5 months ago. It still works great with no problems. My charger came with a travel case that I used 1 time to see how it fits, if you have a use for it, I'm sure it would last, it seems durable and keeps it stored nicely and compact. Thumbs up if you're needing a level 1 charger. I recommend this product.

Short term usage is great for me
Closely checked a few similar products currently sold on Amazon, this appears to be the best priced on the day I buy, so I ordered it and it arrived very quick and in great shipment.Plug and play, fast at 15A (16A) on 120v L1 stage , quicker charging than my OE 9-10A L1 charger.Easy to see huge status LED display. and smaller OLED info screen is also a plus.The RF tags ( one for timer and one for Amperage) are handy to adjust, I guess the reason for that instead of a button is more for better weather water proof or incidental touching during process.Couldn't be happier, but I only have it for more than a week, long term evaluation will be more helpful see if it's a reliable product. I haven't have 220v tested yet. ,

Price is right and charges way faster than my 110v unit
I'm using this with a 2017 Chevy Volt so your milage may vary. Setup was super easy, just needed to run a 240v recepticle with a Nema 6-20. After powering it on, it was ready to go immediately. I initially had some trouble getting the charge connector to latch on the car, but I think it will become easier with time and some wear. My only other complaint is that the kW counter is rolling and resets if the unit loses power, so it's not good for keeping track of total use, but it seems to work great for tracking usage on the day to day.Definitely would upgrade to a 30 or 40A version of this for a full electric, but this one suits my needs very well and at 8A, I can go from empty to full in roughly 8 hours

Works Great - Like More Than the Original
My original car charger crapped out when it got wet even though it was supposed to be rain proof (thanks Chevy). This charger is really good. I like it has lights to indicate what phase of charging it is in (Solid green for ready to charge, rainbow for charging, flashing green for fully charged). Sometimes it can be squirrelly when first plugging it in, but this is rarified. Cord to car also seems very thick and durable and the cord coming from the outlet to the console seems to be well-insulated, not too warm to the touch.

Excellent. Mine runs 16A consistently on a 110v 15A circuit.
Excellent. Mine runs 16A consistently on a 110v 15A circuit. (nothing else drawing current on that circuit). Great to carry as an emergency charger as it will do both 110v and 220V, and it can be set to reduced currents for any circuit that can't handle full rate. At 110v, it runs about 60% faster than the 10A cord that came with the car.One small note: The 110 to 220 adapter cable provided is 14 gauge. I noticed it gets pretty warm to hot at 16A. I purchased a 12 Gauge 1 foot cable of the same type to use with this charger, and no more hot cable.Amazon: Nema 5-15P to 6-20R Heavy Duty Electric Cable Plug Adapter (12 Gauge)

Great charger
I had the prior version which ended up getting borked in rain. This model reportedly improves waterproofing, so we'll see. This one also has a display, and it's gratifying and a really nice feature. I'm only using this level 1 if that matters.
