Alright so I bought this today at harbor freight but the instructions say 20 AMP only outlets, ALL my house has is 15amp, - garbage disposal outlet...

i use mine on a daily basis on a 15 amp breaker and its alright .. but if u run it at the max setting for to long the breaker is gonna be popping every 5 min (hot welds )

It comes with they typical cord and 3-pronged plug. I am not at the house where I installed it to see if direct wiring via Romex and a cable clamp is practical, but why not just terminate your present wiring to a "handy box" under your sink that has a duplex outlet installed in it, and just plug this (or any other) garbage disposal into the outlet? Most disposals are equipped w/ a normal appliance cord, and this one is so reasonably priced, you could easily afford the $4 for the box, outlet, and box cover with the savings.

I'm not sure if I understand your question. I use it in a standard 110 watt wall socket that is on a 20amp breaker

I have ordered the 30 amp cord.....It is my understanding that all the cords (15 and 20 amp) would work.....What determines which one you need is the amperage size breaker you are connecting to.......

yes with a 20 amp plug of course...... 20 amp outlets are not standard for residential so I'd make sure you know what you have and what you are buying....

I have one of mine installed in a regular 110 outlet with both a refrigerator and coffee pot attached. I think it will handle 20 Amps.

I took out my 30 amp plug and replaced it with this 15 amp. My set up is a 6x12 box trailer. "Not a RV" I hook my Honda 2000 generator to it all the time. Only power is a microwave and a coffee pot. Maybe the occasional PowerTool or light. I mostly did this so I wouldn't have to have an adapter. The trailer originally came with a 30 amp locking plug.

The open circuit/no-load voltage for this panel is about 22 volts. The voltage falls quickly when any load is applied, suggesting fair amount of internal resistance. I bought the Harbor Freight 45 watt, 3-panel kit a year ago to experiment with, and each of its panels also put out 22 volts with no load. Its behavior under load was similar. The Renogy has better reviews, and you get more output for the amount of surface area. Good luck.

15amp for 14guage wire and 20amp for 12guage wire. No set standard for new houses, although I'd want 20amp on every outlet if it didn't cost too much extra.

On the back of the unit, it says "Use 120V 10A outlet only." So, I'm assuming the "10A" means 10 amps.

Robert, As a person who gave a review on the Tripp Lite HT10DBS Home Theater Isobar Surge Protector I could not agree more with your request for a 20 AMP version. My 2 15 AMP units are working perfectly but I have a need for a third 20 AMP unit.

The manufacturer's data says that this unit draws 13 amps at 120 volts. A dedicated circuit would be nice to have, but any 20 amp circuit that is not already running a large load (refrigerator, toaster, coffee maker etc:) should be fine.

A 20 amp plug will work on 14awg and a 15amp breaker but will be a code violation. It also will not output 20 amps. To be compliant it would need 12awg and a 20amp breaker.

I purchased it for use with a refrigerator ................have no idea of the amps used but doubt it is near 20

20 amps would trip most circuit breakers. Most standard household outlets are only rated for 15 amps.

The rateing of 15amps refers to the appliance being rated not the outlet rating. If what you want to measure is rated at 1800 watts or less it will measure the useage. Look on the appliance if it says 1800 watts or less, or, if it is rated at 15amps or less it will work. Hope this helps

Is should work on your household plug but it might trip several times you might just want to change your 15 amp receptical and breaker to a 20 amp receptical even better you could go with a 30amp receptical and breaker. If you plan to use it occasionally I think with a 20 amp should be fine you don't have to replace the wire on your house but if you going to go with a 30amp receptical you probably have to replace the wire in your house.
