Default 15 amps or 20 amps

"Everyone" did not say that. And you can not know that without knowing WHY
it was said. You're guessing and jumping to conclusions as are others.


That said, I wouldn't use $0.89 devices. They are likely to wear out
faster and be less dependable. Spend a couple bucks on it and do it
right the first time. Unless of course you like doing it all again
next year.
