Is anyone familiar with this portable EVSE?

For $449 it's not a bad looking 20a(all they say is "nearly 5kw") Level 2 EVSE, 18' cord and looks to be as portable as our OEM 120v EVSE.
I like the idea it can go to 20a whereas most other portable EVSEs max out at 16a 240v. I've asked the question on Amazon if it will work on both 120v as well as 240v but as of yet no one has answered and from my experience many people on Amazon don't really experiment, if it only says 240v, well thats gospel. I find it hard to believe it would be only 240v but I suppose it could be.
I still think upgrading your factory EVSE via iEngineer seems to be the way to go for maximum flexibility, 120v-240v and adjustable output amperage, sometimes as high as 20a 240a but this little charger(if it also does 120v at a lower or adjustable amperage) would be a nice option.
Leviton is a respected name, too bad it has a rather orphan(for most EV users) NEMA 6-30p but I suppose you could easily enough cut it off and add your own plug or make a plug converter to a more standard L14-30p or even L6-30p.
Looks like all but 1 review was given the EVSE free to the people reviewing it and the #1 review didn't even hook his up, he didn't want to mess with the odd plug and said he already had a level 2 EVSE :?
