Herm said:The complaint about the SPX units (both the wall mounted and Voltec units) is that their construction is a bit flimsy, for example the Voltec only uses #14 AWG wire..
This is true - the wire is pretty thin for 15A. However, it is up to code (bare minimum). I guess this is a case of "what do you think of a person who only does the bare minimum...". If #14 AWG was not enough for 15A, then the minimum should be #12, or larger. As for the construction, the plastic enclosure is plenty rugged for installation inside a garage. It's rated for outside use as well, but I may question that....
