The Wemo is a work in progress, but I think most of the negative reviews have or can be addressed with firmware updates. The one I bought off the shelf needed to be updated before I had the count down timer functionality I was after. Having an internet connected device does have advantages including the ability to easily upgrade. I believe I checked the ratings before I bought it and found it rated at 15 amps. I don't remember specifically where I found that, but I would not have bought it otherwise. damon
