clamping force is noticeably better even with the Lowes 20 amp, and it's important when your wife vacuums every single morning out of the same outlet.The standard 15 amp ones lose their weak clamping force to begin with and the plug literally falls out of the socket. I also have an extension outlet where one single outlet melted because the air cleaner plugged into it was falling out. Saying the connection was 'loose' doesn't tell the story. The resistance inside the outlet and plug built up heat over time and...that's what you get when most everything today is cheap crap from China.
In 15 years I've replaced that same 15 amp socket she uses to vacuum 3 times with the one's they sell at Lowes. Where my stereo rig is I put in 20 amp sockets EVERYWHERE and have never had a single problem. I soldered them ALL in place after telling the electrician to run 20 amp wire from the breaker box.Hospital grade is overused now but it has real history. My Uncle was a Doc and Surgeon in WW2 and he told me all about it since then. That's why I posted an FYI. Experience is a good teacher
