Loads of pictures of melted wifi plugs on all the reviews of them, which is why I never went with one for the mining rigs, not worth the risk of running anything high draw on it.
any of the specific one from the thread though ? tp-link/ikea/sonoff/mermoss ?

Can't remember which brands they were, I seem to recall Belkin was one of them, people were running stuff well below the maximum rating and still burning them out.

Sorry this is a thread resurrection, but I think this thread is relevant rather than creating a new one.
I've bought a Meross MSS310 power meter.
I have an oil heater that I plugged into it, i out it in maximum and the plus turned itself off, turns out the heater was taking 3500w, so it's good the plug has a cut off makes it feel safer.
Weird thing is the heater is rated at 2400W, so why would it be taking 3500 or will the plug be reading it wrong ?
