Product comparison/review
I tried to search around but does not seem to find any place that talk about this. Hope this is the appropriate forum.
Being tech/net savvy, I often do a search (google) on just about anything that I want to buy. So as I'm looking into some electrical plugs and receptacles, I came across various manufacturer names with price range so far apar. I found Hubbell, Pass&Seymore, Leviton, Cooper, Marinco, Wattgate, etc. And of course within each manufacture, there's ranges of grades, like Commercial Grade, Industrial Grade, Hospital Grades, etc.
So to those who have been in this business for long time, how does these product compare? How does a 170.00 Audio grade Wattgate receptacle compare to the 70.00 Hospital Grade Hubbel? Or a 1.00 Leviton from Home Depot for that matter. What is the characteristics of these components that makes them commanding such premium? Is it the material that is use to provide better current? But wouldn't that be in the wire not so much of plug/receptacle?
So the final question is... what is a good price/value point? Stay aways from XXX & YYY?
