I've been using my Grizzl-E classic for a couple months now, and I have no complainants about the quality or performance. It was one of the least expensive options at around $400 for a refurbished unit.
I thought that I didn't need one of the smart units. My rationale was that my electric rates are constant, and I don't need to schedule charging.
However, I'm now finding that I really want to know how much of my electric bill goes to charging the Jeep, and I can't easily determine this now. I'm disappointed that the multiple Jeep apps don't show this from the load side of the cord. I now realize that having current monitoring on the supply side actually is necessary and useful, especially since most smart charger apps will do the calculation for you based on your electric rates.
So if you can, I say spend a little more for a charger with a good app that gives you useful data, even if you don't need off-peak scheduling.
