Maybe this unit or this unit would arrive just a little bit faster (prime vs china)? Second one is even UL rated.
Just follow /u/jjcarrol 's advice and be careful. Do not leave the unit unattended while plugged in like this. You have no guarantee its only going to pull 2 Amps, and if anything goes amiss, your insurance company will politely but firmly decline to cover you. A KillAWatt-style meter would be advisable.
Nope, that's pretty much exactly what I would've done if I'd been any more confident in my "electrician skills" ... instead I bought and put this adapter on the plug instead.
It seems to be working just fine and not tripping any circuits (yet), so there's that. I'm honestly more worried about the electricity code aspect of it.
