I did test it with 240 vac at the 10 amp (green) setting and saw a 2240 watts or 2.2 kW supplied and with the 16 amp (blue) setting it supplied 3600 watts or 3.6 kW. Trying the unit, with a standard 120 vac outlet adapter, set to 10 amps (green) It supplied 1100 watts or 1.1 kW and set to 16 amps or blue it supplied 1700 watts or 1.7 kW.
Unless you have a heavy duty 20 amp 120 vac outlet you should stick to the default 10 amp setting as 16 amps will overload a standard 15 amp breaker on 120 volts.
Another thing to keep in mind is that if the unit is power cycled (unplugged and plugged in again) or you temporarily lose power the unit defaults to the 10 amp setting, which makes sense safety wise and would need to be set to 16 amps before using if desired. I don't see a way to keep it defaulted to the 16 amp setting.
This will be a great evse to use at our in laws to charge up our Leaf, I added a 240 volt 20 amp outlet, a NEMA 6-20 and can now charge there at 3.6 kW instead of the 1.2 kW from the Leaf stock evse.
Also the unit I received did have a right angle plug, with the ground down, which I prefered but the picture shows it as a straight plug.
To sum up
1 watt idle (waiting) on either 120 vac or 240 vac
120v 10a setting approx 1.1 kW
120v 16a setting approx 1.7 kW
240v 10a setting approx 2.2 kW
240v 16a setting approx 3.6 kW
