The selling point of having the outlet, in the island where Steve and Vicki have theirs, is that the circuit that feeds it is a 20 amp dedicated circuit, nothing feeds off of it except that outlet, and the Vacuum.
It can handle (one at a time, of course) a waffle iron, toaster, coffee pot, electric heater, anything you can throw at it amperage wise, and you won't be overloading a circuit. In a kitchen, this is a consideration.
