YES they meet "CODE" but IMHO they are just as bad as stab and jab receptacles.

X2!! on the WAGOs GARBAGE!!
Since the two of you are passing yourself off as experts, why do you not like WAGOs? Experience? Personal preference?
You'll have to determine if 38 years as a licensed electrician makes me an expert.
Wago's rely on spring pressure to hold a strip of metal against the wire just like those CHEAP back stabbed receptacles use. Tiny point of contact unlike wires that are twisted together then covered with a wirenut. I will say WAGOs are handy when doing speaker wires (not life safety speakers such as a fire alarm system) or connecting multiple control wires that do not carry more than 0.25 amp current.
