On the other hand, I agree with LavenderPickle that you should be very wary of Amazon and any products that you ingest or wire up to mains voltage. However in this case, I think it is ok.
The kit itself is awesome, although I wish there were more inline connectors and fewer 5 terminal connectors. If you're on the fence about wire nuts vs. Wago, definitely give this a try. If you've ever worked over your head in a tight space or worked with a mix of solid and stranded wires, you'll be a believer as soon as you snap those levers down (and give the wire a good tug to be sure).

$20.95 - $5.24 = $16.13. <- NOPE...
But my final price was $16.13...
Do I trust Wagos? Sure, if they're from a trusted seller.
Is Amazon a trusted seller? Oh my dear goodness, no absolutely not. They commingle inventory -- you have a VERY strong likelihood of getting a counterfeit. Personally, I've gotten counterfeit toothbrushes, textbooks, and microSD memory cards. I've gotten "sold as NEW but arrived as USED" cabinet hinges, sheet protectors, and even underwear. Yeah. That was just as gross as you'd imagine.
If you get a counterfeit 110v mains electrical product, does that increase the risk of electrical fire? "Hey Computer, play song titled 'We actually DID start the fire.' Thanks!"
If I was messing around with some temporary 5v/12v arduino-esque project, sure -- these would be pretty cool. But I'd NEVER put them in a place where catastrophic failure could result in severe harm.
Where should I buy them, if not from scAmazon? Simple. Home Depot or a local electrical supply house.

I just clicked on the video on the product page and the voiceover pronounced them "WAHgo's"

So as long as you stay within guidelines of amperage and wire size, they ARE rated.... Up to 600v IIRC, They ALSO sell larger lever nuts meant for 10g wire and i don't remember if they upped the amperage rating for those or not, but as long as you size the nuts for the wire, you should be golden.
I love wagos. Use them for everything from quick test bench wiring, to home wiring, to automotive (if its inside the cab) to arduino, hell, I even used wagos to extend two pieces of speaker wire as I didn't have a longer piece of cable for a certain run in my garage and it works fine.
I love them.
