Is this robust enough to plug up to a standard 120V/110V 60Hz USA wall plug with its leads to measure possible fluctuation when load is applied to the circuit it is measuring?

TheGearHogThe specifications says the maximum input is 80Vp-p (peak to peak) with the X1 probe included in the drop. Connecting the X1 probe to a wall plug will destroy the device and is also a shock hazard.
The optional X10 probe might work. The specs claim it is rated to 400Vp-p with the X10 probe. I would not risk it.
A line spike would probably kill the DSO. I'm concerned that it is far too easy to accidentally unplug the probe. That could be a shock hazard.
I would use transformer to cut down the voltage to something safe and observe that. An off the shelf 9VAC wall transformer would good and far safer.
