Does it have a USB interface?
As for pulling the birds, you will have no problem with this PSU, they will build a nest with all that electric straw in no time!
Not to sure, the spec is a bit vague on that aspect. But is it has it will be really really usful for charging/fixing, cell phones, GSM, tablets, ebooks ....
Wouldn't help me; I have fogotton how they work
Where is it manufactured? China? If so, be afraid, be very afraid.
I agree. But,... most electronic items are manufactured there. Even from big/important companies. Even an iPhone or high end tech is usually built on Asia.
That fact, on its own, is not determinant. Don't you think?
Wow Ratch,
That's a bit frightning?
Know what you mean about China goods.
But I have used heaps of their electronic stuff, and if you pick and choose, you can get some incredible bargins: for example 1A SMPSU board at £1 UK, including PP all the way from HK.
I also bought a highish end DAC amp: incredibly good design, build and support... and it also sounds superb. About 0.3333333% of equivalent UK equipment and it is built better too. Oh yeah, and sounds better.
About the PSUs, the pair of 0V to 30V 10A versions that I will probably get are absolute junk build, but I dont care. I would pay the price asked just for the case. They have a cooling fan that sounds like a Boeing 747 staring up; that will be the first thing that will be replaced. The next will be the heatsinking for the 2n3055 pass transistor. These PSUs also produce a positive voltage glitch at turn-on, not sure how I will fix that yet, but should be pretty straight-forward. The beauty of them, apart from the cost, is low tech, which is compatable with my low tech brain.
Sometimes I buy a handfull of modules just for the components, especially res capacitors, where one capacitor as a component costs about 2x the cost of four on a board.
The Chinese are very clever and make excellent design engineers, but there is the other side to some Chinese products; rip-offs are my big moan, especially batteries, big caps, and power trans, BJT and MOSFET.
The other thing I have found, even buying from Ebay, is that they immediately sort any problems. But once again you have to choose your vendor.

5A version but similar design- you can see the guts:
Hi fezder,
Like I said, you have to chose your product and vendor wisely, and even then you have to know what you are doing. If you look at the 0 to 30V 10A SMPSU it is well designed and built, even got fibregass FR4 PCB. There is a load of junk products from all parts of the world, even the UK, especially before the Japanese and then Chinese invasion. Many of the Brit designed and made cars were unbelivably bad- many unbelivably good too.
I never think that you can judge anything or anybody by the the country of origon. It's merit that counts. As I have alredy said, I have some products, especially my DAC amp, where the design and bult are simply superb, by any standards. Also, the Chinese open frame SMPSU in the review above is another example of good design and build. Some of the best engineers in the States are Chinese. The Chinese have always been a clever nation.
What happened, your Rover didn't start this morning?Many of the Brit designed and made cars were unbelivably bad
oh yes, there are good and bad vendors and factories in china, not all chinese stuff is junkLike I said, you have to chose your product and vendor wisely,
Re: disappointment rate
Do you have data on that, or is it just your biased opinion? Are people disappointed with Apple? It's Made in China.

Ratchit,
Try answering the question, rather changing the subject. I don't give a damn about dog food made in China. I asked simply for you to provide data to substantiate your claim(s).
John
