Pros

  • Very efficient
  • Excellent voltage regulation
  • Good ripple suppression
  • Semi-fanless, Almost silent
  • Very competitively priced

Cons

  • Shuts off at full load (−1)
  • Some questionable quality capacitors (−1) in a semi-fanless product that advertises higher quality capacitors (−0.5)
  • Messy soldering (−0.5)

Final comments: Overall, we think that this is a very promising design, with excellent output performance, and very high efficiency. If Huntkey could tweak the Over Temperature Protection and use entirely Japanese Capacitors, this would be a gold award worthy product.

Score: 7/10
