Review conclusionWith reservationsWith reservations

Only in one review: In test 135 W (RPS-120-27); No load 1.2 W (UM-U120S); Temperature rise 100 °C (UM-U120S); Price 11.99 $ (UM-U120S).

UM-U120S: Overall, the power supply is decent, but needs cooling for sustained operation at its rated power.

RPS-120-27: Well built and handles the load reliably, but it buzzes noticeably, has high ripple, and is difficult to repair.

Figures were taken from the review text and checked against the quoted passages. Measurement conditions differ between reviews, so read the reviews yourself before buying. Prices at the time of review.
