Review conclusionRecommendedWith reservations

Only in one review: Current 2 A (5 V 10 W power supply); In test 15 W (5 V 10 W power supply); Efficiency 78 % (5 V 10 W power supply); Temperature rise 117 °C (5 V 10 W power supply).

5 V 10 W power supply: A decent supply delivers up to 15 W, though a lower protection threshold and an output filter would help.

12 V 10 W power supply: It sustains nearly twice its rated power, but overload protection is set too high and ripple is substantial.

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.
