Only in one review: Power 300 W (20A Buck Converter); Ripple 80 mV (20A Buck Converter); Temperature rise 106 °C (20A Buck Converter); Price 48.19 $ (ZXY6005S).

20A Buck Converter: It works and is usable overall, but runs hot, falls short of the rated 36 V, and needs cooling.

ZXY6005S: The author liked this programmable module and recommends it for building a convenient bench supply despite a few shortcomings.
