Machine delivery OK for low precision work (see details). Conditionally recommended

I bought an adjustable AC/DC adapter JOVNO 4V-12V 10A 120W as an additional power source for my bank. I've found that I often need multiple voltages at once and don't always have enough buck converters for what I need. I started using JOVNO with some 12v WS2815s and then some generic 5050 RGBWWs. The voltage regulation is quite subtle and seems stable even at the higher end of the power output scale. The display shows a high voltage (about 0.2V), but it seems to be fairly stable regardless of the voltage set. Build quality is what you would expect from a sub-$30 power supply, that is, not impressive. Once you go above 60W, the device gets noticeably warmer. At 90W+ it is very hot. I don't think that's a problem, but it's worth keeping an eye on. Final Thoughts? Well, I use it as an additional desktop power supply, which is probably not a common use case for this device. However, he did a good job. I'm not going to use this for something very sensitive to input voltage. I saw someone else had a weak discharge, but I didn't have it because I'm using the V+ shutdown. If you're using it as a spare power supply, I'd be careful with the voltage dial. Conditionally recommended
