Review on CanaKit Raspberry Supply Adapter Listed by Juan Russell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

It's a good PSU, but the warnings are questionable as hell

This thing doesn't work and delivers enough current to run my PiHole at 2B+. The problem is that there is a warning on the box that if your RPi has a lightning bolt icon, it's a problem with your Pi, not the power supply. That is not true. The lightning bolt icon means the Pi isn't getting enough power, period. That a manufacturer feels the need to hide potentially faulty products behind a false warning and tell you that it's not the power supply but an incompatible operating system is dubious at best, dishonest at worst, and fraudulent at worst. If you buy one of these and still get a lightning bolt icon, return it and don't look back.

Pros
  • 5ft cable with built-in noise filter
Cons
  • Almost never
