Review on AspenTek Supply Adapter Inline Switch by Justin Hill

Revainrating 1 out of 5

DANGEROUS. FIRE HAZARD. DO NOT BUY.

It exploded. No, literally: it exploded. Let me be perfectly clear: he left with a bang. My desk, my partner and I heard a loud "pop" as we went to bed and upon examination discovered that one of the motherboard components had exploded and ripped the plastic backplate from the back of the unit. I'm incredibly grateful that we were both in the apartment when this happened: I shudder to think of what might have happened if we hadn't been here and left to smolder. In short, unless you're hoping for a big insurance payout and you're feeling incredibly lucky, don't buy this. Pay a few bucks more for a true UL certified power supply.

Pros
  • Tools and household goods
Cons
  • Definitely bad product
