This voltage transformer is worth every penny. With its adjustable voltage knob, user can pin-point exact number of D. C. volts required. An extra feature to increasing or reducing voltage, user can brighten lights or make them softer or dimmer. There is one caution user must be aware. B4 removing battery pack or cutting wires to connect transformer, it’s extremely important to correctly identify positive D.C. wire(s) from negative D.C wire(s). If user miss-aligns positive wire(s) to negative wire(s) more than likely it will damage your device. Reason, unlike A.C. current which will accept miss-alignment, D. C. volts do not alternate and will (most likely) cause minor or severe damage. Again, for its price, this device is fantastic & awesome.

First time I try to use it, it is dead. I bought this as a spare, for "just in case" and when I finally needed it, it was dead. Unfortunately, it was after the 1 yr warranty. The manufacturer will not honor the warranty, even though it is still brand new.

The power cord for my RING security base station was damaged and I got this to replace it. It was easy to adjust the voltage and that was it.

I use this with an Ink mixer I have. Not sure if is the fault of the mixer or the charger but It stops working the tip of the charger won't stay in the machine so I keep buying more and each time the new one works for a while. I will continue to buy until I find a better solution.

Perfect that it comes with different attachments. Needed it for my dock as I had stored away the power cord in a box that is sitting at my storage. Hope I don’t need it for anything else.

I use the usb and my coworker uses the plug at the same time! Great value! Saves us so much money because we aren't using batteries and both of our cd players are battery hogs. Plenty of additional adapter plugs to fit various devices.

I purchased 2 of these units after reading other's comments. These units were attractive to me for the price and their amperage (total power) and their good ratings from many amazon users.My short suggestion (tldr) is:I'm cautious by nature, so I can only cautiously recommend these power supplies to people that don't have a voltage meter for checking the voltage that you want.I tried two of these units and got some unexpected results (detailed, below).My main concern for other consumers is that if you accidentally select a voltage that is too high, you could damage/fry items you are plugging into this power supply.I've documented my observed voltages and anomalies, below, if you want more background on this concern of mine.But if you know what you're doing, and have measuring equipment, I think these risks are lessened.Overall, I think I am going to like these power supplies, since I plan to set them and forget them (in other words, wont be changing their output voltage very often, and will be measuring voltage before connecting to my project(s)).If you want to know other observations and details I documented, read on:* NOTE: (I ordered two units. One came with a white USB port and the other with an orange USB port (see photos and my USB comments, below), so when I find or want to document differences between the two units, I will loosely use those colors for the sake of consistency)* The AC plug that you plug into the wall is not polarized.* I found the yellow voltage selector a little difficult to turn with my big fingers, so I GENTLY used a small pair of pliers to turn the voltage selector.* There are no "click stops" for each of the labeled voltages to help me realize I have arrived at the proper setting for that desired voltage, so I had to visually line up the arrow with the voltage setting I wanted.* Sometimes I did not easily observe the arrow end of the yellow voltage selector, and would try to turn the selector the wrong direction (because I was focused on the opposite, similar-looking end of the yellow arrow selector).* On my "white" unit, I observed that the voltage selector will rotate counter-clockwise (pretty far) past the lowest voltage label (3 volts). There appears to be no counterclockwise stop at the 3v setting label on that unit (but there was on the orange unit), but fortunately, there is a clock-wise stop at the 12v setting label (on both units). I feel like since the voltage selector would easily rotate counter-clockwise past the 3v label setting, that maybe it had something to do with the wandering voltages described below?* Depending on which direction I turned the yellow selector (clockwise or counter-clockwise) I would sometimes find the proper voltage in a different location than the marked voltage (especially white unit).* As some other reviewers noted, the voltage output does fluctuate up and down as you rotate the voltage selector.* I feel like the good news is that the voltage was well organized from low to high settings, meaning that while it did fluctuate within a couple of volts (usually downward) while turning the knob, I did not observe it fluctuating very much (if at all) above the amount of voltage that I was desiring to set it for.* More good news: When I was not rotating the voltage selector knob, the voltage did not fluctuate, and the knob seems stiff enough that it would not easily be accidentally turned without some serious accidental pressure.* I observed the following interesting voltage output behavior / pattern when (slowly) rotating the yellow voltage selector clockwise, starting from (or before) the 3 volt setting:* * (white unit) 3.12v > 4.54v > 3.12v > 5.38v > 3.12v > 6.10v > 3.12v > 7.66v > 3.12v > 9.37v > 3.12v > 12.36v* * (orange unit) 3.12v > 4.57v > 3.12v > 5.41v > 3.12v > 6.15v > 3.13v > 7.74v > 3.13v > 9.32v > 3.13v > 12.50v* It appears that 3.12v is some kind of default, and I like the fact that at least the voltages properly occurred in ascending order and did not exceed.* More good news: The voltage labels on the unit are "3v", "4.5v", 5v", "6v", "7.5v", "9v", "12v", and the actual output voltages I measured weren't very much higher than their labels. I was very happy about this.* However, as mentioned above, I feel like some bad news (for those without voltage measuring devices) is that the desired voltage was too often not found at the labeled location. I sometimes got a 3.12v measurement when the arrow was dead center on a higher voltage. The actual, desired voltage would be before or else after the dead-center marking.* I was pleased at the amount of different tips that came with the unit, although I probably wont be using most of them as I have a specific purpose in mind, but I like having the variety available to me in case I did need them in the future. I kind of wish they sold a unit without tips to save a couple of bucks, but I realize that's probably not feasible for market demand.* Their method of reversing the polarity is quite unique (to me). I am used to the old method of a switch on the unit to reverse the polarity, but instead, they're supplying a short connector wire that you can install in between the device and your tip that will reverse the polarity at the tip. Seems like a better method, to me, once you are aware that is what it is for.* Bad news: There is no instruction manual. Maybe desired, missing information is expected to be found digging around at the amazon listing / questions / etc?* I am confused by the USB nature of this power supply. There is a USB-A port at the bottom of the device next to the output cord, where you could conceivably plug in a USB cord to power (or charge?) a USB device? But there is no included USB-A cord. My confusion (concern) is boosted by the fact that there are two included USB tips you can use: One male USB micro B and One male USB-C. However, no instructions I could find tell users that the 5v setting should be used for the USB tips. It would be unfortunate to accidentally select the wrong (higher) voltage when using the USB tips on a USB device. According to the markings on the power supply, the USB-A port is 5v 2.1Amps, but I did not measure it as I dont plan to use it. Also unclear is: can you use the USB port at the same time that the power supply is supplying power to another device? Probably not?, but they dont really say for sure. USB tips do satisfy my puzzlement over the 5v output setting on the device, since I'm used to 1.5v (battery) output increments on most power supplies. And my final USB confusion is: of the two power supply units I received, one USB-A port was white (internally), and the other is orange (internally). I've attached photos. All other markings on the two units are the same, so maybe(?) one is a newer revision where they (manufacturer) are trying to better indicate a (newer) industry USB standard?* I am pleased to see assurances of safety features on the box: "over voltage protection", "over-current protection", "short-circuit protection", "over-temperature protection", "fire-retardant outer shell", "Anti-EMI interference", but I dont have the resources to test that these are true.* Construction seems sturdy. I did not notice any defects.* I like the blue power indicator light. It does not seem to be overly bright.FYI

I used it for our electric balances. Their original cords are broken and I use them as replacement. we have different type of balances in the lab that require different cords. By ordering these universal cords our problems have been solved.
