So it's accurate and 30V 5A is more than enough for many projects, no complaints there. In terms of user interface, I think it's fantastic. Really happy with how simple and intuitive it is. There are no weird additional functions that require you to hold buttons and input something; all the functionality is clear and you don't have to read the user manual to understand what the buttons do.
The memory functions work very simply; whatever memory setting you have selected, any changes you make are stored there. It's a bit of a bummer that if you change something, you have to change it back instead of being able to just save one setting and revert, but I appreciate the simplicity.
The lock, over voltage protection, and over current protection is very easy to use and self explanatory. You need to hold the lock button for a couple of seconds to turn it on and off. With the lock on, the buttons and knob do nothing. Great for making sure you don't fry something by accidentally changing settings.
One thing I really like about the user interface is the audio feedback. A lot of people don't like it when their equipment beeps with every button press, but I think it's nice to know that your button press registered, and this power supply does it really well. All of the buttons make a beep, and things like using the lock or turning the unit on produce a different beep. The knob (which is a rotary encoder that is not continuous but has bumps, not sure what you call that) makes a clicking sound when you increment or decrement (is that a word?) a digit, which feels really nice.
Inputting a voltage/current is really quick and easy despite there being no keypad. For the price, it's completely acceptable that there's no keypad, and the rotary encoder and left/right buttons work just fine. The audible feedback and clicks in the rotary encoder make it easy to really quickly dial in a value.
There is software included as well, and it's pretty good. I'm not completely sure, but it seems like it's just a labview program (though I don't know too much about labview, I am just a lowly undergrad EE student). It does install some national instruments stuff during the installation process. It's very easy to install and use, and you just connect to the power supply with a COM port. You can do anything on the software that you can do with the physical buttons, with some additional functionality. With the software, you can output a sequence of voltages at any time interval. You can also record the voltage and time at any interval and save that data to a text file, which you can import into Matlab or whatever you want to use. It shows graphs of the current and voltage as well. All this stuff is great for plotting I-V curves and seeing how much current your device is using over time. Cool stuff.
Since it connects with a COM port, I'm sure you could get it to work with your own Labview programs, matlab stuff, or any other applicable software. I used the USB port (cable is included), but there's also a serial port which is cool.
My one complaint with the software is that the buttons for quickly recalling set voltages and currents are filled with some seemingly random values and don't save what you change them to when exiting the program. Weird stuff.
The connectors on the front accept banana plugs, or bare wire. They seem like pretty nice connectors and all my banana plugs fit well. The included leads are perfectly functional, although the banana plug portion has a screw and an extra hole, so not sure what's going on there. They feel a bit weird. But who cares, you're probably using your own leads anyways.
Overall, there's nothing I can fault with this unit. It seems like all the things I've seen in reviews on youtube have been fixed or improved, and everything is high quality and easy to use. I'm very happy with this unit and the price I paid for it.
I normally don't write lengthy reviews like this, but I think this trend of inexpensive but high quality equipment (like the Rigol DS1000 series scopes) is really important for students and beginners like myself. This power supply really stands out to me as a great bang for the buck for an engineering student on a budget.

This power supply really stands out to me as a great bang for the buck for an engineering student on a budget.
Some of the feature I like with this power supply:
1. The best feature is that it has a cooling fan at the rear of the supply. This really helps keep internal components cool which is important if you are using it in a warm area with limited cooling. The fan is very quiet and will automatically adjust fan speed depending on the power load. This is one of the main reasons I chose this supply over many others.
2. The unit is easy to operate and comes with a decent instruction manual written in English.
3. The display is bright and easy to read your setting even from a distance.
4. The knobs to adjust the power settings feel good and solid.
5. It has a grounding connection which some other supplies do not have.
6. The unit shipped with alligator clips (3 feet)
7. Heavy duty single channel power supply with continuously adjustable voltage and current.
8. 120/220v selector switch in the back of the unit.
If you are in the market for an adjustable DC power supply I highly suggest you give this product a try, you won't be disappointed! I expect that it will last for a very long time as it has proven itself already many times.
If you have any questions please feel free to ask!

The only con is somebody mustve made a mistake on this power cord. As others have noticed, it’s not a good fit and falls out. I’ve had to tape it on and will be buying a different cord for it. Hopefully its just the cord and not the actual socket that has weird dimensions (depth seems too short)
*UPDATE* bought the first power cord I could find, like the ones you use for a PSU, fit perfectly. Something very off about the one that comes with this unit, it’s about 1/4 inch too long, non-standard
A push button selects output voltage or current limit with a single control to adjust the levels. That's my only quibble: if the control is inactive for a few seconds after adjustment the control is deselected - a little longer would have, for me, been better. On the whole though it is a good PSU.
The first thing you'll notice when you pull it out of the box is, it's quite heavy. This is a good thing, the transformer inside the unit looks to be of good quality.
The second thing you'll notice, if you apply an electronic load drawing the full 5 amps, is the unit will switch to constant current at 5A. The voltage may drop a little bit (few millivolts) but that's no big deal... you shouldn't run bench power supplies at full load anyways.
I and a coworker tested the unit with an oscilloscope and a precise, calibrated electronic load. The voltage readout on the unit under load was bang on. The current readout was bang on. And the ripple, at ~30V drawing the full 5 amps, the maximum power for the unit... was 10 millivolts.
This is amazing for such a low cost variable power supply. 10 millivolts ripple will allow you to power many high speed electronic systems with it, and it's cheap enough you can have multiple around to provide for various rails. Of course, it is outside the spec of some parts, but if you're developing with those parts, you will have the budget for more expensive gear to fit that spec.
All in all, this is a VERY impressive hobbyist bench power supply, and I hope the quality never falls. They can charge double for this device, and it would still be worth it. I'm using it to power the 24v logic of the Teknic Clearpath SC servo system, and it works very well for that purpose.
