Good value-Verhätnis

Pro:
- Solid built. Reminds me of the old power supplies which were formerly in PC towers could install yourself
- Sufficient with 1000 watts for large appliances or several smaller devices
- Very quiet. One hears only a slight hum when the room is otherwise quiet.
- Dedicated mechanical on / off switch with indicator light. No current eating standby.

Contraindications:
- Peculiar smell at initial use or even when unpacking. My guess is that here adhesives have been used in China that have yet "evaporate" in heat. The smell goes away but after two or three days.

Have the appliance is now about 4 weeks and have run it continuously since I've been using it for several US units. Should cool to save power and allow the unit to it off and leave it off for several hours. A certain portion of the energy is lost as heat and evaporates thus useless. Therefore, it makes sense during longer disuse turn the unit off and disconnected from the mains.

Conclusion: Highly recommended for each of the devices has the US not switch automatically. Most modern turn meanwhile automatically because it is cheaper for the company to install a power supply for all devices produced and only to change the power plug. However, some companies build intentionally not switchable power supplies to a similar country codes in DVD / BR players, to safeguard the market.
