I wanted to not believe and did the previous reviews if the low price and the TP-Link offer ignored (10 credits). But it really is true: With nearly 10W consumption (8 connected LAN cable between 3m and 20m), the device is simply an energy waster. In 7/24 operation, which is actually common for these devices to make the annualized expected already noticeable - if you consider that a comparable Zyxel Switch not even used up half. So returned and ordered the GS1100-16 from Zyxel. Apart from the high electricity consumption, but I can not report anything negative, however, the unit was also very short in operation.
