Title: Kunkin KL283
Post by: queennikki1972 on September 17, 2019, 03:01:47 pm

Does anyone have the Kunkin KL283 or have found a review on it? I was just wondering if this is a OK brand for dc loads.

You'll find a couple of comments here:

You can also troll through the aliexpress listings to see if anyone has posted any reviews (besides reporting that they got the product - translated from Russian)

I have it, got it as a new return for $135 delivered, the fan is loud even when cold.  I added temperature control which can require some motivation as the fan is hard to get at and there are two independent heatsinks to monitor with the single fan.  I added some decent silicone leads.  After that I've been happy enough with it.
