Pros & Cons
Pros
This power supply has a very impressive amount of functionality and quality for the price. There have been at least some small sacrifices that have come with the low price. As with any value priced asian brand, please.
Fan with the thermostat is essential. No hiccups at all.
Clicking the voltage button unlocks the voltage for adjustment. If you continue to click the knob it cycles through each digit. One thing that i do to provide an extra guarantee that i won't hurt something by nudging the knobs is that when i'm finishe... Read More
I use it for charging automotive batteries, it works great. It provides a great introduction set-up for labs like ohm's law and testing ohmic vs non-ohmic devices. It has a decent voltage range and an excellent current range for its size and price ran... Read More
Easy to install and use, you just connect to the power supply with a com port. Works fine, but the controls are a little cumbersome. One thing i really like about the user interface is the audio feedback.

Quality
I was encouraged to see a review of this unit on youtube from 2018 where the inner build quality was quite good and utilized a ... Read More
Very happy with the performance and apparent quality of this 5a linear power supply
So the problem lies with the korad software
Windows recognized the serial device and automatically installed a microsoft driver but the software simply failed to communica... Read More
Price
I researched this quite a bit before purchasing so the specs were good and price was great for an entry level power supply
Price was great and so was the product
Surprisingly all the low cost switching supplies on amazon are all referenced to ground
But i wish that korad has raised the price a few dollars rather than cut corners on critical components
Shipping
The product description is perfect and shipping was incredibly fast
Packaging/appearance
Using the supply while varying the voltage or current is a pain in the patootie
The connectors on the front accept banana plugs or bare wire
Competitiveness
I use this for powering a drok control regulator boost power supply for charging my lifepo4 battery banks when i dont get enough sun
This is a great product one of the best out there for the price
I purchased this korad ka3005p power supply primarily to replace a 30v 3a variable supply that was generating too much noise in... Read More

Smaller than most units despite the higher than average current and voltage ratings

It takes very little space on the bench
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Not much fun to use as an everyday bench instrument though
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Its a royal pain to adjust the voltage and current with the same constant speed knob having to first select which of the two to adjust with an awkwardly hard to reach key then selecting which decade to control with even more awkwardly placed buttons then finally doing the adjustment by turning the coarsely cogged wheel forever
