10/10 Good product This PSU is ideal for powering our SkyWatcher EQ6-R Pro mount, it is robust and comes good lengthy of cable. (08/05/2023) Mark - Isle of Wight

10/10 Telescope mount power Much bettter than running off battery. (11/09/2022) John Edmondson - Newcastle

10/10 Simple, effective and needs no attention I researched several power supplies for the EQ6R Pro. Some were bulky, some looked good but not up to a cold dewy night in winter, some had meters, knobs and looked fancy. This one is plug and go and just does what it says on the tin. A simple, well made regulated power supply. (29/08/2022) George - Manchester

10/10 Great This works flawlessly. I use it with EQ6r pro and it does the job perfectly. Harrison’s were super helpful too, very quick to respond to me (on a Sunday evening too I seem to remember!) great company with a great selection of products, thank you. (16/01/2022) Hannah - SW

10/10 Excellent Ordered this yesterday afternoon after getting a few adapters from other places that kept blowing up.. Received it after a day and works like a charm.. Thanks guys (13/11/2020) Mr s ahmed - Walthamstow

10/10 Works well. Bought to power a dew strip and it works really well. Leads are long enough it it holds the cigarette adapter nice and securely. (06/06/2020) Steve - Kent

10/10 Excellent Service Well built and a solid connection to the power supply. Arrived nice and quick too. Will be ordering a second. (02/05/2020) Malcolm Dent - Norfolk

10/10 Works perfectly and great service Drives EQ8 fine and was delivered very efficiently. (04/10/2019) -

10/10 works perfectly Bought two of these, one for dew heater and one for my EQ6-R mount The cables are very long giving lots of flexibility (3m-4m) (07/05/2019) Shaun - Wokingham

10/10 Great product Bought this to power my Dew controller at home. Works really well. (21/12/2018) Paul - Hartford

10/10 Power supply Phoned Harrison's for advise on providing power to my new EQ6 mount and this is the power supply suggested. Works perfectly I couldn't be more pleased. (03/08/2018) B Mears - Gosport

10/10 Unlimited Power When you are out in your backyard, slewing (for alignment, observing deepsky objects etc) and your battery run's out of power very quickly. Luckily, the Universal Mains comes to the rescue. It's compatible with majority of the mounts out there. Highly recommended. Very good customer service. (21/06/2018) Deepak - London

8/10 Good power suply with car type socket. This power supply allows me to connect the AZ-EQ5 using the power cable supplied with the mount. One thing to note is that the 12V lead from the power supply is only about 1.1 metre and so I puchased a longer lead to replace the lead supplied with the telescope. (11/11/2017) Brian Murray - Bexhill-on-Sea

10/10 Great value for money product. Can thoroughly recommend. First class customer service and prompt delivery. (13/10/2017) -

10/10 A simple universal solution Problem: power lead required but with different manufacturers of telescope mounts with slightly different plugs - which one to choose? Solution is this universal power supply with a car type cigar socket that allows me to couple up to any of my mounts and use mains power! (25/08/2017) Paul - Lincolnshire
