So far so good.  Time owned: more than 12 months
I've had mine for over a year. Used for powering my IC-7000, both at the home shack and while traveling (Field Day, etc.). Its been solid at 13.8 VDC out and the current measurement has been pretty accurate. Only reason for the 4/5 grade is based on the meter lamps (which many folks have had issue with). The voltage meter lamp went south after about six months, and the current meter lamp is intermittent.

Powerfull, but...  Time owned: 6 to 12 months
I have owned this power supply for a year. Right at the one year mark, the miniature tube lights that light up the meters blew, one right after the other. I sent the unit back to Jetstream and they did honor the warranty by replacing the meters. Turnaround time was just under 2 weeks.

Otherwise, this power supply is very powerful and is able to handle my needs with ease.

Good Supply  Time owned: 0 to 3 months

Will re-review at a later date. I bought this supply
and it is very quiet ( no fan noise ) and has
no RF hash. This is a very nice supply for
the money and I would recommend to anyone.

The amperage meter is a little stingy, the volt
meter was right on. For the money cant be beat.

A friend of mine bought a linear supply w/ meters
and it went up in smoke after 6 months!
