Is Sentey a good PSU brand?

I was searching PSU's on amazon and came across a PSU brand named "Sentey" There power supplies LOOK very high quality but really needed some professional opinion on it before buying it.

I understand they are good, but why is sentey bad?

Only has 32 amps on the 12v rail which is very poor for a 550w, supply.
