I wouldn’t use it for stuff that’s critical or that can damage something else if it doesn’t work properly (like electrical stuff).
And since they’re cheaply made, they’re not easy to repair, either. So you’re burdened with a broken thing you either have to throw away or work really hard to make work again.
Aliexpress is a marginally better storefront where you’ll find good deals (not 3 cents for 300 dollars’ worth kind of deals, but still). You just have to surf through a lot of bad postings from sellers with no reputation.
Just watch out, sometimes you’ll just get the same thing that’s on temu, just more expensive.
