I just looked this brand and model up and don't see it yet, and I don't see it on the side of the housing, so I'm gonna guess this doesn't have a UL listing. That's usually a good starting point to see if it's reputable.

Relying on a UL logo isn't much protection as you must trust that the company is being honest in using it. Best bet is to rely on a company's reputation, which may not result in you getting a quality product, but it should be safe at the very least.

UL listing is more than just a logo on the product. They run a public database where anyone can verify the certification.

You also get audited, although that could just be for medical equipment, but sure.
