Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)This product does NOT deserve the 2 stars the other reviewers gave it. One reviewer got the wrong product, apparently (which has to do with the seller), while the other doesn't seem to realize that the USB port is for charging peripherals, NOT a computer.
Pros:
-has basically all plug adapters you need built-in or easily removable.
-compact
-sturdy, good quality plastic, kind of like Lego
-decent USB power port rated at 500mA
-lights for AC Power and USB power
Cons:
-does not ground
-instructions say 110V-250V, but unit says 100-250V. Should work in Japan, but haven't tested it.
Notes:
*Do not pay full price at a retailer for this item! I got mine from the seller in this listing. It was delivered in a simple bubble-envelope with instruction sheet, no maim-shell packaging.
*I LOVE the lights on this thing. You can plug in and know right away if there is AC.
*Furthermore, the USB lights up depending on the current being drawn and thus flickers when something is trickle-charging. Know what this means? It means you can tell AT A GLANCE if your device is 95% charged!!! Do NOT top-off your battery-powered devices to 100%! The "memory effect" is a myth. The real culprit is topping-off your battery. Charge your devices until the USB flickers and then remove them.
*keep in mind that, as with all modern plug converters, your primary device must be rated to use 100-250V mains power. This adapter will NOT step-up or step-down voltage (unnecessary with modern electronics).
The only possible improvements to this would be if there was an extra USB port or if it was somehow rotatable.
This thing kicks ASS and is a great bargain compared to the other name-brand junk out there that is either over-priced or over-priced AND doesn't have USB power.
