Customer Reviews

This USB charger is out of the way (other chargers stick way out) so that's really nice. It appears to supply enough power for more power-hungry devices (smartphones, GPS) although only one at a time. However, it did not stay seated in my lighter plug. The internal spring tended to push it slightly out so that it would stop charging. I fixed it with a little duct tape wrapped around the barrel so now it's a tight fit. (By the way, this unit fits flush, so if it is in tightly, don't plan on just popping it in and out on a daily basis.) I also find the USB connector to be a bit loose. So far it hasn't caused any problem because in my car the cable doesn't get knocked around very much. But I feel it should fit a little more tightly. Despite these fit problems I give it four stars since you can work around the problems and it's the smallest such unit and it charges power-hungry devices.

My charging adapter works and has for over 6 months now. My only complaint is that the adapter can unseat easily stopping charge without notice; however the green light does give indication as purposed. I've tried it in various vehicles (Chevy, Ford, and Toyota) with several cigarette outlets in these vehicles with the same result. I mainly use it to hook a USB cable for charging my phone or my MP3 player while traveling. It works out great as my phone is a Micro-B plug and my MP3 player is a Micro-B plug so I can easily change the type of cable without having to remove this adapter from the outlet. Overall I give it 4 stars for the quality build but I deduct one star for the looseness of the adapter in the outlet.
