5.0 out of 5 stars Solid product, April 22, 2011

The Good: Strong, durable design that is clearly made to last. The inside of each socket is lit with a blue LED which can be useful at night. 15 amp support that helps you avoid overloading the device (best in its class).

The Not So Good: The blue LED on the outside of the device gets annoying after a while. No swivel option in the design of the adapter plug that would allow you to flip the female socket-end forward.

What can I say? Five stars for being simple and effective. It's also hard not to appreciate the price.

I purchased this adapter for use in a '07 dodge and it worked out just great. What may make my situation different from other reviewers is the aux outlet in my vehicle is in the floor. With this in mind, this adapter is great to face upwards and provide dual power to my satellite radio and radar detector.

Purchasing this product I was fully aware that it does not adjust, but in a different vehicle under different circumstances; I could see that it might present a problem with this product lacking with regard to bending flexibility. For the quality and simple fact that it works for my situation, I give it five stars.

Pros
Works
reasonable quality
Cheap price
Keeps chargers off the cup holder (see related cons below)
Cool blue light

Cons
Because of fixed head design, it works only a certain way in certain cars.
In my 02 Honda Civic it can face to the left towards driver door, right towards the passenger door or down towards the cup holder, but not up, towards the ceiling.
In my 98 Chrysler Cirrus, the head can only face down into the cup holder. This can be a major drawback, if your car plug is to close (height wise) to the cup holder.

Over all happy with purchase. It does it job, but please check positioning needs before purchasing. Will try to post pics soon.
