I should have paid attention to the reviewers who indicated problems with the wall charger in this set. I plugged my Creative Zen V Plus into the charger last night and it seemed to be working. After several hours it had not charged fully, which was strange because the battery wasn't really down that low. When I disconnected the player from the charger, the Zen V went into recovery mode. I reset several times and tried all the options in the recovery menu. After multiple attempts to re-install firmware, my PC froze and I had to go into task manager to end the install. Then my player suddenly booted up and started working. I am extremely aggravated about this for several reasons:

1. Amazon should NOT describe a product as being "from Creative labs" if it will not work with Creative products.

2. The charger clearly caused problems with my player. I have only had the player for a week, and now I am nervous about further problems, especially since I'm not sure the final firmware install completed as it should have.

3. Several hours worth of work was lost since I had to reload everything onto my player.

The car charger seems to work, although I have only used it once. Now I will be holding my breath each time I try it.

I should have known not to take the cheap way out, but I expect that a product associated with Creative labs should at least not destroy my player. Shame on you Amazon!

I bought this adapter and used it and it ruined my player. I contacted the company and got no response. Avoid this product!

The Home Travel Wall charger seems erratic; when it's plugged in the battery icon on the Creative Zen V Plus fluctuates as if there was something wrong. The rapid cigarette lighter adapter charger seems to work well.

Both the wall and car units will charge my Creative Zen V Plus MP3 player and my Garmin Nuvi 750 GPS. Neither unit will charge my Palm T22 PDA. So, I am partially satisfied.

The wall charger does not work. I used the cigarette lighter adapter charger once and didn't seem to work. Spend more money to get a charger that works.

You don't need to buy anything else for this product. This is the least expensive and does the job awsome. Best choice to make in getting.

I bought this charger to replace the original charger that came with my wife's Zen V Plus after the blades on the original charger fell out, but it doesn't work. Rather than a green light on the charger coming on and the MP3 player indicating that it is charging, a red light comes on, the MP3 player turns itself on, and then nothing happens. We have left it plugged in numerous times overnight, and the charge on the player does not increase a bit. The car charger does the same thing. Unfortunately, we have reverted back to charging it via a USB port on one of our laptops, as this is the third aftermarket charger that I have bought that has not worked with this player. I am very disappointed with this product. Although it looks identical to the charger that it replaced, it simply does not work, at least not with my wife's Zen V Plus.

very clear instructions & easy to use. very good value for the price. I would recommend this to any of my friends.

Item came quickly and was as advertised. Brand new, wrapped in plastic. Color was white -- which I really liked! Easy to pick out from all the other chargers I have.

The wall charger seems to work, but it very slow. The car charger killed my creative mp3. It had the "docked" indicator on and nothing would function. The player wouldn't charge at all, and now after trying to reset it, the entire player is dead. Don't buy this product.
