Worst! Product! Ever! This is a very poor quality design. When it is plugged into the socket, any little bump or jolt causes it to lose power. No matter what angle it is set in, it is physically impossible not to jiggle it. I drive a stick and every time I shift gears, the shifter knocks it out of kilter. Drives me crazy (those who know me say that it's a short trip) :-)

On the upside, the USB port worked and is a cool gadget. It powered my iBook nicely on a recent trip. Too bad the rest of it was such a piece of junk.

This is not the adapter you're looking for, move along.....

1.0 out of 5 stars Faulty Unit, August 1, 2008

This review is from: Powerline By Original Power 0900-79 12-Volt DC Dual Socket Splitter with USB Charging Port (Lawn & Patio)

I bought this unit for a driving vacation, and the entire unit stopped working after a few minutes. It may have been the fuse in the power outlet adapter, but I only had a GPS and an iPhone plugged in it.

Foolishly, I bought another one a few hundred miles away, hoping I had bought a lemon and that the product was probably good. Unfortunately, the USB died on this unit after a couple of hours.
I ended up using a larger more expensive power adapter with a Griffin double-USB powerblock. It worked fine except for the space it took up.

Would someone please make a product along these lines, that works well for people like me who have GPS, iPhones and other devices that need to be charged.
The product should also be solid, and not loosely rattle around on its hinges like this device. The product would ideally also have 2 USB ports and be able to charge iPods/iPhones/digital cameras without blowing a fuse.

This thing blew out the fuses on 2 of my satelite radios, and blew out the fuse on my car while I was using the USB port to charge my iphone. When you plug things into it they come back out in short order. It also comes out of the socket that you plug it into. NOT happy. Its too bad because its a good idea.
