It's compact, well designed and easy to use, plus it charges the batteries rapidly - a full charge in an hour or less and the batteries seem to last all day, unless subjected a to a lot of flashes.

I received this product with the Correct U.S. Power Plug. I ordered this directly from Amazon. The charger is very small and works perfectly. I only gave it four stars due to the Long cord that is attached instead of having Prongs that just fold down on the back. That would truly make this a compact charger.

Although the item is titled VAR-L40U which is the US version with a standard US plug--you get the VAR-L40 which has the European version plug--useless in the USA. The manufacturer puts a sticker on the box which says VAR-L40U but it is really the European plug. I tried 2 times to purchase the item with the same negative result. Don't blame Amazon, it's the manufacturer. I tried another vendor and wound up with the same issue. After many calls to Sanyo, I finally found someone who can send me the US cord--I hope it works with the base. To be continued.
