1.0 out of 5 stars 0.5A that's it, will charge your GPS or your Phone, December 31, 2010

I rated this seller a neutral, but he requested to remove in exchange for a refund. I asked him that he should update the product description with a power rating, but he did not. Seemingly he wants to keep the power rating off to keep selling.

Please don't buy, it's a junk of no use, because it has an amperage of 500ma, which is a minimum to charge your cellphone. Nothing else will work.

1.0 out of 5 stars Image NOT representative, very Loose fitting, January 12, 2011

This product serves my needs (barely). I really like it, but the loose fitting is annoying. I have to tie it up to keep the charger plug in place. The build quality is extremely cheap. So I have a two spares. Never have I bought multiple items of such a low quality product, but it does do its job with some twist ties attached.

The image does NOT match what I received. I ordered this specific product in addition to similar devices from other sellers. I was looking for a variety of plug orientations for flexibility. They all arrived as the exact same product. The product I received from this order did NOT match the picture at the time of order nor at the time of this posting.

SELLER SHOULD POST THE EXTREMELY LIMITED WATTAGE RATING

3.0 out of 5 stars Not enough power, September 14, 2010

Serves me right for not carefully reading the existing reviews of this product before purchasing. It puts out 500 milliamps at best, so it will probably charge your GPS or cell phone, but I needed something to power a car vacuum and air compressor for use in the garage. This item was useless for those applications. Fortunately, it didn't cost much. I finally got the Wagan 5-amp adapter for the "heavy duty" jobs and that seems to work quite well.
