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.

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

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.

I have a portable GPS unit that only came with the car charger. I really didn't want to spend the $30 for the AC charger. This handy little gadget is the right price and does the same thing as the AC charger. I simply plug the car charger into it, plug the unit into an outlet and it charges the unit. It is a bit slower than the regular AC charge, but who cares. Plug it in when you go to bed and it is ready to go in the morning and with it being plugged into the car, the unit will continue to charge.

I got this so I could plug my 12V portable air compressor into a wall. It simply doesn't provide enough power so my compressor work work. For now I have to plug higher power demanding units into my cigarette lighter in my car. Fail.

I bought this product after reading the other reviews. The reason I needed it was because the power supply on my mini fridge died. The fridge also had a car adapter. Unfortunately this device was not strong enough to keep a constant flow of power going. I had used to car adapter before in the car with no proble. It seemed this device sent 5 seconds of power, reset, 5 seconds of power. I stopped using after fear that the constant resets would break the fridge. Side note: I bought a new power supply, and the fridge works fine now. So it wasn't the fridge doing the reset, it was the device.

How excited can one be about an AC/DC adapter? It does what it promises while remaining plugged into the outlet and maintaining its classic black styling. It certainly does adapt AND convert!

It's just as I imagined it to be. I plugged in my car FM transmitter and have been listing to my favorite music on the radio. It charges my Garmin nuvi GPS aswell. I received this product a week ago and it has been plugged into the wall ever since... and its still running... so far so good!

I bought this item to use in conjunction with my Coleman Powerchill Electric Travel Cooler 19 can, but the unit did not work properly with this cooler. I did not try it with any other device and the seller was kind enough to give me a full refund.

i got the item on time... i tried testing on my air compressor but it did not work... havent had chance to test anything else... i wish it had a indicator light on it to tell if its working or not.
