I used the Wagan Twin USB/DC Socket Traveler's Adapter for 6 months and found it very convenietn to have two lighter sockets and 2 USB ports. My usual configuration is to have my cell phone, gps, and notebook computer plugged in, but this last time I plugged in my laptop, the power indicator light went out and the unit smoked. I checked the fuse, which was fine, but the springs connecting the fuse had overheated and melted the surrounding plastic. Dang! Bottom line? I liked this well enough that I am back to order a replacement.

I really appreciate the two USB power sockets. They remove the need for a bulky charger normally put into the cigarette lighter, or in this case into the two DC sockets on the adapter. I can chage my IPOD without the bulk of the normal car charger; I can charge my DELL AXIM PDA the same way. I can also charge my cell phone, however, I've got to use the clunky car charger that comes with the phone.
I bought two of them. I bought the adapter because the DC socket built into the car stopped working. Using this adapter was a helluva lot cheaper than having a Toyota dealer try to fix the built-in DC socket outlet.

I needed an adapter to plug in my blackberry and gps in the car. This little item works perfectly. For the reviewer who said the swivel was flimsy, I did not have that problem. Its a sturdy product. I swiveled mine -gently- and I had no problem. The two usb ports are also perfectly positioned. Great item!

it is the perfect dual/usb charger for a car where it lets you plug 2 Dc chargers and 2 USB chargers.

i have played music thru ipod touch connected via DC socket and charged my blackberry using the USB port and talking on the phone... i haven't seen any disturbance or quality issues on the phone or on the music being played thru the aux port.

Swivel is alright, though could have done better but is a good in-built option

overall perfect charger for the car.

Product worked a total of 20 minutes! Was not able to even warm the car up before the product stopped working.

The unit is composed of cheap plastic parts and crapy customer service. Even thought is has a 1 years warranty, All I got was that I broke it and sorry.

I would never buy from a vender that does not stand behind there product.

I bought 2 sets of this for my car and my wife's car. But both of them were broken within a month. The joint was tilt and seemed to be useful, but two adapters set on this, this joint could not hold their weight and broken.

I don't recommend this products and never buy this again.

This adapter looks great and the price was right. Then I opened it and it immediately broke when I plugged in an itrip. The base cracked under very little weight. The adapter still works but I needed to use duct tape to reinforce the base so that it could be used, I would not buy this again or recommend it to anyone.

It has been a while since I bought this product and it is still working good in my car. I needed an extra socket for my gadgets and this is perfect since can plug in any using USB too. Highly recommended. Am very satisfied with it.

This was perfect for my needs, and a great price, a year and a half ago. Recently it broke into three pieces, so there's exposed chips and wires everywhere. I'm replacing it now, but the way it sheared off on the internal plastic posts was disappointing.
