1.0 out of 5 stars cord problems, January 16, 2009

I purchased this power supply to take on the road. I am traveling about half the time, so the unit gets a fair amount of use. The cord from the power supply to the computer is poorly designed where it attached to the charger. The plug at the charger end is difficult to extract once it is seated, and I have to do this several times a week whenever I pack things up. This cord failed after about a year, and was replaced under warranty with the new style (which has a spring-wound take-up reel.) It took almost a month to get the new cord (although they say within 10 business days.) The new model cord failed after about three months, and now I'm waiting for the replacement (still under warranty, luckily.) I guess I will end up ditching this thing once the cord fails after the warranty period is over.

1.0 out of 5 stars Ended Support by iGo, July 21, 2009

This was a wonderful adapter. I accumulated quite a few extra tips to work with my various devices. Now I learned that the geniuses at iGo have discontinued this model and therefore supply no further tips for this device. My only solution would be to purchase an entirely new adapter from these folks ...... and then the tips ...... so that they could then discontinue THAT model as well and I could start all over.

Avoid the iGo company's products. They are idiots.

5.0 out of 5 stars Better in Everyway than 130, July 11, 2008

Dell's don't charge with the iGo Everywhere130, but that's Dell's fault, not iGo. However, after 2 years of use my everywhere130 died and I loved it enough to buy another. I ended up with the everywhere85 and low and behold it does charge my Inspiron 6000, which the 130 did not. It is also smaller and less bulky. I think the 130 is a great product, I loved it enough to lug it around the world instead of my cell phone, camera, iPod and other charges. I'm just happy to finally not have to also take a seperate charger for my laptop. Lighter, smaller, need less chargers. One word of warning though, the laptop tips from the 130 do not work for the 85, but the other tips do.
