Great Product, super fast shipping (even from over seas!)

I have purchased approx 80 of these for my company for our technicians to charge their devices at home. If you are attempting to charge a larger device that uses a lot of power you need to turn it off to get a full charge. This same product sells at Target for 12.99 EXACT SAME! I love them and today received my box of 65. My employees are scrambling to get them, which is funny and makes me happy, because my employees COMPLAIN ABOUT EVERYTHING!

PROS:
-Compact
-Have a Charging/Error light to protect your device
- Nice snug fit to the male 12v car piece
- utilitarian (inexpensive and works like it should, no bells and whistles)
- Great for Road Warriors or traveling, charge your GPS, Tablet, and other devices overnight for a fresh start
CONS:
- Personal preference but it could have a prettier/sleeker design
- for larger devices you have to turn them off to get a full charge (this might actually be so that smaller devices dont get surged out)

** I would personally suggest hooking this up through a surge protector, just in case **

Doesn't work right

I purchased this to be able to plug my Garmin Nuvi GPS into, since the Nuvi does not come with a wall charger, only a 12 auto plug. When I plug the Nuvi into it, the Nuvi operates erratically - like it does not quite know whether or not it's getting power. It supposedly is rated at 1 amp output, which is what Garmin says the Nuvi draws.
Update 4/8/10 - The seller was very willing to correct the situation. I came to the realization that although the product description advertised this unit as 1 amp, the item I was sent was only 500ma (i.e. not adequate to provide power for my 1 amp NUVI). The company offered to send me a replacement, which turned out to also be 500ma, so there was no improvement. The seller offered to refund my money, but I didn't bother (sice it was so cheap).

Not worth the money, pay a lil more to get better quality!

I bought this all excited that i could plug my mini-fridge/cooler into it since my mini fridge/cooler has a cigarette lighter type charger to make it work i was thinking this would be perfect to convert it over for in the house or in the front yard or garage. NOPE. Doesnt/Didn't work. Maybe for phone chargers or something but not for coolers or portable mini fridges. I recommend paying a lil extra money and getting a better name brand product that will actually be universal instead of for small charging items only (which it might no even work for small items like phones, i havent tried since i was so upset with it not working).

piss poor product that does not work

I ordered an adapter it did not work< I complained ,they responded , "don't worry we will send you another do not send it back." they sent me another a month later, it does not work either. A really good idea for a product so you can get double duty for equipment that you can only use from your car. But the product is useless, flat out does not work with any appliance or equipment. It would be extremely useful if the manufacturer would address the quality control issues on its products and/or specify item limitations or something. My only satisfaction is that they spent more money on postage than I did for the adapter. Wasted effort, useless.

... and especially if you are buying this in combination with the 12 VOLT ELECTRIC AIR PUMP w/GAUGE for Tires Bikes Cars Air Matresses by RAD Cycle Products. I don't know why these are being offered as a group - they do not work together. The DC converters do not offer nearly enough amperage for the pump. They MAY work for your phone charger (if by chance you've lost the USB charger(even in that case, it might be easier to just buy a new one vice sing this POS)). I would give it no (0) stars if I could.

I haven't had this product for long. But, I am very satisfied with the specs. It can take voltages from 100-240V AC and it has an output for 12V DC, 500mA. I plugged my COBY radio transmitter and the car adapter for my TomTom into it and both powered up just fine.

On a side note, it appears to be built in such a way that, if it broke down, a skilled engineer can easily take it apart and replace the bad components.

Not what it pretends to be

The technical specs claim the output is 12 VDC and the label in the photos shows 12 VDC, 500 mA. The product I received is labeled 13.5 VDC, 550-650 mA. Neither of these specs are near the truth. The actual load/output values observed from testing the three units I purchased are:
~ 5 ma 13.5 - 13.6 V
100 mA 13.2 - 13.3 V
200 mA 11.5 - 11.7 V
300 mA 8.3 - 8.5 V
400 mA 5.7 - 6.0 V
500 mA 4.0 - 4.3 V
So they may or may not work for charging a cell phone with a car charger cord, but they are useless as general purpose 12 VDC adapters. I am unfortunately used to marketing people taking liberties with specifications, but this is ridiculous. A more truthful spec would be: Open circuit voltage 13.5 VDC, short circuit current 550-650 mA, UNREGULATED.
