it depends on the devices you want to charge. my iphone can charge on a 5 watt charger. but my ipad needs a 10 watt charger. the ipad will charge over 5 watts but it takes a lot longer. also, the rating is BETWEEN the two ports, so if you want to charge two iPhones together it will take twice as long over 5 watts. if y…

That means it will furnish a TOTAL of 2.1 amps. For example, if you only use one port, it will provide 2.1A of current to that port; if you use both ports and one port draws 1.0 amp, there will only be 1.1 amp available at the other port. I hope this helps.
This will "work" with 220 volts (i.e. Japan, Asian, elsewhere) in terms of providing power. But the surge protection will *not* be effective, even if the protected light goes on. This just isn't built to handle a 220 volt surge (if you read the manual, it tells you that the warranty is void if you use at 220 volts an…

This just isn't built to handle a 220 volt surge (if you read the manual, it tells you that the warranty is void if you use at 220 volts and the power surge guaranty does not apply). So perfectly fine to use to get multiple outlets and USB charging, just don't count on having surge protection (if that is important to you).

The 2.4 Amp modelsjth cradle does NOT swivel. People need to read the question. Only the other model swivels. Actually the one with the cradle while made wider horizontally is designed to plug into a vertical outlet...wtf
I just got mine and I can confirm it will output 240V when plugged into a 220-240V supply. I haven't checked the USB output but I suspect it should be working fine. Not sure how well it will hold up if you plug in 3 high wattage items into it thou. I wonder if it is labelled 110V only due to some UL certification requ…

No, I thought the item was far too bulky to carry while travelling. In addition, you would need an international conversion plug and transformer as most overseas locations use 220 volts. Most travel converters say that they will handle upto 1800 watts, but they have only one plug outlet. I doubt that they would supp…

Most travel converters say that they will handle upto 1800 watts, but they have only one plug outlet. I doubt that they would supply enough amperage to power three plugs and two USB connectors if you connected the Belkin surge protector into it. I had issues with this accepting power in Atlanta Hartsfield airport--not sure about the 180+ countries using 220 v.

I have one of each, and the 1 amp one will not charge my iPad if anything else is plugged into it. The 2.1 amp will charge more devices at the same time. I have had three laptop computers and a samsung tablet all plugged in and all will charge. I also have successfully charged an iPad, iPhone, and Macbook Pro all at th…

I also have successfully charged an iPad, iPhone, and Macbook Pro all at the same time with the 2.1 amp model. My 1 amp is about 10 years old. Belkin first offered this model, but later on started making the 2.1 amp model when devices needing more amps came to market (i.e. iPad)

Yes... You can evaluate surge protectors by comparing their performance ratings. * UL 1449 Voltage Protection Rating (VPR) - VPR is a measure of the surge protector's let-through voltage, which is the maximum voltage a surge protector will let through to connected devices. The lower the VPR number, the better the protection.
