Ultra-Mini USB Power Adapter/Charger - EU Plug (110~240V AC)
Available to buy on the DealExtreme website here:
When I bought this 5 weeks ago, I did a big mistake. Not because it's a bad charging adapter, rather because I didn't read the description well. I had overconfidence and though that it would work nice since it had a USB power out connection. When I tried to charge my iPod Touch, it didn't work. Fortunately I had luck and found out that it could charge my mobile phone. So I didn't lose any money. I tried this out with one mp3-player and a portable charger. I works with many things and devices, but iPods and iPhones, absolutely not.
The charger is really small and perfect for traveling. For those with kindles, mp3-players and other devices except Apple products, this could be a great option for your USB power adapter charging needs.
The charger is extremely short, only 7 cm long! I took and measured and it was actually shorter then 7cm. I once had a USB charging adapter for my iPod Touch that was 11cm. Maybe it doesn't seem like such a big difference. But shortening a charger by 4cm is pretty much.
The whole USB charger adapter has a nice black shining color, and it's very simply but smartly made! Elegantly shaped!
The USB connection is a bit worn, after some experimentation I did to it in the beginning. The USB connection is really the same as all the other USB charging adapters. I noticed that the USB entry is wide, so when you plug a USB cable into the connection it is barely noticed.
Pros:
- Ultra small and ultra short. It can fit almost anywhere and everywhere. You just have to remember to take i with you, and not forget where you place it.
- It super simple to use, just plug in and connect.
- Nice shape of the USB charger adapter and very nice black shining color.
- Very hard to get problems with this. There are no loose parts that might fall or be worn out and get broken. Even the top part of the charger is glued strongly together.
- Extremely cheap, but still of good quality and practical use!
Cons
- The USB connection is wide and when you try to connect a USB cable to the USB connection it's barely noticeable if it's connected! The same opposite problem is with the power plugs. They are too close to each other. So you almost want notice when it's inside the power outlet.
- When it arrives at you, it isn't in any packaging. Just inside the shipping plastic bag.
- I'm worried about how long the charger will function, and if it will last for a good while or if it's needed to buy more of these, every now and then.
- Isn't compatible with Apple iDevices while it is an USB charger adapter.
It's an EU power plug connection. Works OK even though the two power pins are too close to each other.
When an USB cable is connected then it looks like this. Still very small! If you can notice how the USB cable capsizes slightly, that's because of the wide USB connection opening.
Total Conclusion
This USB charger adapter is super cheap, ultra thin, ultra small, and great for charging Mp3-players, kindles, portable chargers and other diverse devices like mobile phones. For those who need a practical, small and average USB charger adapter, but that is still cheap and easy to use, must definitely buy one of these. Even though you maybe do a big mistake and regret of buying this later, it's only $1.99, so the loss isn't that big.
Recommended for Mp3s, Kindles and mobile phones, but not for iPods, iPhones and iPads.
