3 out of 5 stars USB a little misleading   May 8, 2008
Anthony L. Ciuffini (Staten Island, NY United States)

I purchased this surge protector for a great price, I found it online somewhere for $10. The thing is that this surge is a little misleading.

I have only gotten the USB ports to charge my ipod. It does not work with my PSP or with my Treo.

Its supposed to work with mobile phones and mp3 players and virtually any other USB charging device. My Treo is a mobile phone and it does not work. I tested the same cable with my mac and it charges fine, it just doesn't charge with the surge protector.

Its still a great product but it needs more info about it.

This unit is about 30% larger than I thought it would be. But for what it is, it's great! Was able to use the unit to charge my Zune!


5 out of 5 stars Great Portable Surge Protector   June 28, 2008

This is a great surge protector for travelers... it is compact, lightweight, and best of all can charge two USB devices. If I could change anything about it, I'd wish it could be a little bit smaller... but considering everything else good about this device, why complain? The plug rotates, too, so you can plug it into an outlet facing in any of four directions. After I saw this previewed, I held off on buying other similar products... it was worth the wait and I carry it with me whenever I travel.


2 out of 5 stars Far far too big to be useful   August 5, 2008

Belkin has missed the mark with this adaptor.

It simply is not "mini." At least, it is not mini as compared to other three outlet grounding adaptors. It is 4x the size and 4 the weight of a typical cheap (i.e. $3) three outlet grounded adaptor. This means that it cannot easily be dropped into a bag; you have to make room for it.

While it is surely is smaller than most surge suppressors, buyers only need something this small when traveling, and this is so much bigger than what it might replace that it is not likely to be brought along for the trip.

Belkin -- a company whose products I generally like -- clearly decided to make solid and sturdy product. The plastic is thick and strong. I have no doubt that the thing could even hold my weight, where I stand on it or even jump on it. But the trade off there is bulk, both in size and weight.

This is unfortunate because the product is a great idea. Between phones, MP3 players, bluetooth headsets and BlackBerries, there is quite a need for USB charging, especially on the road. Power outlets are usually in short supply in hotels and airports, so carrying this kind of device would be a good idea, if only it was easier to carry and forget about until needed.

This is a useful, versatile tool in a compact package--exactly the kind of gadget I like. It charged my BlackBerry fast and was easy to pack in my laptop case.
