Customer Reviews

Important Note
I got this item for a long road trip and it performed perfectly until...

I plugged in my GPS and a portable DVD player. It shortly blew. When I say it blew I mean it got hot enough to melt the plastic inside the main male plug as well as the springs inside that hold the fuse was turned into a pool of melted metal. It was completely destroyed. Not to mention the smell of burning plastic lingering in the cabin of the car.

The lesson is that this unit can only handle a maximum load of 2.5 amps TOTAL. Before you buy check and make sure that the devices you are plugging into it do not exceed this rating. For me its the GPS thats the problem in drawing 2.1 amps by itself. I was ok at first because I was using it first with my GPS and the Scosche USB charger accessory which only draws .5 amps.

Overall I was satisfied with this product. I only wish they would have noted its maximum load rating in the product specs.

not conducive for Honda Accord 2005
The male portion of the power socket is not long enough for it to be easily employed in a Honda Accord 2005. And so I don't even bother using it. And it's too cheap for me to put forth the effort of returning it.

Works as advertised on a 2006 Ford Focus
I got this one after my previous (and cheaper) one has blown the fuse of my car lighter. I needed 2 connections so I could keep my GPS and a charger (either iphone or my car bluetooth) connected.

The item works as advertised. The item I received do not match the picture, which result in me lowering the rating. I did prefer the look of the one showed here, but since it works just the same, I decided to keep it.
