Summary: Handy Dandy!
Comment: This is a neat little accessory for traveling. Some have complained about the size but that is not a fair complaint! The thing had three outlets and could not have been made any smaller. The plug in swivels around completely which is really nice. I have had these that the weight of the cords would pull it out of the wall but not this one. Being able to recharge usb devices without turning on the computer is also a great addition.
Great purchase!

Summary: USB Hub and charging station
Comment: I use this item to keep two PS3 controllers charged while not being used. The unit is very sturdy and should last as long or longer then the Playstation 3. Highly recommended.

Summary: USB not as universal as expected
Comment: Decent unit, seems well made but definitely a few disappointments.
Amazon has 3 copies of this item listed as 3 separate products. The reviews are not consolidated.
The unit is significantly larger than expected. My fault for not observing the listed dimensions, but the pictures give the impression that the device is smaller than it really is.
The swivel plug is nice, but it sticks out from the socket farther than I'd like. Plugging something into the bottom plug can torque the device since the plug has an inch or so of space between it and the wall. So two hands are really needed when plugging items into the device.
The only reason I purchased this item was for the USB ports. I have two normal items plugged into the wall socket but wanted to recharge my PS3 controllers without having to waste electricity running the PS3 itself. Connect the controller to this charger via the USB cable that came with the PS3, no dice. Switched to the thinner, charge only USB cable that came with the charger. That did not work either. I did have my RAZR cell phone handy which uses mini USB for charging. Connected it to the charger with the PS3 USB cable. Did not work. Connected the phone with the charge only USB cable, and it did recharge the phone.
I'd guess that the PS3 is proprietary, but the controller will charge off my laptop. Also makes no sense why a full USB cable would not work. Just because the extra pinouts are wired for data shouldn't affect charging.
The USB spec is for 5V and up to 500 mA of power. I don't know the draw of the PS3 controller, but since it will charge off a PC I'm guessing that the problem is with this charger. Just be aware that USB is not fully compatible.

Summary: Great portable surge protector!
Comment: This is a wonderful product-- 3 plug surge protector and 2 USB charger. I use it with my macbook pro, and IBM Thinkbook, Ipod-- anything. Once nice feature is that the unit swivels so that the orientation of the plug does not create a problem. I recommend it for anyone!!

Summary: Excellent Travel Accessory
Comment: I purchased this to replace the bulky travel adapters that I use for a multitude of gadgets and it fits that role very well. Although it is a little larger than expected, it has still reduced the amount of bulk that I carry. Charges my iPhone very well using the standard cable and I have purchased a few other usb cables for charging as well so devices like my Kindle and PSP can both charge from it as well. It's also nice to have the extra outlets in a hotel room that is stingy with such things. I would like to see USB ports for charging added to more devices in th future.

Protect your computer and charge your USB mobile devices while on the go.Hotel rooms and airport terminals often lack the number of outlets that today's business traveler needs. This design allows for power to three devices and features two powered USB outlets - perfect for charging mobile phones, PDAs and MP3 players.
