Customer Review

First short something for style. The adapter operates in the pictures quite large and clunky, but it is not quite as bad when you see the adapter only once before him. The two ports are a bit further apart than other charging adapters, but provide for a bit more comfort when plugging and unplugging the USB cable.

In principle, the charger works as described, as far as I could test it. The two ports are wired differently and thus allow different devices to recognize the adapter as a charger correctly. My Samsung Galaxy Nexus for example detects only one of the ports as a charger and would invite the other port only 500 mA.

Unfortunately I have to return the item, because it interferes with radio reception in my car. How big is the disturbing influence, seems very individually by radio and car depend, as other users (in other chargers) have no interference. Those who have weak reception or störempfindliches Radio, maybe is not happy with this adapter.

I tested two more charging adapter, so that I can compare it.
