Lenmar AC Adapter for up to Four USB Powered Devices

User Ratings and Reviews

5 Stars plenty of power
This is just what I’d hoped. It charges my BlackBerry, iPhone, and Bluetooth headset all at once from only one outlet. I’m going to buy another one for travel.

5 Stars Great for travel
Fortunately, mobile devices are finally converging on the USB 5v power standard. Now, if only the world could agree on an electrical outlet standard. This well-made unit addresses both sides of the power adapter challenge. Don’t think you’ll ever need four USB power ports? At first that’s what I thought, too. Now I am already traveling with THREE.

The Lenmar adapter was a godsend on a recent trip overseas. It worked like a charm.

One word of warning: When traveling, one often needs to charge everything overnight. Make sure you bring enough USB cables so all your gadgets can charge at once. The four USB ports are useless without cables.

5 Stars Excellent for Ipod touch 2nd gen AND Zen Vision M
I love this adapter. Definitely buy this over any other charger. Works well with the IPOD touch 2nd gen with no problems. You can use the ipod while charging with no issues. I also have an old Zen vision M player that I had bought a USB charger for long ago and I no longer need that accessory now because this charger works just as well. I’m tempted to find every USB chargeable thing in my apt to see if this is compatible (ie the PS3 controller).

I would definitely recommend this item. The price is more reasonable than Apple’s adapters. It does the same thing and it has the add on bonus of several outlet options for traveling. I haven’t used them yet but I bet it’ll be handy this summer when I’m abroad!

4 Stars Works great
I bought this device to make a charging station for all my battery powered devices. It’s the only product I could find that charges more than two USB devices simultaneously, and it works perfectly for this purpose. My only complaint is that, for what it is, I find it fantastically expensive. Single port USB chargers can be had for $2 or $3 on eBay. Why should a four port USB charger cost almost 10X as much as a single port charger? I would have happily paid $10; paying over $20 made me pause a long time.

5 Stars wonderful usb power
I have a few usb powered electronics, like skype phone and archos404. It is not convenient to always charge them with computer usb ports. So I ordered this and now I could get upto four small things charged at the same time. Sweet this travel adapter has a few international plug adapters so you could travel the world no worrying about the short of power. Highly recommend it!

5 Stars Saves money and the environment. IGO products are brilliant.
IGO products will save you money by only replacing the tips and not the whole power source. Saves space when traveling. Very convenient – these work perfectly. I have the power source for the home and the car & many tips. I love it & think it is a brilliant idea.

1 Star DOES NOT FIT KINDLE 2
THIS TIP DOES NOT FIT THE KINDLE 2.

ORDERED THIS BEFORE THE UPGRADE AND IT DOES NOT FIT THE KINDLE THAT WAS SENT TO ME RECENTLY.

5 Stars Not for Kindle 2
This product is great for the KINDLE 1. It is not for the KINDLE 2.

3 Stars Fine device, but NOT for Kindle 2
I love the iGo system, because if I am away from home I can recharge my cell phone, Palm organizer, iPod, and Kindle with just one small power supply unit and four small exchangeable tips. HOWEVER, this tip is for the Kindle 1, so anyone who is buying a Kindle now will have to wait for the iGo people to provide a new power tip for the Kindle 2. On the other hand, since the Kindle 2 is charged with a USB cord that can be attached either to a small power plug or to a USB slot in one’s computer, many people may prefer to get an extra power supply from Amazon, rather than an iGo tip if they want to have a spare charging system (because with the USB connection, one can charge the Kindle 2 by connecting it with the laptop computer).

5 Stars GREAT for My Kindle 1
I keep my IGo in my suitcaseand no longer worry that when I go somewhere I will forget my charger for my Kindle. This works great!
