Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger
Customer Review: slightly bulky, but well-designed
Summary: 4 Stars
I was a little disappointed that the adapter is a little bigger than I was expecting, but it's very well-designed - the plug rotates, so it will fit well in many situations and not block the other plug in the wall socket. USB ports are a great addition here - I just leave this in my suitcase now.Customer Review: Great but beware
Summary: 4 Stars
Great product. I use it when traveling to charge two iphones and other devices. When plugging in two iphones via the USB connectors, the iphones will beep and blink endlessly until you unplug one of the iphones. I have solved this by turning off one of the iphones before plugging it in. A bit annoying at first, but a simple solution. The USB must not be providing enough power to charge and run two iphones at the same time. Otherwise, I love this device because it saves so much room in the suitcase. Customer Review: Works OK but not for international travel
Summary: 3 Stars
I initially got this Belkin charger thinking it would be useful for traveling, but it was not as compact as I had expected or hoped. It gets a lot of use at home though. Before buying, I was aware that it did not handle 220-240 volts, but you should keep this in mind if you are planning on traveling internationally. The USB outlets work as expected, capable of charging an iphone, ipod nano, a gps logger, and nexto extreme. I'd gladly give up one of the 3 prong outlets for a couple of more USB ports. A smaller size and support for 240v would have given it a couple of more stars.Customer Review: All i one great product

Bought this product for my sister the week it came out. Liked it so much i bought two, a little christmas present for myself. It makes a great travel companion, but in its day to day life it sits right next to my coffee pot in my kitchen charging a couple devicesCustomer Review: Perfect in a crowded airport or wifi spot
Summary: 5 Stars
Yes, this mini surge protector/dual usb charger is perfect in a small bathroom, kitchen and hotel room, but I have found it to be even more perfect in a crowded airport where one outlet is surrounded by electronic device users hovering around until a flight takes off, thereby freeing up an outlet or two. With this multiplier, you can enable three users to plug into one outlet and bring joy to two usb charging devices as their power is refreshed. I must admit that I didn't even realize this had a swivel plug until it was pointed out to me after I'd used it in public a few times. I'd purchased this in a combo pack with the Belkin swivel usb hub and didn't even take this out of the packaging until I headed out for an airplane trip a couple months ago. Ironically, I've found this to be more useful than the hub which isn't as sturdy and doesn't swivel very well for me. I now take this with me any time I head out with my laptop because I like the option of plugging in, particularly when I'm having a cup of coffee with dozens of others who also want to plug in and turn on. If anything happens to this one, I'll replace it pronto.
