PowerGen White 2.4-Amp (12 Watt) Dual USB Wall Charger w/Sviwal Plug Designed for Apple and Android Devices

Yes, this charger works, but is it worth burns and possibly setting your house on fire? I noticed after a while that the charger was extremely hot to the touch, this was only charging one device at a time (e.g. iPad or iPhone). I took my food thermometer probe and measured the temp at 120.4°F - this is an actual burn risk. I went here to review and notify other potential buyers, and was horrified by the photos of actual melted chargers. Quick scan of the reviews does not show that the manufacturer, seller, or Amazon has made any effort to rectify the situation, which makes this a rather scary liability situation. Caveat emptor.

What promise the product made, it delivers 90%. Not bad.Currently, I'm using Samsung Note 2 and S3, HTC One M7, LG G2X, and the Samsung Tablet 7.1. Side units would be a dock station with an old brick of a phone (VX6800).Charging USB cable: Media Bridge's cables, Samsung's original cables, and various PC shield cables USB2/USB3.All Android units have been updated to at least OS 4.3 (Jelly Bean while Note 2 and S3 is running on KitKat), with charging monitoring apps.** Single port charging **The NA (Non-Apple) port will charge all devices, Android, Pocket PC, or not. Charging the port by itself, with the range from 5% to 50%, or from 5% to 100%, the draw is the same: 1030mAH. The port, surprisingly, is certified and recognized by the picky Samsung Tablet 7.1. Most of the chargers I have from 2.1A to 4.3A, wall or car charger, they all not recognized by the Tablet for charging while it's on. Behold, the charger got recognized and charged while I'm using the it.The A (Apple) port, same charging rating for all devices above, minus the inability to be recognized by the Tablet for charging while it's on.** Dual ports charging **Two units are plugged together, and monitored at the same time. The charging rate fluctuate between 1030mAH, and at time, drops to 900mAH for the A port, while the NA port maintained at 1030mAH.** Charging rate, both single and dual ports, when the batteries were at: 5% to 50%, 10% to 60%, 20% to 70%, 50 to 80%, and even from 90% to 100%. Same rate reported like above.

The wall charger worked fine when I plugged my devices (iPhone and iPad) into the slot with an A on it... but even though some reviews and questions say that their Apple devices charged fine on the NA side, mine did NOT. It was really frustrating to not be able to charge the phone and iPad at the same time. I was using cords that I received with the devices, i.e. genuine Apple charging cables. There are a few things I liked about it like the folding prongs and the charging light, but the incompatibility with most of my devices was too frustrating. The NA port does work with my Kindle and my husband's PS4 controllers, so it seems to be a specific problem with Apple devices. I do see that NA stands for "non-Apple," but as many reviews and answers state, I was under the assumption that is was just not optimized for Apple products. I did not have any problems with the unit smoking or catching fire as others have mentioned, but I did not use it for very long. Eventually I ordered a different wall charger that could charge both my iPhone and my iPad at the same time.

Very dangerous item, do not buy. It is amazing to me that it has gotten so many great reviews which misleads potential buyers about this product. If you actually read the negative reviews, you will notice many people have experienced what I have, that this charger got extremely hot and melted my cable. It almost burned my finger when I went to touch the end of the cable. I have used the same regular standard outlet in my house with other chargers with same and different cables and never once had this problem which isolate this particular charger to be dangerous in my opinion. I have also read the response by the company explaining different reasons why this may happen but I was just charging my ipod air as usual. It is concerning to me that the company just talks about the possible reasons and about return policy, in fact, it should not be sold at all it people have issues with charger melting, burning smells, getting extremely hot, or melting the cable. I also read some reviewers requesting this item to be removed by Amazon a few years ago but Amazon seems to think it is okay to continue to sell this item. Are they just convinced that, even though many of us have complained, it will never cause any serious damage like actual burn, or a fire, or are they just waiting to see if that can actually happen, then you will react? By the way, the little insert that comes with the charger mentions nothing about the charger getting hot, no warning of any kind.

excellent product. works both on apple and android phones

not very powerful when compared to regular chargers from OEMs like Samsung & Apple.

It's very useful to have both USB ports on one device. Saves the extra stuff to drag around on business trips.

Good one!!
