Digital camera reviews of Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger
Digital camera Review: A great product that could use a couple minor improvements
Summary: 4 Stars
This does what it says it's supposed to do. My only complaints are minor. First, it's a little larger than I expected, although if you are lugging a bunch of electronics around anyway, it shouldn't really be a problem to throw this in your bag also. Second, the slide-on cap that is supposed to keep the surge suppressor flush with the wall when plugged in doesn't actually contact the wall, so it doesn't really do anything. However, it seems to stay fully plugged in just fine without it. These two points are why I give it four starts overall.
On another note, this device is 110/120 volts only, although I knew this when I bought it so I didn't subtract any stars for this. I just wish there were a dual-voltage (110/220 volts) model for use overseas. All you would then need is an appropriate plug adapter, or maybe a dual-voltage model could also come with interchangeable plugs. I would gladly pay a little extra for these features.
Additionally, some electronics will not charge from the USB ports on this or other similar devices, but I chalk this up to a "problem" with the design of these other electronic devices rather than a flaw with this surge suppressor. For example, a friend's couple-year-old Sony Reader requires 5.2 volts to charge and won't charge from the USB ports on this device, although it will charge from a computer USB port. Another friend's iPad would not charge from the USB ports on this device either without an adapter that presumably stepped-up the voltage.
On the positive side, the plug swivels 360 degrees so that you can fit it in a variety of outlets with a variety of obstructions.
Overall, if you need something to protect 110/120 volt electronics and need to charge USB devices without a computer, this is a great product.
