Digital camera reviews of Belkin Mini Surge 3 Outlet Wall Mount with USB Charger
Digital camera Review: Gets the job done and saves some outlets!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love having the two USB ports to charge my iPhone and iPod. It keeps me from having to use Apple USB adapters and taking up two pronged outlets that I need for other things. It's not quite as "mini" as you might think, but it's still small and you could surely travel with it if you wanted to (although you very well could still need a travel adapter.)Digital camera Review: Good Product - Does just what it's supposed to
Summary: 5 Stars
This not only provides surge protected outlets, it allows me to charge my MP3 player without my computer. I'm very happy with it.Digital camera Review: Good for travel or at home
Summary: 5 Stars
Good for travel or at home, so you don't have to charge with your computer.Digital camera Review: Good for what it is designed to do
Summary: 4 Stars
I own this product (was a gift to me from my spouse). Anyhow, it works great for the regular plugs. The thing about USB is there are different types, and some items overclock USB. It will not charge an overclocking device. Other than that, it works well for charging my cell phone through the USB charger. Everything else I own does the thing (proprietary enabling) of overclocking their product so that the USB charger cannot recognize the device.
This happens on computers a bit. If you buy a Saitek keyboard, it overclocks the USB, so only a Saitek mouse will work with it. That is not the only brand that does this, but an example.
So, items that are proprietary (game systems, etc) would probably not work charging from this charger. Mine don't.
Digital camera Review: Good quality but way too big/bulky to be billed as a travel charger
Summary: 3 Stars
I had this until I left it in a hotel somewhere. It is good, solid quality. Probably good for surge suppression. However, it's quite big & bulky for traveling. If size isn't important to you, I'd recommend it...otherwise, go with something smaller.
