Digital camera reviews of LENMAR SPP-04 Power Port" 4 Outlet DC Power Socket (LENMAR SPP04)
Digital camera Review: Perfect Solution!
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this item because we have so many different "technological" things to plug into the car. It arrived just in time for a weekend trip out of state. It was perfect! We had the GPS, the Ipod, and 2 cell phone adapters plugged in and everything was powered at once! We use it all the time now!Digital camera Review: Plug Does Not Fit into Power Socket DON'T BUY THIS!!!!
Summary: 1 Stars
Please don't believe all of the positive reviews!! Received the item and tried to use it in my 2004 Honda Civic. The power plug became stuck in the lighter socket. I had to twist and pull very hard with assistance to remove it, almost damaging my vehicle. Even when plugged in, it did not work. Returning to Adorama, who at first was not going to pay for return shipping until I insisted on a defective product. "You must have bought the wrong size"...duh...these should be made to a standard specification. There is a small ring of plastic at the front of the plug that causes all of the trouble.Digital camera Review: Poor tolerances, would not connect, replaced 3 times
Summary: 1 Stars
In our both cars, a Mercedes and a Mazda, the drama with Lenmar's was of the same kind: Intermittent or no connection.
The reason in all cases (with Power Port 3 alike) was the plug itself, or rather its central pin. This pin is too short, done poorly or outright stuck. The spring inside the plug would not move the central pin out. In the (last Lenmar in this household, No. 3 replacement) not even graphite lube, and numerous rotations using pliers would loosen up the too tight pin in its hole. Completely unusable. We finally got from Office Depot one of theirs CAS-3USB ports, also "made in china" I must with regret say, but this device works like a charm, both 12V sockets and the USB outlet.
Lenmar Power Port is for trash bin. The same fate, which their rechargeable AA's also made in a record short time. This seems to be a "quality company of durable goods" of sorts. Buy lots, buy often, toss often.
The enthusiastic reviews of others suggest that maybe we got here in California some bad batch of these Power Port's. Hm.. good possible, sure, still speaks about the quality control at Lenmar. We will stay away from Lenmar, why to lose sanity?

This thing is so big and bulky it couldn't possibly fit nicely in ANY vehicle.Digital camera Review: Power Port works perfectly
Summary: 5 Stars
I was in need of a multi DC power socket and this was one I just selected that seems fair for the price. I have all 4 accessed and each one provides a solid connection for the accessories. I am using this predominantly outside in a homemade observatory for telescopes and could not be happier with the quality. Don't hesitate to pick this up if you are looking for a reasonably priced, quality power port.
