Unfortunately, the description for this product incorrectly states that it has a USB power port. We are trying to get Amazon to correct that. If you are in need of a universal adapter with a USB power port, try the PowerLine 0900-77 which is a 1300ma Universal Adapter with USB Power Port. It also has over twice the power capability of this adapter if you have higher demand devices to connect. If you only need USB power, then the PowerLine musicPower 0900-71 is an ideal solution and provides 2 USB power ports that can be used at the same time.

Bought 3 at this great price.
Pros:
1. Verified with a multimeter that the voltage is very accurate.
2. Used it on two of my Philips Mp3 CD players – plays excellently. I didn’t hear any unfiltered buzz sound with earphones – so the filtering is good. It could, however, have been adequate filtering inside my mp3 cd player. I can’t tell.
3. Replaced my current cable modem power adapter (which is the non-switched power adapter, big, heavy and mildly hot when in use, and its output voltage is 17volts without load than the labeled 12volts). My modem works great and the power adapter is cool (not even mildly warm).
At this price, it’s a great product for replacing lost/broken power adapters. Also saves energy/$$$ for non-switched adapters for long duration use.
As a rule of thumb, at $0.10/kwh electricity price, a 1 watt non-switched adapter plugged in 24 hours a day for one year will cost you exactly $1 per year. A typical non-switched power adapters has no-load power consumption (energy waste) of 5-10 watts . That would cost you $5-10 to have it plugged in for one year.
For my cable modem, which is plugged in almost 18 hours a day, consumes 12w when measured with a Kill-a-watt device, energy savings in a year and a half would pay for the adapter itself. Not to mention it would not make the room hotter.
Cons: input is 120v only. It would be much useful to be a 100-240v input. I strongly recommend add this feature. It would cost so little but making the adapter many times more useful for traveling.

The ac adapter serves its need. It’s compact and light. However, it doesn’t have the USB port as described by Amazon. The 600ma comes in handy as I have tried a 300ma model that won’t power up my infrared device trash can. The storage on the side is a nice touch to store all of the unused tips. It’s too bad that it doesn’t have the USB port.

We ended up not needing this for the item we bought it for, but kept it anyway because its just great to have around. Can power just about anything that has this type of AC adapter.

I needed a power adapter for a portable CD player that I used at work w/ speakers. I wanted to get it cheaply. This fit the bill, and has worked without problems. I simply selected the voltage (which was indicated right on my player – it should be printed on most electronic items, so don’t guess) and picked which plug fit.
