kishank Member Since: Nov 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Weeks	Powermonkey Solar charger Strengths: Many attachments. Almost fits anything Weaknesses: Too many Summary: I have not tested the solar part of it as such, but still even with the home charger it works and solves the purpose well. great for travel across countries but has to be careful with too many attachments as we may loose it. But it looks too expensive in the market. 0% of People (0/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.

sorceror Member Since: Jul 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 2 Days	Cool Product Strengths: Flexibility Weaknesses: many attachments to lose Summary: Cool product comes in a nice pouch. Manual is kind of novel the way it folds out but can get annoying. Lots of attachments make it flexible but they seem easy to lose also. May not want this around kids. Attaches to Ipod nicely. 0% of People (0/1) found this review helpful. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

atar Member Since: Sep 2005 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 1 Months	Good but solar charging is weak Strengths: Can charge different device, compact, Weaknesses: Pricy, solar charging takes long time Summary: I bought this charger from buy.com and hoped it can eliminate the needs to carry different chargers for my cell phone, mp3 and gps when I travel. This product serve that purpose well, at least for me, since it comes with several adapters allowing me to plug in all my electronic stuff. But I am not quite happy with its solar power charging. It takes really long time to charge the battery. The manual says something like 18 hours. And it must be with direct sunlight. Otherwise, its charging time seems to be forever. I understand the solar panel is not big, so the charging current from sunlight might be very small. But if the solar part doesn't work well. Maybe sticking with a non-solar version is a better choice given the big price gap. Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate. There are no comments for this review.

yelena_bekkerman Member Since: Feb 2006 View Member's: Reviews Product Experience: 30 Days	A bit pricy but very handy device. Samsung cell users beware Strengths: Great craftwork; charges from USB, power outlet and solar battery; compact Weaknesses: Connector for Samsungs cell NOT compatible with phones A, C, D, E, X series; connectors should have an easy-to-open box; need more connectors Summary: First thing that grabbed my attention was the perfect quality of the craftsman job which contrasts with cheap quality of China / Asia electronic products on US market. Very good job, indeed The downsides are: 1. There was no suitable charger for my Samsung e635 cell. I guess I could have purchased it separately, but for the money I paid it should have been included. There was a charger for Samsung but did not fit the cell. Go figure 2. The connectors come with a plastic push-to close-rip-your fingers-to-open clear plastic box. Should have had an easy organizer/box for them Other then that, tried to charge my iPod and Toshiba Gigabit player from USB and power outlets and it did a good job. Have not tried the solar battery yet, but don’t anticipate issues. So far, no complains on its performance Was this review helpful or unhelpful for you? Report this as inappropriate.
