Belkin BZ103050vTVL Mini Surge Protector/Dual USB Charger

Well this is not a compact item but for what it does it would be difficult to make it smaller. I have found that people at airports are more than willing to allow you to plug in for the chance to get surge protection.

Three plug outlet surge protectors are hard to find. I've used many Belkin products in the past and have never had one fail to provide top service. This one handled my HD TV, HD black box and DVD/VCR player perfectly. Can't go wrong with Belkin.

The product so far has lived up to it's description. I do agree with another reviewer, that it was larger than expected. I got this unit because of the extra outlets (difficult enought to find one in a hotel room) and USB charger ports. The USB ports alone will come in handy charging my Mp3 player and other gadgets. It has a new home in my suitcase rather than my backpack and will be used during each trip.

Not sure what the deal is with the USB but it is tempermental (or doesn't put out enough power)... charges lots of little things but not iphones so for me it is of limited utility.

I'm disappointed with the product.. it's billed for traveling and charging motorola phones, among others. First of all it's WAY TOO HEAVY to carry around traveling considering the weight and size limitations that are being placed by airlines.

As for charging my Razr phone.. when I plug it in it turns the phone on, but does NOT charge it. I purposely let my phone run down and plugged it in overnight and while it did turn on, it did not charge the battery.

I think it misses out on both of it's main advertised claims.. good for traveling and charging motorola phones.
