 Great charger. |

| I usually stay away from Belkin products, but this thing looks and works great. USB charging works well with our BlackBerry, iPod and Motorola phones. The plug can be rotated 360 degrees, which is a great plus. |
Great portable surge protector & Accessory charger

| Works as advertised. Easy to throw in a bag and have multiple outlets surge protected. Lightweight and the swivel feature helps in tight situations. The charger works well too with a USB cable. |
Bulky, but still half the size of a standard surge protector

As an occasional business traveler, packing a surge protector is one of my frequent annoyances. They fit fine in my luggage, but not in my laptop bag, and I still have to carry chargers for my cell phone, phone earpiece, and iPod.
The Belkin 3OUT is the nearly perfect solution to this problem. It's about half the length of a traditional surge protector, and fits nicely in my laptop bag. It also allows me to carry two standard USB cords and charge my smaller mobile equipment. And the rotating plug base makes it easy to plug in and not interfere with other items using an adjacent socket.
Other reviews have rightly noted that it's a little bulky. The width and length are fine; it's the depth of the unit that makes it unwieldy -- it's 2 inches thick, plus another 1ΒΌ inch for the plug and its base. But that's a minimal annoyance to get the portability, surge protection, and USB features.
Highly recommended for anyone who travels with their electronics. |
Road-worthy for the travelling consultant...

While some people have commented about the term "mini" being subjective, rest assured that this device is not really any larger than if you took a normal surge protector and cut it off at three outlets. There's a small bit of overhead for the two USB plugs but that's about it. This device has earned a spot in my bag and follows me all over the country on travel; it charges my phone and MP3 player at the same time just fine.
What people should be aware of is that just because their phone uses a USB interconnect, either regular size or mini, does not mean that they necessarily conform to USB specifications. I've seen some phones and MP3 players use USB connectors but come with a charger that puts out 1.5A or more, well outside of the 500mA USB specification. What's my point? This product does what it says - it charges up to two USB devices at the same time; individual results will depend on whether or not your device(s) comply to the USB specification or simply use the connection for convenience. :)
Yet even if your device comes with a high current charger, many devices allow for charging with a computer's USB port - meaning that they must be rated to only draw upwards of 500mA. If your device complies with that, chances are you're going to be 100% happy with this device - I know I am! |

| I always carry all these power adapters and there is never enough plugs in hotel rooms. This handy device takes care of all that. It is small and convenient. You can charge your iPod, iPhone or other USB powered device without having to carry another charger. I love mine, I am sure you will to. |
