Great charger for multiple devices
(5 out of 5) by xder345 on Oct 15, 2007 (Durham, NC)What can I say? This is a great replacement charger. I bought it because of the infamous Toshiba charger issue. The iGo comes with a variety of tips that happen to fit our Toshiba, Dell, and Thinkpad laptops. The DualPower feature is great because I can buy accessory tips for things like our iPods, PDAs, phones, etc...
This will make a GREAT vacation charger. It's a little on the expensive side, but well worth it if you have a lots of devices to charge.

I bought out of need and previous experience
(4 out of 5) by Sajid G. Mulla on Aug 1, 2008My Toshiba Satellite A135 S4527 notebook adapter died after a year of use from prior experience using the IGO ICE blue colored adapter on a Sony Vaio FXA 32 laptop I decided to purchase this laptop adapter.
The AC input wire is too big it looks like i'm plugging in a printer cable wire to get power to the laptop. However, this is an aesthetic issue I'm been using this for over a week and I am happy. The price was worth it since they bundled in the peripheral wire cable so you can power up an external device like a pda or a phone however you have to buy the adapters separately and they range from 5-10 dollars depending on where you purchase the adapters. It is nicely designed but I liked the previous ICE Blue design that is why I knocked off a star I wish they did not stop selling that adapter. They also were kind enough to bundle in a car charger plug so you can charge external devices inside your car.
The wire and plug was not available on the ICE blue adapter so you are truly getting a deal but I still do not like the AC input wire.
After 8 months of use I can say that this is a flawed product and a potential safety hazard. One of the pins on the adapter keeps sparking and it took out the notebook cord as well. If I can re-rate I would give it two stars only because contacting IGO support was very difficult as well. To the company's credit they gave me the newer model as a replacement. Buying a replacement cord for this model is not cheap if you do not believe me check out the website. I also can say that the tips come off very easily and the cords will wear out and come off. It looks like it has a tight fit but it doesn't.
The newer model also will not come with an auto-adapter to charge an external peripheral so that was one of the hidden benefits of this model. Also another benefit was a second charging port on the adapter for a peripheral which the newer model sadly lacks. Misspelling of Watts with three t's isn't boosting my confidence with the company either.

Where has this been all my life!
(5 out of 5) by Linda Boehme on Dec 18, 2007 (South Lake Tahoe, CA USA)Wonderful charger. No more searching for a specific charger. Fits many common household items with the attachment heads included. Works great in the car. Carrying case keeps everything together. This would make a great gift for someone who must travel for work or for a student living in a dorm. I'm neither and I use it all the time.
Solid Buy
(5 out of 5) by D-man on Dec 7, 2007The first one I received did not work at all, but Amazon was great and overnighted me a new one which hasn't given me any troubles. I use this with a Sony Vaio VGN-C140G and a Compaq Presario V5000. I have a number of iGo products and I think they're hard to beat in terms of long-term value and quality (they look sharp too). It may well be the last power adapter I ever have to buy considering it's doubtful laptops will need more juice in the future and hopefully iGo will keep up with the iTips.
