USB Charger Plug Syncwire 4-Port Wall Charger with UK EU US International Travel Adaptor (Interchangeable) - Lifetime Guarantee Series - 6.8A/34W for Apple iPhone iPad, Samsung Galaxy, Smartphone, Tablet, Power Bank - White [UL Certification] People reviews

People reviews
We all have power hungry mobile, (actually phones,tablets, surveillance detection devices, and defibs are quite cheap to run powerwise), but we can get a bit clogged with chargers, power leads and USB cables. This gadget is my current fave as I can charge up to 4 of my gizmos at the same time using only 1, yes 1, power outlet. I recently took it on holiday to the good old US of A, where most hotel rooms have limited power outlets. As this bit of kit has multi country adaptors, it was perfect for topping up my phone, tablets, action cam, electonic bug detector and DSLR concurrently, without the hassle of unplugging he bedside lamps, air con or life support units. This one is particularly good as it has 2 levels of output for different rates of charge. A blue indicator lamp let's me know when it's working.

The SynceWire charger is a dual socket USB wall charger.

The contents of the package included:
• The charger
• 2 interchangeable plug heads - UK,EU
( US plug head is not detachable, look at the pictures )

Using the charger is simple - slot on the correct plug head for the country socket you're using (as mentioned, it's supplied with a UK plug head), plug it into the wall and start charging your USB devices. It's a smart charger so will output the maximum that the connected device requires and will turn off automatically when the device is charged.

This charger is very useful for a few reasons:
• two ports can output up to 2.4A, so can rapidly charge devices that support it and the other two ports output 1A
• Supplied with four interchangeable plug heads, so can be used worldwide

I really like this charger. It feels solidly made and I've had no problems charging any of my devices with it - iPhone 6, iPad Air, various USB power banks and Bluetooth speakers and a Pebble watch (which sometimes causes problems with smart chargers due to its charging mechanism). Due to the high output, my devices that supported it (in particular the iPhone), all charged quickly.

My ereader charger is like this where I can change from UK 3 pin plug to EU 2 pin plug and loved the idea of getting a usb charger like this for more than one item for our trips abroad. It makes it easier to just carry the one instead of one for every item we charge abroad.

The amount of things we charge in one night takes up a lot of sockets and in one room we did not have enough, this sorted out that problem and is a real socket saver or space saver.

It has 2 x 1A sockets for normal things like an ereader and 2 x 2.4A sockets for iphones and ipads. I charged my ereader and Android phone as it was the same charge time, but using less sockets. I also charged my ipad and ereader with no problems.

The usb cables fitted in nice and tight so wiggle room which shows good quality. It feels nice and looks nice. My husband preferred his as it is lower down on his socket, whereas I preferred this as it wasn't as stuck out on the socket with having the the usb slots on the top.

It comes well packed and is covered with a plastic film to ensure it doesnt get scratched on its way to you and is a nice shiny pristine look on arrival. It is easy to use and easy to change over the plug ends from UK to EU, just slides out from the connecting pins.

It has safety features and comes with a lifetime warranty and with you being able to use this abroad as well as in the UK makes this a great charger.

I was sent a sample to test out and review.

Very well boxed item, the plug adapters fit on easily and don't add much bulk.
At first I was a little unsure of the ports facing upwards when it's plugged into a wall socket as some cables get damaged from being bent over like in the picture, it turned out not to be a problem because all the places it's being used are extension sockets that are either vertical so the USB ports were facing sideways, or flat on the floor. The lifetime warranty was a nice bonus. I'll probably pick more of these up in the future.

One of the best, if not the BEST, chargers i ever had. Compact, stable output. Tested with Anker lightning cable and charged Ipad 4 much better than original Apple charger (12W) with either apple or Anker cable. First ordered charger delivered slightly lower output (10.5W) and after contacting customer service they delivered immediately a replacement which indeed is working as advertised. Therefore I ordered another one (Black Friday deal) to have it in my travel bag as i travel a lot in EU.

I was originally looking for a replacement for the somewhat excessive number of USB device charges I have accumulated when I found the Sync-Wire which would double up as a four port travel charger.




The first thing I noticed was that Sync-Wire had taken the time to respond to questions on Amazon; a rare thing these days and it shows a commitment to the product.

The charger arrives neatly packed in a small box with the relevant clip on plug adapters for UK, USA (this one is built in) & Europe; the UK & Europe clip on and off very easily and stay in place when in use. It is Applesque in design and it is clear that thought has gone into making this a good quality product.


The charger itself is reassuring solid and well built and in use takes up only a little more space than the average ‘plug’ style charger. I found that it charges everything I have thrown at it (I often leave things on charge overnight) without any problems and easily as quickly as any of my other chargers (including device specific chargers). For me to be able to replace four separate chargers with one has made a lot of space on my extension cord.

I am very happy with this charger and feel it was well worth the money I spent on it and I would recommend it over similar chargers.

Arrived in the UK with the wrong converters and couldn't charged our electronics----OH NO! A catastrophe!
Amazon Prime UK to the rescue-- this arrived the next day! We plugged in all our devices and wereveryhappy campers from there in.
When we arrived back in the states it was an extremely simple task to shift to the outlets here.
Save the box so you keep the pieces together. This is going on all our trips from now on.
