iGo PS00124-0001 90-Watt Wall Max Universal Charger (Black) Broke after 2 days – Katherine Krass – Toronto, Canada
Do not buy this product – it’s expensive and not worth it! I bought mine because I forgot my charger at home. It completely broke after 2 days and never worked again!
When I found myself out of town without the correct Kindle charger on a trip last spring I bought the relatively inexpensive iGo wall charger and several tips. Recently I looked for something for travel, preferably with a European plug, that could also charge my netbook computer. I called iGo several times -I agree that they are not good at answering the phone or returning calls. When I did talk to someone he was very helpful. He told me that I could not use my existing (A – style) tips with the netbook charger that I was interested in. He suggested the Max series, so I ordered this. The Max series has a separate cable that runs off the one used to power a computer and this smaller cable has the proper end for the A tips.

The brick on this Max system is quite a bit heavier than the brick that came with my netbook. I have learned that netbooks use less power than full-sized laptop computers. As the point of my purchasing this package was to decrease my travel weight, I was disappointed with this. However, it can also be used on our laptops, unlike the iGo netbook charger. My original netbook brick needs a current converter to run on 220V, but the iGo one only needs a plug adapter (it can handle 100-240V), so the net weight will probably be about the same when using this internationally.

The main complaint I have about this package is that it did not show which tips were included and it did not include the tip I needed for my netbook (but the ones we need for our laptops were included). I had to order the tip from iGo and I don’t know if they will ship it out in time for me to get it (I tried calling, but was not able to talk to anyone. Their web site has said it was “released for shipping” since the moment I ordered it).

The tips get stuck on the charger pretty hard. I am concerned that changing them too many times will cause something to break. The tips included (and you can see what one you would need on [...]) are:
102
104
201 through 207
209
