Quality product, excellent post-sale support
I don't have and don't plan to have any Apple (iPhone/iPad/iPod) devices, but I bought this charger because the description says, "Simultaneous, full-speed charging." Unfortunately, that's only accurate if (a) one of the two devices is an Apple device or (b) the max charging rate on one or both devices is only 0.5A. I bought this because I wanted to charge two Nexus 7 tablets at something close to full speed (knowing at best I'd get 1.8A each since the max output is 3.6A, but when I tried it out I was getting less than 0.5A on the "Apple" port (despite what the description and many reviews say). When I looked at the paperwork that came with it, there was a table for charging rates for the two ports, where much to my disappointment I discovered that the rate for "Android phones" and "Other devices" was listed at a measly 0.5A despite the port supposedly putting out 2.4A, which apparently only applies to iPads. iPhones are limited to 1A on either port. I've posted a scan of the table in the customer images section. On the plus side, the build quality is excellent and the customer support after the sale was phenomenal. If I were trying to charge both an Apple and an Android product at the same time, this would likely be an awesome product. Bottom line is that although this didn't meet my needs and expectations, as long as you know what you're getting you should be quite happy with this. I'm taking off a star for the inaccurate/incomplete product description, but if they can get it updated (and let me know about it) I'll give that star back. Hoping this helps someone else make the right choice! UPDATE 5 Jan 2015: This product has been updated since my initial review, and the new PowerIQ technology eliminates the need to label the ports. The older version I reviewed didn't have the PowerIQ feature. Adding the fifth star for the new functionality and updated description.
