Classic Design, yes the Edwardians loved their USB sockets.

These still get me a little worried, do they constantly have the transformer running inside them? Meaning it would be throwing money away like leaving a normal charger plugged in 24/7?

They only had single socket
Thanks. Should be fine for overnight charging of a tablet and a phone, or even two tablets then (if it doesn't set fire to the house, no idea how stringent LAP's specifications are on the built in charging circuitry.
still can't understand why these are 4-5x more expensive than the regular sockets? costs them pennies to integrate the usb charging function.

people buy them at that price so we will sell them at that price! millions of the things get sold n no real complaints about price even when not on offer so can't be too bad

It would be helpful to list mah.. is it 1A or a fast charger that outputs 2A or more?

If it outputs 2.1A, then that is equivalent to 2100mA, which can only ever charge at a rate of 2100mAh.
I think I'd be more concerned with having a power supply that I couldn't unplug when going on holiday, hopefully this isn't some rubbish Chinese product, but you never know, in the last thread for one of these someone posted an article showing just how many of these bought from shops, are not safe.
