Visited idea and bought this x3 port USB charger and it has been brilliant. It charges everything fast from iPhone to Samsung tablets.
I know it is not a deal but for the fact I can rapidly charge three devices at the same time it is priceless, especially when my three daughters want iPod, iPad charging yesterday.

I was in IKEA Glasgow yesterday and they had these priced at £4.75. Big stack of them just before the lighting section.
4x ports, with a max 3.4 amps per port (or 2 amps per port when all 4 ports are in use).

these fully charges 2 xperia z's and an ipad 3rd gen over night fully. if using to charge 1 device they ok for quick charging but when all 3 used you need an overnight charge.

Cheers, been looking to buy a multiple USB charger and something that could charge faster than my current adapters.
Also got a £5 voucher so know where I'm off to tomorrow :smiley:

Given the shape of UK plugs & US sockets
I would say the 220v/110v was the least of your worries.

I know I didn't damage it, and when I bought it, no I didn't check every pack.
It was a big order and they are f*cking heavy so I didn't check every edge and every corner of every pack by swinging them around in the warehouse like a tw*t.
I've used Homebase, B&Q and Ikea for this kind of stuff, never a problem at B&Q, Homebase are OK and Ikea meh!
The only companies worse for customer service than Ikea are Royal Mail and Sainsburys.
You pay your money and take your choice, I've shopped at Waitrose and Amazon a lot and I've never had a problem that wasn't resolved but their customer service never lived up to their reputation neither did Ikea.
Now Orange (before EE), Currys and Argos who get regularly slagged off have always been a dream to deal with!

I believe the output current would be divided by however many devices are connected simultaneously. So if all 3 ports are in use, I'd imagine it would be 3400mA/ 3 = 1133.33mA which would result in slow charging. Anything above 2000mA generally does a good job at charging fast in my experience.

pretty sue mine was the same last week in Glasgow.
I was just looking at this thinking "who would need one of these?"
Then i remembered last night in bed,my 2 phones were running low then my tablet!
So for that reason im voting hot :smiley:

Robust and well engineered inside, plus it will get recalled and you'll get another for free if it goes wrong. HOT!

So you purchased a damaged pack, then took it back for a refund? Obviously if you had returned it straight away as damaged, then they would have exchanged/refunded you straight away. I presume you kept it for a while then took a batch of them back for a refund? Not surprising that they charged you for the damage.
I would expect a purchaser to check stock, no matter how large the order, to ensure that there are no defective items. Most online stores have a policy stating that any defective items on delivery should be notified within 24-48 hours.
I have used Ikea for many items and have had nothing but stellar after sales support from them.

not really no,this is from Ikea so they pass quality control and safety standards unlike non brand junk you buy from China..but still not worth £7.they would be ok for maybe £4-£5 max.

Voted hot but I got a 4 port USB plug from B&M for £2.99 a couple weeks back, might be worth a look

Three £1.25 chargers = £3.75.
Three way mains adapter = £2.99.
Total = £6.74.
I'd choose one of these.

I had a bought the office quality laminate flooring from IKEA a year ago, bought too many packs on purpose as knew I could return the unwanted, done this many times at B&Q.
One pack had damage on the corner, as I had bought it as one of about 40 packs, total order was £550.
Returns desk refused to give a full refund as they accused me of damaging it and took off about £5.50 from the refund of about £35.
If you have a problem with ikea don't expect good service, they argued over £5.50 on a £550 spend, I vowed not to use them again.
Now I have a delamination issue on a couple of boards that have a 15 year guarantee, shots stuff at a low price, good luck with your charger...

Thank you for the kind offer, as with many things on HUKD it would have been an impulse buy, which retrospectively I think I will survive without, particularly as it has been pointed out that with all 3 ports in use (which would be my typical situation) the output current is only going to be just over 1A per port which is what most standard / lower cost USB chargers output. So nothing gained overall, (other than some freed up 13A outlets perhaps) But thanks again anyway.

Would rather stick to a 4 port Anker, this is just generic Chinese in an IKEA packet.
I have used IKEA but they also have a lot of product recalls as they know some of their stuff is tat.

Agree with some of your points, but not with regards to Anker gear. I have a charger and a battery pack that have gone back more times than I care to remember. In fairness to them, they always send me a new item, but it's far from ideal.

Somehow I feel happier being able to remove the charger when not in use. Is this silly?

You can get white 1M USB to micro USB leads for just £1.45 from Home Bargains, which give a nice tight fit in the micro USB socket.

Well you are fortunate to always have three empty conveniently placed sockets to plug 'em into. Many don't. This means you can charge up to three devices overnight (when time is not of the essence) from one socket - essential in the average hotel room - or a quick charge (if the device supports it) for one or two.
Excellent arrangement - take some heat.

ever since I bought a charger off eBay a few years ago and it blew itself to melted plastic pieces I'm very careful now .I have one of these IKEA and it works well and will be getting more when I can be bothered to go back to IKEA ,or most likely when the other half says we're going.

Not true I'm afraid. Think you misread the sign, £4.75 is the price for the extension cord with the same range name, directly underneath. This charger is £7, I just bought one.

Could almost say the same of Anker. I have 2 of their 40W 4 port smart chargers, and if they aren't faulty (had to return both), they pretty much charge at the same rate as a normal 4 port charger. At least they have a decent customer service and returns policy through Amazon.

these are great but only work on 240V. if you travel to America they don't work on 110V bit annoyed.
notavalidaddress

Based on the numbers above I think you would get about 1.13 Amps per port if fully loaded.

How quick does it really charger 3 devices connected to it, thats the most important question me think? :smiley:
rok263 to rasdonny
2 Jun 162#22
3.4A Max output shared over the 3 ports, so a little over 1.1A per port with all 3 ports in use, so not that fast for some devices, tablets etc. that can optimally charge at 2A or greater.

1.25 in primark for 1 port usb, very good quality too.. £7? I'll pass thanks!

I can vouch for this being a great quality charger and charges stuff pretty quick. Had mine since autumn. Not sure its a great deal in terms of price but its from a quality brand and not some dodgy 99p import on ebay.
And yes to the question above, it does have the 3 ports on the bottom.
