Only had this for a little over a week now, but it appears to be a solid splitter. The long cord provides the length necessary to power back seat devices from the dashboard panel. I have powered two portable DVD players, an iPhone (via USB port) and a GPS on it simultaneously and have seen no issues so far. Both the housing and extension cord appear rugged and sturdy. Port caps are fixed to the housing, so there are not "pieces/parts" to lose or misplace. Highly recommended.

I bought this to replace the Vision 3-way adapter which fell apart after just a few weeks of use. As soon as this one arrived, I knew it would be different. This is not cheap plastic and gimmicky blue LEDs. This feels like an appliance, not a gadget. It's solid and heavy, not particularly pretty, and has a serious power cord with an easy-access fuse right in the plug. I'm using it to power and charge a GPS, an FM transmitter, a Bluetooth headset, and a smart phone. Everything works perfectly. This unit seems well-insulated, too; the FM transmitter gets much cleaner sound when plugged into this than it ever did in my old splitter.One star off for putting the USB port in the back. When installed inside the cubby in my dashboard, the back is not accessible at all. It's not a big deal for me, because I just put a little USB adapter in one of the lighter ports, but it's a dumb design. One other note: I didn't use the mounting plate (the spot is tight enough that it doesn't need it) but the included screws look like they're way too short for the job. A few times pushing and pulling on plugs, they would rip right out of whatever you had screwed them into. So, if you plan to mount this with screws, I recommend buying better ones.
All-in-all, I'm very satisfied.

I got this so I can plug in more than 1 thing and to not have cords running up the center of the dash. Works fine, just wish it had more mounting options. There is a plate that snaps on the back which can be mounted using provided double sided tape or 4 very small screws. The USB port is on the bottom so if you are mounting it very low make sure there is enough clearance for the cord to plug in and curve back upward.Honest reviews on 5 in 1 Car Charger - 4 port 12V DC Auto Socket Duplicator Plus USB
This car charger has surpassed by expectations. First off, it has a rugged build, with thick wires and strong connections. At the cigar plug, it has a mini fuse that can be easily removed and changed. This is a huge advantage over other models that have tube fuses in the plastic case that require disassembling delicate plastic parts just to change a fuse. The cigar plug also has strong clips to help hold it in place and prevent a poor connection that can cause a short circuit.The plastic housing feels tough and durable. It also featured an insulated port that allows the use of a cigarette lighter. I personally do not smoke, but am relieved to see that this company took into consideration a port that is fire rated for the heat from the coil. All the metal ports are strong and I have yet to come across a cigar plug that fit poorly into the unit. Finally, the best part is the USB port. So many devices rely on it, its a great feature to help keep the cigar plug ports open.
I would strongly recommend this product. It may be slightly more expensive than other brands, but it is worth the value. Buy the cheap ones and expect to replace it shortly after, or you could spend the extra few dollars and get a better, more electrically safe product, that will save you money by not having to replace it.
