I bought this product thinking the bad reviews were just over exagerated, the first time i plugged it in at work it blew the fuse on the plug socket, so I plugged it in at home and within 2 seconds it blew up. The back burst open exposing wires and black smoked poured out of it. the white plug was completely blackened. I had to switch the fuse box off so i could unplug it.
extremely dangerous and these should not be for sale.
If this happened when my i-pod was plugged in (thankfully it wasn't) that would be ruined as well.
If a child was around it could have been lethal.
Pay the money and get a decent one.
