Tablet 2.1A Rapid Charger

I ordered this charger to replace an original Amazon short cord with charger which would no longer stay tight in the usb connection on my Kindle 8 HD. The cord I replaced had become very loose and I had to run it up through the camera lens opening on my protective case and only pull through enough of the cord to ensure that I could plug it in. Because it was a short cord, when I was charging at night while reading, the wall plug got hot enough to almost burn me, even when I plugged it directly into the wall, but I usually had to plug it in to either a surge protector or an extension cord that was in turn plugged into the surge protector. This charger arrived on time, and was exactly as described. I plugged it into my surge protector at my bedside, and because the cord is 6.5 feet, I don't need an extension cord, which takes away the risk of setting my bed on fire, although the plug in doesn't get hot. It charges my Kindle faster than the original cord and charger plug that came with my Kindle. At the time I got disgusted with the cord I was using and ordered this one, it was taking about 6 hours to completely charge my device. With this charger, I am getting charges during the day while I'm using the Kindle much faster. When I started writing this review, I was at 36%. In the few minutes it has taken me to write this, I am up to 43%. I can get a full charge from less than 20% to 100% in a few hours. One thing that is different from the chargers provided by Amazon when you purchase a Kindle is that the adapter and charging cord are one piece, which means that if you want to charge your device with a car charger or if you need to transfer data via USB, you will have to purchase a separate micro USB cord. I am extremely happy with this charger. It is the best I've ever had and charges faster than anything I've tried.

Real happy with this purchase, thanks to all the reviews here. My old charger plug had some more wear and tear, the wire covering started peeling off, so it was time for a new one. I am happy with what I saw, the quality of the plug looks sturdy and durable, especially the USB part that plugs into my Kindle Fire HD, it's much better made than my previous plug that cost twice as much. Good charging times, as expected, the long cord is a super bonus. I expect this one to go the distance. I also like the shape of the plug, my previous one was a large square unit, it took up two plug outlets if I plugged it into the top plug. This one, with the design that juts out to the side, this is no longer an issue. TO summarize, nice design, nice quality, long cord, great charge, Thumbs up.

I thought my kindle was dying on me, took forever to charge up. Purchased this charger as an extra, plugged kindle into it while I was reading, it charged to 100 per cent while in use! Let kindle run down to 5 percent, in less than an hour fully charged. Will be buying more of these. Note: Adding to my original rating..... Will still give these chargers 5s. I had to replace one, only because 2 year old pulled a kindle off it as gently (not) as a toddler will. I use these to charge 4 different kindles. Gen 3, 2 Gen 7s (all 7" hd), 8" hd and a kindle reader. The chargers work with all of them, all charge relatively quickly. My oldest, the Generation 3, will charge from dead to 100% within an hour; if it's got at least 5% will charge fully within an hour while I am using it. Chargers range from several months old to several weeks. Will see how long they hold up. Great multi use charger for me.

I bought this so I wouldn't have to recharge my Kindle through my computer. It works quite well - fully charges it overnight. Long enough that it can be plugged into the wall and I can sit a few feet away in a chair and still use the Kindle while it's charging. Only thing I would change is I'd prefer the green light on the device would go out when the Kindle is fully charged. Not a deal breaker - just a suggestion for future models. Quite happy with the device!

This is a replacement for the original Kindle Fire charger, which stopped working after 18 months. Power output information printed on the device reads 2.1 amps. We have used the charger for both the original Kindle Fire and the original Nexus 7, which came with a 2.1 amp charger. It provides a faster charge than the original Kindle charger. We even used it several times to charge a cheap LG 220 phone that normally uses about a 0.5 amp charger. No problems so far after one month use on all three devices. Perhaps someone with more electronics expertise and specific device circuitry knowledge can comment on the use of a charger with higher potential output than that originally supplied. Finally, no special expertise is needed to FIVE STAR rate the 6.5 foot cord - we love the added flexibility it provides for use while charging!

This really does recharge my kindle fire a lot faster than the white charger set up I was originally using. It gets fully charged in a few hours instead taking all night. I like the longer cord since it now reaches to my night table and when I'm done with the kindle for the night, I can plug it into the charger without getting out of bed. The USB prong that attaches to the kindle was slightly bent when it arrived and did not go fully into the kindle. I was afraid it would break off if I bent it back, but I was able to straighten it out and it's fine now. UPDATE - I've had this charger for 4 months now and last night it broke. The prong that plugs into the kindle separated into 2 pieces when I tried to remove it from the kindle. Fortunately, I was able to remove the segment that was left in the kindle. And in the interest of full disclosure, I originally wrote a review because the company offered to send me a second charger for free if I wrote a review. Although there was no indication getting the free charger was contingent on posting a favorable review, I had no problem doing so because at that time the charger was working as promised.

Best charger I've ever used. It doesn't get hot at all. It charges the device very quickly. I've also used it for my Kindle in my Android phone. But the best and most excellent feature of this charger is the long six foot cord. Why honor at these companies that sell these massively expensive phones put such a small cord on them I will never know. I can still use my phone because of the long cord, lying on the couch or sitting in a chair. The other charges with the short cords don't allow me to pull a phone anywhere near me while I'm charging them. The price was excellent on top of everything. I would highly recommend this product again.

I had to order another charger for my fire tablet. Last one I had got an error message on tablet about low power and moisture. Replaced with this one , and tablet charging again. Saved me a new tablet replacement for now. Nice long cord and blue light on wall plug is so cool. GREAT.
