Callpod Chargepod

1. CNET

Review Credibility: Very Good One of Kent German's biggest complaints is that the Chargepod ships with only a single device, adapter and purchasers have to buy additional ones. His review is dated, but CNET reviews are important, and nothing about the Chargepod has changed. He ranks it "excellent," likes its simple design and says it "does its job well, but the convenience comes at a high price."

Review Credibility: Good Jason Tomczak says the Chargepod is "a great little accessory," eliminating messy clutter and saving space. It's a little expensive, he admits. However, "the real value becomes evident when you are able to charge all your devices from one single location."

Review Credibility: Fair Roman Loyola's "bottom line" is representative of what most other experts have to say about the Chargepod. "Road Warriors and supergeeks … will find the Chargepod handy," he says, "The price tag will make everyone think twice."

Review Credibility: Fair "The folks at Callpod have done a good job engineering a charging system for the tech-carrying road warrior," concludes Dave Rees. He appreciates the fact that it takes up so little space in its travel pouch and that it is made with "quality construction and materials." The AC adapter is "huge by today's standards" though, and he thinks the Chargepod is overpriced.

Review Credibility: Fair Its "good build quality and design" and heptagonal design are some of the reasons Michael Kwan gives the Chargepod an 8.5 out of 10 rating. He cautions that no 12V car adapter ships with the device and it's "slightly pricier than it should be."

Review Credibility: Fair There is "no need to have a wall full of plugs," says a BerryReview.com reviewer named "Summer." The primary benefit of this review is Summer's unusual observation that she "can't put the charger on a nightstand as all the blue LEDs are really bright."
