12-Volt Dual Socket Adapter With Dual USB Ports

 

I am looking for a 12-Volt Dual Socket Adapter with Dual USB Ports. I did pick up one from Wal-Mart. I think it is Bell brand, it it looks pretty cheap. Anyway, so far, the best I have found is from Wagan. I am just wondering if anybody has used their devices and if they are good quality or are they cheap? The first URL shows the USB "now offers 2.1A USB output as we move forward with the increase use of tablets
and e-readers!" That might lead me to believe that I should choose this one. Or does anybody here have a suggestion for a better one?

I bought a 12V travel mug from Wagan. It worked for about a week. They sent me another one. I still use it.

FWIW, to support the Nexus 7 tablet that I just acquired, I picked up a charger with dual USB outlets, one of which provides 2.1 amps output. It also has an outlet into which a standard cigarette lighter power plug can be plugged. Additional details are at:

It seems to work well, but I've only had it for a few weeks, so I have no long-term experience with it.

Tom,

Thank you so much for your reply. That is the one I have now, but now I need TWO 12 volt outlets, so I am basically looking for one like that with TWO outlets. I now some are built pretty cheaply, but I think the Tom Tom one is a bit better built. Hopefully the Wagan 2438 is also well built.

Oops

My apologies.

In your initial post I zeroed in on the "Dual USB outlets" and tuned out the "Dual 12 volt outlets". Mea culpa.
