Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I am a road warrior and I finally got tired of carrying around so many wall warts, chargers, and cables. No matter how hard I tried to stay organized, everything ended up a tangled mess in my bag.
Enter the MFUEL World PAK 120. Throwing up to 120 amps, this will supply more than enough juice to power anything you might want. It can power one high power device like a laptop, and one low power device like a cell phone / game system / camera what have you.
The supplied power pods can also be used as retractable usb or ethernet cables. Awesome!
This device is meant to be a direct competitor to other universal chargers such as the iGo. The biggest benifit of the MFUEL is that it comes with a huge assortment of tips. Thier literature says MFUEL can power 90% of portable devices, and I would go so far as to say that out of the box thier tip assortment does a good job of approaching this.
The biggest con I have found is tip availability for devices that weren't included in the box. The MFUEL direct website is totally worthless. Prior to purchasing this, I sent an email to customer service with several questions. It was never answered. Also not a good sign.
I decided to buy it anyway. After getting it I wanted tips for my Sirius Stiletto and my Nintendo DS. I called customer service, and was told that they had DS tips, but not in stock. No idea when I might be able to get one either, call back in a few months. Another bad sign. No tips for the Stiletto, and they didn't know if they had plans to make one or not.
Customer support did tell me that they had a new, updated website that they were waiting for sign off to put into production. They also told me that there had been some snafu's with thier email that they were working to resolve.
If MFUEL does a better job supporting this product by answering emails, fixing thier website, and making tips available for more esoteric devices I think the MFUEL is a no-brainer. Go buy an iGO or similar solution and you would have to invest a sizable chunk of money just to get the tip assortment that comes standard with the MFUEL.
I got around the lack of tips for the DS and Stiletto by hacking my own out of some old USB cables and a soldering iron. This probably won't be a good option for most users though.
One very nice upgrade to the MFUEL is a retractable power cable. I purchased Amazon ASIN B0009T035E. One less cable in my bag!
The only real problem I've had is that MFUEL can power my Dell D610, but not charge the battery. This isn't MFUEL's fault, it's Dell's. Certain Dell laptops use proprietary technology and can only charge via Dell branded charger. SHAME ON YOU DELL!
I have been very happy so far with the MFUEL. Once I've used it for a few months and MFUEL rolls out thier new website I will update this review if I have any new information.
