Review on BINZET 15V 3A Surface Connect to USB-C Charging Adapter, Compatible with Microsoft Surface Pro 7/6/5/4/3, Surface Laptop/Go/Book [Set of 2 Connectors] by Michael Welborn

Dangerous design flaw.

So far everything works as described. The only downside is the length of the adapter body. When unplugged, it's the same length as a full-size Surface Connect. Once the cable is connected, the cable sleeve increases its length and lengthens it even more. On a Surface Go, connecting with the cable facing up blocks the USB-C port on the Surface. When plugged in, the cable lies against the table, which prevents the device from standing securely. Your mileage may vary based on other Surface devices. Edit: After a few months one of the adapters mysteriously stopped working and got incredibly hot when I removed it for testing. This adapter no longer works, but what's worse, it shows the circuit is dangerously *shorted* and has no overcurrent protection - both are dangerous design flaws for sensitive equipment. I am canceling my previous review as I can no longer recommend this one.

Pros
  • Computer and accessories
Cons
  • So far so good
