The button spoils it, dies in about a month.

I really wanted to like this device. I needed an AC converter that could charge at least two Galaxy S9 devices quickly. That's less than 20 watts per device. This is specified as 200 watts. Well, when I connect fast chargers, this converter starts blinking as soon as I connect a phone. This means that it cannot charge the device or anything like that. Also, I was in such a rush that I didn't realize it had a button to turn it on. That means you need it CLOSE to your reach, ALWAYS. If you want to tune in and forget, again at a bad time. You have to always take it with you wherever it is, then press the button when it starts flashing, press it again to turn it off and press it again to turn it on and hope it works. It worked for about a month, but after that nothing works and won't charge without stopping blinking. waste of money. When it worked it was great, but the button killed it. There were times when I had to drive 3-5 hours so I plugged in the device and forgot to turn it on, I arrive at my destination and everything is dead. You may be thinking how can anyone forget, to push a button? Imagine having to lift this device off the floor of your car/truck every time you turn on the car to get in. It gets really annoying. If you're in a hurry, press the button and assume it's charging. Plug something in and it will blink, but you won't notice because you're looking down the road. They don't charge anything and that button is annoying and after a month it doesn't charge anything. I'm in my second month so my return window is gone. Basically useless now. and after a month nothing is charged. I'm in my second month so my return window is gone. Basically useless now. and after a month nothing is charged.
