The unit arrives in a clear package with the adapter on full view, protected by a tough plastic shell.

Sliding out the rear section we get access to a very attractive looking container which holds all the accessories supplied.

Inside there is a small, soft pouch which contains all the adapter heads as well as a manual and power lead.

The Innergie adapter is plain white and rather “Mac-like” in design. It is a very understated design with only the name of the company on the plastic shell.

Above we can see the simple two prong connector for the mains adapter unit. Simply slot in and turn on.

Flipping the unit over we can see the USB port for charging devices such as an iPad or iPhone and a little LED light which glows blue when turned on.

The lead above is the power adapter head which connects to a plethora of adapter sockets.

There are a total of nine ‘heads' included which offer support forvarious make of laptops.

Each of them is coded for specific manufacturers, which are listed below:

In operation the device does exactly what it says, we tested it with a Sony Vaio laptop as well as a Dell machine and it worked perfectly, replacing the company specific chargers without a hitch.

We also tested it with our iPod, iPhone and iPad and once again we ran into no issues. As a universal charger system Innergie have delivered a product which is painfree to set up … all you do is simply plug the device into a socket and hook it up to your devices for instant power and recharging capability. Please be aware that this unit does not support the Apple range of Macbook products.

KitGuru says: if you need a replacement charger or one that will handle a variety of tasks then the Innergie is a solid product at a reasonable price – around £80 in the UK.
