Not built very sturdy, but works as advertised.
I'm thrilled at the idea of recharging Alkaline batteries.  I have a toddler!  Unfortunately this guy isn't well made.  The springs that are used to hold the batteries in aren't strong enough.  When charging multiple batteries, this is especially problematic as one won't make proper electrical contact and is likely to either fail to charge or to leak. Back in the old days of the over-priced Radio Shack chargers, those springs were so strong I could barely get the batteries into the units.  One of their few redeeming qualities.  One of the charging bays stopped working within a week.  I kept it, though, since the others performed fine.  My unit finally failed after a few months, but it had a rough life. I'm going to try a different brand charger next time.
