Review: Not what I expected

I was surprised when I received this item because I was expecting an attached cord.  The USB wire that came with my Kindle Fire plugs right into it, and comkpletely charges my Kindle in about 3 hours. Although I can still charge it by having it plugged into the USB port on my laptop, or using the old style charger, it just takes longer - typically 10 to 12 hours, but it does charge.  I'm keeping the PowerFast charger handy so I don't have to wait so long.  The good thing is that you can still use the device while it is charging - it just slows down the rate at which it is charging while you use it.
