About the Startup Describe your product in 3 words. Multi device charger. How did you come up with the idea for this product? Year-over-year consumers have come to expect their digital devices to have greater functionality and increase performance while being packaged in smaller and sleeker form factors. Nowhere is this trend more prevalent than with today’s laptops and Ultrabooks. It's not uncommon to find many weighing in at less than 2 pounds. While there's been a great deal of focus on these new generation laptops, there's been very little advancement in the power adapters that accompany them. They're often bulky and unwieldy, adding as much as 25 - 40% more in size and weight to carry. Even worse, most are only good for one thing — charging just a laptop. What makes your product special? Enter the Zolt Laptop Charger Plus — smaller, lighter, smarter. Zolt has been reimagined from the ground up with patented proprietary power technology and custom designed components. Utilizing Zolt’s EPC (efficient power conversion) technology, one Zolt is able to power a laptop and two additional portable devices simultaneously. With Zolt, users can now travel with a single charger and avoid lugging heavy laptop power bricks and multiple device chargers. What has been the best part of your startup experience? Even for a company like Zolt, with a combined 50+ years of experience in power solutions, making an ultra compact, ultra light, multi-device power adapter was no small task. It’s not just a matter of shrinking components — it was a complete re-imagination of the laptop power adapter from the ground up. It required taking a new approach to power electronics circuitry, out-of-the-box mechanical design and relentless pursuit of beautiful industrial design. We think our efforts paid off in the end — we think you’ll feel the same.

It worked, for 29 days... Then caught fire... Scared the living hell out of me.
Oh my god, this is the most unsafe charger yet. How is this thing even UL listed? I was happily charging away on my Thinkpad, then my laptop just turned off, suddenly. Then I hear a buzzing sound from the charger. It looks like there is a fireworks show going on inside it, smoke pouring out, a mini fire is happening in my room. My GFCI then tripped, scared the living hell out of me. This product needs to be pulled off the market RIGHT NOW. No wonder they went out of business. If I didn't have a GFCI outlet in my room, who knows what could have happened. Thank god my laptop survived, or I would have been out 1200$.My room is filled with smoke, my hands smells like burnt plastic.Glad it blew up within the return period. I can actually get my money back.

Works as advertised
I've never seen a product with more mixed reviews than this one. I don't know if it's a batch issue but it seems it either works like a charm or is totally useless. I've been using it for nearly a month now, and so far I'm in the former camp. To give it a durability test, I keep it at work and plugged in 24/7 connected to my Toshiba PC. It's constantly charging, gets a little warm but not hot, no whining noise. From time to time I charge my iPhone and/or iPad at the same time, and it charges pretty quickly. I've taken it on the road and it worked in Germany, the Netherlands, Russia and Japan with no problem. It helped reduce the electronic accessories I have to carry when travelling and if you want to lighten your load, now is a good time to try as it's sold at $72 right now. I can only hope I won't come back in a month and report it died on me...

QC needs some work here...mine doesn't work as intended.
I wanted to love it. I really did. I waited until it was in stock to order so I wouldn't forget about it.At first, it seemed great. Nice packaging, cute litle bag. Easy organization for the swappable tips. Cool beans. Tested it briefly with two different laptops before leaving for a trip and it worked just fine. Loved the idea of only needing one charger for my laptop and two phones and tablet that I usually take with me (techie if you haven't guessed).LEFT for the trip and went to use it. Ah well...hmm. Yep, it charges my laptop as expected. Plug my phone in...nothing. Scratch my head a bit and get a different USB cable. Scratch my head more because that doesn't work either. Unplug the laptop, no help. Plug into the other USB port...bingo, it works.Plug laptop back in, all good. Plug other phone in using the "good" port...nothing. Change USB ports, works again.And so on. In short, one randonly selected USB port won't charge what's plugged into it. Sometimes neither will work and I'm stuck unplugging or re-plugging in various orders until I can charge my phone.Why one star? Well, fanciness aside this has one function: charge my devices. It doesn't. I don't care how small, pretty, convenient or inexpensive (which it isn't) something is. If it doesn't serve it's fundamental function, it's of no use. Beyond that, I also expect the tiny pins on the swappable tips to eventually get bent.Back to carrying two chargers...

Works as advertized
I've heard some negative reviews on this little charger, but I decided to give it a shot. Happy I did.I travel relatively frequently so I'm always looking for good ways to optimize space management in my luggage & carry on bags. This little Zolt does the trick. I've ditched the chargers for my HP laptop, iPad, & iPhone. This little device will simultaneously charge all three just fine. I think that it is a little faster to charge all these devices separately w/ their manufacturer-supplied chargers, but not to a noticeable extent. When you factor in how compact the Zolt is, it is well worth it.One tip: Be sure the wall outlet you plug the Zolt into can carry the full load of all the devices plugged into it. Sometimes those cheesy desk plugs @ even the nicest hotels are crap.

Falls Short
Good concept but falls short. If you look at the ad photo where it is plugged into an electrical strip - you have to have an electrical strip close by. Most offices and conference rooms I use don't have this and I either have to plug my laptop in on the floor or into the wall - this messes up the Zolt because the cord is too short and then having the outlets for your other devices ends up on the floor or wall. So, bring another extension cord or just plug your other devices into your laptop and just carry the laptop charger. My laptop charger is about the same size and weight as the Zolt so the Zolt didn't help me with the Laptop. The other ad photo shows the Zolt in a man's pocket - great. Where's the cord? True, the cord is thinner, lighter, and more flexible than my Laptop cord - but not worth paying a hundred bucks if I still need an extension cord in my back pocket. This needs to be more like the Laptop chargers where there is a cord on each side of the device. If this device had two cords - one going into the laptop and one going into the electrical outlet - it would be perfect. For now - I'm disappointed and returned it.

Small, light and convenient
Certainly more convenient than my Lenovo chager... Also replaces my iPhone and iPad charger all in 1. If you can buy on sale, worth it.
