• excellent charger

  
  By A3LGCOLG79H4UO on 2007-02-13
  after returning a nonfunctioning charger to e-force city, I ordered the Zen charger and I am very pleased with it - a full charge in less than 2 hours! A strong reccomendation
  
  

• Does what it's supposed to

  
  By A1NXSMLJ69JU6P on 2007-06-07
  This is a good power adapter. You plug it in and it charges the Zen Vision in two hours or less. That's what it promises and that's what it does.
  
  

• Works, but lacked instructions

  
  By A252DMIM13A3K7 on 2007-08-24
  Charges really quickly; much easier to use than charging through the computer. No instructions, though. I found through trial and error that I need to have the player off and LOCKED before charging. Otherwise, plugging it in only turns on the player and actually uses the battery, but does not charge it. Oy.
  
  

• Creative Zen V Plus - Beware of Charger problem

  
  By A1W3TQF306DD9Z on 2007-05-16
  Two weeks ago, my RIO Carbon 5gb died after 2 ½ years of use. It wasn't a surprise, since I had dropped it on tile floors several times. It was a sad day, since I used my Carbon daily, in my travels around the world.
  
  The next day, I purchased a Sandisk Sansa 8 gb. I quickly found out that the Sansa did not have bookmarks, which made it unusable for me. I returned the Sansa and ordered a Creative Zen V Plus, based on PC World review from May 07.
  
  I received my Zen V Plus 2 days ago and found it to have all the features that I need, BUT today I determined a problem.
  
  I have several AC USB chargers and an auto lighter USB charger. NONE of them work with the Zen V Plus. After researching with Creative Labs and the WEB groups, I determined that Creative has added a proprietary feature to their chargers.
  
  All the MP3 players sold today come without an AC charger. This is sold as a feature, because you can charge your unit from the USB bus on your computer. What they don't tell you is that, it takes over twice as long to charge using a computer, and is not very convenient.
  
  BEWARE: If you buy a Zen V, and intend to charge it with either AC or in you auto, you will require a unit with compatibility.
  
  I just order mine, but not from Creative.
  
  Sorry Creative.

• Nice product

  
  By A58CQEOPUR4IB on 2007-08-07
  Nice product, nothing to write home about. The adapter is somewhat pricey. nevertheless, it allows you to charge without the computer and in half the time.

  This was the perfect purchase. My daughter's mp3 player no longer has to be charged using the computer.
  
  
• Quick Charger and Useful
  By A3VT6KQ2M1E7GW on 2007-08-12
  This item is very good at charging the unit in little time and you can also use it to power the unit while you are listening to music through either your stereo or watching a movie on tv. You get about 2 hours of battery life without having this adapter plugged in so I recommend this if you want to watch any type of movies or videos for extended periods of time. Overall a very useful product.
  
  
• Amazon's warehouse problem
  By A1GP86VRDRZ5PI on 2007-07-31
  I tried three times to get this item and struck out. The Warehouse had only adapters with Chinese electronic plugs. After the third time, I gave up. There is a disconnect between the nice customer service people in India and the warehouse in the U.S. so the customer service people could not help me get the correct item with a US plug.
  
  
• Handy Power Adapter
  By AF77AJ6GLWR4K on 2007-08-16
  The Creative Zen Power adapter makes recharging and use very convenient. No need to hook up to a CPU and I can play my Zen for a 12 hour shift without the battery dying. The Zen is fully charged at the end of the shift for the drive back home and the drive into work the next day! Couldn't live without it!
  
  
• Super fast charger
  By AAJO54VBC6K2X on 2007-09-11
  Trying to charge an mp3 player on a computer which does not have a hi speed usb port takes hours. With this charger I could charge the player in approximately 30-45 minutes. Understandably, there are many various chargers available, but the one fact that convinced me to purchase this charger was it works with Creative players. I really did not want to chance it with another manufacturer which may not have worked. Of course the beauty of a charger is it allows the player to be charged without the use of a computer.....

  This product works great. I tried a 3rd party charger from ebay that did not work with my vision M mp3 player.
  
  
• Well worth the price
  By A38UPARRPT50J1 on 2007-07-19
  I find charging my Zen play through my computer both time-consuming and cumbersome. The charger is much, much faster and more convenient. Well worth the small price.
  
  
• Works great
  By A35U6SDDGM7CL9 on 2007-08-01
  Works as advertised. Charges my Creative Zen in less than an hour. Much faster than using the USB cord and computer.
  
  
• JUST what I wanted
  By AC2MWQS2SIGTW on 2007-12-01
  This adaptor was perfect and it charged my Zen so quickly, and I really need that since I use it all the time. I am very happy with the item!!! It has easy instructions, maybe 4 steps max. So glad to have found such a great deal.
  
  
• Zen V+ Power Adapter
  By A3SWS3W89T4BXI on 2007-12-31
  A must have for the Zen V+. Works very well and much faster than the usb charger. SHOULD HAVE BEEN INCLUDED WITH THE ZEN V+. You should not have to buy this separate.
  
  
• nice product
  By A2Z3VHBGC9OKFB on 2008-01-07
  nice product, does what it advertises. Would have liked for it to be included with the mp3 player. Must have if traveling and cant access a computer.
  
  
• Works as advertised ... but documentation from Creative ...
  By A2Y42KB6SGZ49N on 2008-09-19
  ... is BAD !
  Nowhere I looked - when researching if I could use the adapter e.g. overseas -
  does it state the range of the input voltage for the adapter !
  This is the same on Creative's AND on Amazon's websites.
  I would expect this info as part of the specification.
  
  Answer - found on the hard to read mini label on the adapter :
  Input : 100 - 240 VAC 50-60 Hz, Max 0.4 A, Output : 5 VDC 2.4A
  
  
• No problems
  By A1G9O6TPWHFECD on 2007-03-20
  It dose what it is supposed to do. What more can i say about a charger.
  
  
• Creative Zen
  By A7TV7JLCF7B79 on 2007-07-12
  I love this adapter, it's nice to be able to power up anywhere now and not have to wait to get home and use the computer.
  
  
• Charger
  By AO10GXMEAGBOL on 2007-08-14
  Ummm...What's to say? It's works like a charger is supposed to work, which is always good.
  
  
• Perfect for my Zen player
  By A30AEEG7MGBB0L on 2007-12-16
  Sure makes charging my Zen player easier. Don't have to leave it connected to the computer, and seems to charge faster.
  
  
• Creative has a production problem
  By A23F19I5CJK1W0 on 2007-08-25
  I'm in the same boat as Iris (below). My adaptor came with a Chinese plug. I exchanged it, and the second one also came with a Chinese plug.
  
  
• it was good
  By AAPG9Y6RNPOK3 on 2007-10-07
  it worked for charging my zen . . . exactly what i needed it for
  
  
• Works as promised
  By A3I06W9XETJ43D on 2007-12-09
  The item does exactly what you would expect it to do. I have only had the plug for a month, but it appears to be rather durable and doesn't feel cheaply made.
  
  
• Good to have....
  By A1LLTZ2I28D3MV on 2008-01-18
  Very good product to have for faster charging and when a computer is not available for usb charging.
  
  
• creative charger works great
  By A3K4JWUZEVUJF0 on 2008-02-13
  when i first purchased my zen player i was disappointed by the amount of time it took to charge. after purchasing the charger i was quite impressed with it. however, i am still unhappy that i was required to buy it in the first place and at what i felt was a very high price for a little transformer.
  
  
• BEWARE!
  By A3DIB0ZVY82NP1 on 2008-04-21
  The adaptor I received was only good for use in China. However, Amazon was very good about allowing a return and refund. I was told they were restocking so maybe the new inventory will match the description, but my order did not.

  It works, but I now know I could have bought a similar power adapter at a cheaper price, a lot cheaper.
