Foldable Plug
The AC prongs fold into slots in the rugged white plastic case, protecting them from bending and damage, and making for simple storage of the charger.
iClever IC TC02 Charger Review: Operates Silently
No buzzing, humming, whistling, and only very small frying sounds are heard while this is plugged in and charging a device.
Low RFI and EMI.
Little, if any, interference to AM radio was observed.
Just the Right Size
The case is large enough to grasp easily, but not so big that it covers the second receptacle in a 2-receptacle outlet. Compact design, for sure, but nor is the iClever charger too small to for handling with certainty.

iClever IC TC02 Charger Review: Ports Are Electrically Equal
Since both ports are capable of delivering the full 2.4 Amp USB current, you needn’t concern yourself with which port is the correct one to use when powering particular mobile devices. See next item for more details.
High Current USB on Both Ports at the Same Time
Provides up to 2.4 amps of USB charging current (12 watts per port. 24 watts in total). We often charge our Samsung Galaxy Tab Pro SM-T900 (very large tablet computer) with this dual port, full USB power accessory. We’ve also successfully charged iPads, iPods, numerous smart phones, and Kindle Fire HDX tablets with this nightlight / charger combo adapter.
Good Power Output Quality
Voltage regulation appears excellent over the entire range of drawn currents. Holds very steady at 5 volts output under both no-load as well as full-load conditions.
Cool Operation
This iClever wall charger warms a bit while charging. But never does it get too hot to handle. When charging smaller mobile devices such as iPhones and portable media players, this power adapter barely heats at all.

iClever IC TC02 Charger Review: Problems, Cons, Disadvantages, and Limitations
No Charge Cables Included
Indeed, not all USB charge cables will carry the maximum current available via the IC-TC02. You must use cords designated as high-current charge or high-current charge / data / sync, in order to obtain the most rapid charging from this iClever wall charger. So, given that this current level is at present, a kind of USB specialty, it would be helpful if the adapter included a high current USB cable, say a micro USB or lightning charge cable. However, given the low price of this charger, we certainly do not mind providing our own cables.
Indoor Use Only
Keep this charger away from moist locations and never allow rain to fall on it.

Charging devices nearly every night with the IC-TC02 dual USB wall charger by iClever, has never left us in the lurch. We never woke up the next morning to find that our phones had not charged overnight. Devices always charged quickly and fully, and lasted the full time per charge, as documented in their users guides. We’re pleased with how well this dual charger performs. Yet it costs so little. Thanks to this unit, we never order stock charger replacements for our mobile devices anymore. This is a well-designed and well-constructed USB appliance, and so, we’d rate it at 99 out of 100.
