Amazon.com: Customer reviews: Amazon 9W Official OEM USB Charger and Power Adapter for Fire Tablets, Kindle eReaders, and Echo Dot

Top positive review

Had to buy this to plug a Echo Dot I had laying around - who knew!!

February 14, 2019

You're just like any other USB wire to a USB charger, you can mix and match them without a problem. I got schooled quickly. Are use the random USB plug for my echo and it would not pick up the signal from Amazon. I tried and tried and tried. Not until I called Amazon to find out why it wasn't working was I told that you actually need a specific charger power adapter for fire tablets Kindle e-reader and Echo Dots. The plug in the wall is where the signal meets Amazon. Very interesting. I'll never look at another USB charger the same again. I hope this review is helpful to you

My kindle fire wasn’t charging and after talking to support they sent me this. It fixed the problem completely however I think it’s really stupid how you need this $20 plug to charge the kindle. I got it for free but still I had to go several days before I had normal use of my tablet back. The support person said it was created because of the issue with the kindles not charging however if that’s the case I feel like they should have started including them with the fires when you buy them.

I really like the fire tablet a lot

The item came as expected. I ordered the charger because the one that came with my fire tablet got lost.
I really like the fire tablet a lot. It was fast to charge and very easy to use. But it starting taking a lot longer
To charge so when i researched, the reason given was it needed the charger it came with or one like it. So I
Ordered one. The one I'm reviewing to be exact. Well it still doesn't charge any faster. So I could've just used
The generic charger i had been using.

THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN BUYING A NEW ALEXA OR HAVE HER UP & RUNNING AGAIN

February 22, 2019

Verified Purchase

I was having wifi problems and Alexa wouldn't connect. After following all suggested steps repeatedly I must have removed this plug part of the unit too many times and it either shorted or gave up working. A very nice gentleman at Amazon suggested I try this new connection -if it worked everything would be fine, if not just return it . He was right it got Alexa up and running in no time and I'm a happy customer. I saw that this part was on sale again and purchased another one as I have 3 echo dots and should anything happen I have another backup.
I highly recomment you give this a try it can keep the items you love up and running.

if you need this buy it. It is Definitely worth it.

It works! Charges quickly! Purchased for my 7" Amazon fire tablet after losing the original charger. It was costly when I included the chord advertised to go with this adapter. But it's worth it when I consider the longevity of my fire tablet battery. The charger I was using was for a Samsung phone. However whenever I used it for my fire tablet the adapter would heat up, not to mention it took forever to charge. So I became concerned about what damage this charger could do to the battery since the two were not compatible. This charged my tablet without over heating and charged in 45-50 minutes.

Seems to cause more problems than it fixes

I've been having charging problems with my Kindle eReader. Admittedly it's 4 years old but I believe that it should have
lasted longer than this. I even bought another Amazon charger hoping to fix the problems but it got worse. I've had this
one about a week and it can not charge the device even if left on for 12 hours or more ( have left it on for 24 hours but
couldn't get a full charge ). Just out of curiosity I plugged in my cell phone's charger and within 15 minutes the eReader was fully charged and has stayed above 85% ever since, even with spending 4-6 hours reading and having the
wifi connection active. Doesn't this say something about the Amazon chargers?

This Amazon 9w charger and power adapter along with the 10 foot nylon braided high speed charging cables solved my problem of keeping my Kindle charged. When you leave the Kindle plugged in while in use, it barely loses any charge. I highly recommend this product.

and our echo dot is working great again.

My son lost my original charger so I started using a charger we use for our phones. Our echo dot started acting up. Sometimes it wouldn't play, it would turn off, it wouldn't respond to requests, etc. After doing some research on it before tossing it out, I found out that there's something about these chargers compared to a regular one -- something or other about the power, watts, or something that I can't remember. So I went ahead and ordered this one, and our echo dot is working great again.

Fast charge for iPhone and iPad too!

Apple used to offer a 10w charger for the iPad, but the only ones you can buy from them as a separate item are 5w. This is 9w, and charges a phone or iPad almost twice as fast. A search of the web (and comments from Apple a few years ago) say this is safe and will not harm the battery. On those times when I’m down to 5% power, it’s a relief to be able to get a decent charge on the phone in a short time. Good show. I paid for this product.

This is the one you want for you Kindle Fire

You can really see the difference between a low power charger and this one. I also bought the heavy weight 6' charging cable. My 10" Fire charges right up with this, even if you are still watching movies. Nothing compares to it. I think I ended up ruining the battery on my last one by using low powered chargers and cheap cables.
