Rating: - buyer beware
I bought not one, but two of these. Initially, these worked as described. I bought a new shuffle and had charged it probably 3 times, then on the 4th time, it fried my shuffle - there was no indication of juice in it, at all. I took it to apple, and because it was under warranty, they replaced it. This morning, my second shuffle fried during charging. Completely dead, no chance of revival. Only now the warranty is expired. I just thought I would put this information out there - I am now going to use only those provided by apple to charge these.
Rating: - Burn out- not positive
I wrote earlier that this product burned out my shuffle. I can't say for sure that it did. I only really know that the shuffle worked fine before use; afterward it wouldn't work at all. But in fairness I'm not any type of expert.

Be very careful if you buy this. I wanted to be able to charge my Shuffle when I was traveling without a computer and I bought both this and the Bargaincell car charger. I plugged the Shuffle into the wall charger at the hotel after using it for quite a while on the plane. When I went to unplug it, the Shuffle was very hot to the touch and it would no longer work - the sound was low and distorted. I turned the Shuffle on and let the battery run down completely and then recharged it via the Apple-supplied computer charger and it still would not work. I think that the charger fried my Shuffle! :(
Rating: - works just fine
This little charger is perfect. OK, it is not pretty - but I don't wear it as a fashion accessory - it stays in the office to charge the little bugger while I'm doing other things with all 5 USB ports simultaneously. Therefore, I thik it is great.
