Gets very very hot
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.After spending about $80 dollars on this product i was not expecting what i got, after 30 minutes this thing gets so hot you can cook an egg on it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Adapters in use that get too hot to where you can cook an egg on it is concerning. Because electricity runs through the JCD383, it is normal for it to become warm. In the case where it is too hot to where it is smoking, or harming you - please don't hesitate to contact support and obtain an exchange. We're sorry about your poor experience with us and hope to turn this around.
Thank you for the review,

Absolute garbage
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Instantly over heats. I did not even keep this useless thing. It is in a landfill somewhere now where it can't ruin any laptops.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from J5create Team
Posted .Hello,
I regret to hear that you were not pleased with this multi adapter. This adapter will seem warmer that other electronic devices that you may be used to due to its aluminum casing. The aluminum will transfer more heat away from the internal components. A plastic case will act as a thermal insulator keeping the heat generated by the internal components inside of the device.
In the event that the device is defective and overheating we back our products with a two year limited warranty. We appreciate your feedback.
Thank you,
