I thought this item would be perfect since it had three different connections, but the big drawback is that you still need a USB-A adapter to charge the device. With the new USB-C cables and chargers it's hard to find one with USB-A now. Luckily I still have saved one from long ago. Also the directions never mentioned that you would need a USB-A adapter to charge the product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Hello Anne Marie! We are so sorry for any confusion associated with what was needed for this kit. We hope that now that it is set up and working you find it to be an amazing accessory for your devices. Should future questions or needs arise, please reach out to our CS Team by phone or via chat, and we are happy to help with this!
This is a nice product. The battery is small enough to carry in a shirt pocket and appears to have enough juice for normal travel needs. The cord is a bit stiff but the three way charging options offer so much flexibility it’s worth it.
It’s especially convenient for in-house charging of non phone equipment like a rechargeable Roku battery.
For price, convenience and flexibility it’s pretty hard to beat.
Took a while for me to get the product…when it finally got here, it doesn’t even work…retuning for a refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
