The Sony ACU50A.CEK is a very useful device that will allow you to run virtually any USB device from a UK 13 amp mains socket.

There's nothing revolutionary about this power adaptor from Sony but because of its Sony heritage at least there's an assurance about the quality and stability of power it will deliver. Of course, you can buy unknown brands of this sort of product for much less, but is it really worth spending, say, £200 on a precious USB powered device and then using a sub-standard and potentially unstable adaptor to power it? - the logic just doesn't stack up. There is also the potential for permanent damage to be caused to products by an unstable power supply.

This Sony power adaptor works well and powers a wide range of USB devices in my home without difficulty. It would have been nice if it had come with an interchangeable mains plug to fit EU and other domains but then that would add to cost and bulk as well. Also, an alternative mains plug design might have meant sacrificing the folding UK plug which is very neat and makes the device even more portable.

I have not encountered the buzzing sound referred to on this page - if you listen hard right up to the device you can hear a slight hum but I'd expect this from any device that is stepping down 240V to 5V!

A well made device by Sony and worth its price. Recommended.

This is a well made lightweight switched-mode power supply. It provides 5V at 500mA and no more - it you try to draw more current, the protection circuit kicks in and the supply switches off. It charges all the various phones I've used it with, a cheap digital camera, and my Kindle.

There is one small niggle - this is the "UK only" version. The one I had previously had different mains connectors for use in Europe and the USA, and was particularly useful when travelling. If you want to use this abroad, you have to buy mains adaptors to suit.

A good product at a reasonable price.

Bought this as a low cost alternate to the Apple USB Power Adapter £26 - to use with my ipod touch. This adaptor works fine no problems. The only minor criticism is the quality of the USB socket 'like most' they are not very robust and therefore need to be used carefully.


5.0 out of 5 stars Works with Sony device where others failed, 30 May 2012

It works perfectly as an AC power adapter for the Sony ICD-PX312 2GB digital voice recorder.

I had previously tried an unbranded USB charger, and power from a powered USB hub, both without success. Neither of them worked with my Sony device.

Sony devices (or at least some of them) must have a different USB power requirement to others (strange but true).

If it's got a decent brand name on it, it's worth the extra few quid. I was looking around for chargers for my Sony .mp3 player I've just bought and one came up that many people said had blown up on them. You've got to be careful with electrics. These things might not be very powerful but if they explode, that's dangerous.

I doubt very much if Sony are going to knock themselves with a bad product. I've got a few of their music players, (separates and portable). I trust the name, so went for this. It's perfect. Have already tried it out and it took not much more than an hour to give a full charge on the .mp3. When finished, the charger was hardly warm to the touch.

Nice one, Sony!

Does its job as stated but it does have a slight buzzing when plugged in which I didn't expect from a Sony product. I chose this one because the cheaper versions seemed unreliable according to reviews.
Its currently only being used intermittently. Time will tell if this is a problem and the unit dies.

This is a good, quality charger as expected from Sony. Have purchased the cheaper unknown chargers before and they don't last long. So far, so good with this item, worth paying the extra for a good quality charger.

I have used this with both Sony and other products and it has worked fine. No problems, it just works.
