There are fast 1-hour chargers with a visually identical design. On fast chargers, the central open slot is claimed to be a feature that helps cool the batteries, which can get quite warm during a fast charge. I thought I was getting a fast charger, but this is a conventional charger that takes 4-8 hours to charge most cells. Yes, this information was in the description, but I gave 4 stars because I wish it had been more easily seen. It feels like a bit of bait-and-switch going on here, between the photo and the description. Not fraud or lies, just misperceptions that easily could have been avoided. This charger does provide 8 slots, which was my primary need. It has the added benefit of not having an external power supply: Its cord plugs directly into the wall. Still, it is a VERY good value, even as a slow charger.Read full review

The red light came on when the batteries were placed but they weren't charged even though the green light indicated the charge was complete. I bought rechargeable batteries and followed the instructions to include not using different sizes. Waste of money.

For the money this charger cannot be beat. A very good value it charges ( 8 ) total of two sizes of batteries AA + AAA Mixed if need be...real well. Indicators show state of charge for each pair..Red Amber + Green for fully charged. Many others only charge 4 at a time and they cost more.

Unit arrived quickly, well packed and as stated. It does as is indicated on the "too small" instructions. Have charged several sets of batteries with no problems.

If you use a number of AA or AAA cells, this is the charger for you. I use AA cells in electronic flashes, VHF radios and even my keyboard and mouse so I have rechargable AA cells all over the place. I wish they made one with a 12v lighter plug for on the road use
