What's great about it: Quick charge that lasts a long time. Easy to use. Compact.
What's not so great: Slightly high cost but way worth it in the long run.
I went out to get this product after buying my son a Leappad for Christmas. Any Leappad owner knows that (with 2 kids playing all the time) normal batteries only last 2-3 days and I needed to get that fixed because it was getting expensive to replace 4 batteries that often. After reading many reviews it seemed that the Duracell owners were nowhere near as happy with their product as Energizer owners. I'm more that happy I did take that time and went with this great product. I'm getting 4-5 days of play out of that same Leappad now plus I can toss them back in the 15 minute recharger and right back in the Leappad. I also purchased an 8 pack of extra batteries but havent had to open that yet. I'm sure they will find homes in Wiimotes and other things once the normal batteries die out.
Very happy with the charge time. I was a bit skeptical that the 15 minute charge would last a long time but I was dead wrong. I don't fully know the batteries complete life since I just purchased this mid January but I can't imagine that it would be bad with the reviews I've read.
With charger adaption to work with your accessory plug in the car this would be great for cameras and road trips as well.
I'd almost be surprised if Energizer didn't put themselves out of business with this product. I can't imagine going back to "regular" batteries and depending on their actual life, I'm sure I won't have to buy more for a very long time. WELL worth the cost.
I'm sure the Universal Compact version would be a great buy as well but that does take 3-5 hours for a charge. The plus side there would be it recharges ALL batteries but again 3-5 hours made me stick with the quick charge.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: saves money, ease of use, car charger
What's not so great: price, makes a bit of noise
I bought this because my rechargeable battery packs for my gaming controllers for the xbox 360 and nintendo wii died out. I bought this because the batteries last longer than the rechargeable battery packs. I also use this for my hobby of r/c cars, planes, and helicopters. radio controlled vehicles go through batteries like no tomorrow. I bought extra battery packs to use for other devices. The good thing about the rechargeable battery charger is that it doesn't take too long to charge the batteries. I also like the fact that it can charge AA and AAA batteries.

What's great about it: Simply, probably works better than product's description.
What's not so great: My entire experience with Best Buy.com
Product is fantastic. Have had one for several years. Used it so much, it finally wore out. Besides, it was an older model, worked with new improved batteries, but not as well as the new unit. Only problem, was with Best Buy, ship to store. Received e-mail, that product was available for pick up. Spent an hour, with up to four employees at any given time, looking for one of the five units the computer said was there. Ended up ordering it again, as ship to home. Still, was billed for shipping and handling, until I complained. If you need a superior AA/AAA battery charging system, you can't do better than this. Just make sure that you have it in hand, before you hand them your credit card information.

What's great about it: Easy to use, affordable price
Just purchased this to start using rechargable batteries for my timer battery powered flicker candles (from QVC) Its great! Charges all 4 AAA's in 30 minutes (just as advertised) and has a good secure holding area for the batteries while they charge. Other models are not made as well and the batteries wiggle thus creating a bad connection and one or more batttery not charging.
The fan is louder than I expected but unless you plan to sit and stare at the charger while its charging, you wont notice, especially if you are in another room. Its a small price to pay for such a quick charger - I dont mind at all!
Great product!

What's great about it: Only one known to come with car charger in price range
What's not so great: Only one light indicator for all for batteries charging
I love this charger so much I bought 2 additional ones as gifts. It is the only charger that I have located on the market that comes with a wall and car charger within the price range. It is really handy while travelling and the camera dies. The only down side is that there is only one light indicator for all 4 batteries charging, so regardless if there are batteries fully charged you would not know until they are all charged. But hey it only takes 15 minutes so it's a very small issue!! Great investment!!

What's great about it: very easy to set up, convinent, easy to set up, comes with batteries, and has a fan so it doesn't overheat.
What's not so great: comes with 2 AA batteries and 2AAA batteries.
When i bought my turtle beach x4 headset for the x box 360, i bought this battery charger. The charger is superfast and easy to use. The only thing that i had trouble with is the set comes with 2AA batteries and 2AAA batteries. I only needed AAA batteries. I just thought it would be better if they had a AA set that comes with 4 AA batteries and a AAA set that comes with 4 AAA batteries. The batteries also hold charge for a long time and charge very very fast.

What's great about it: Fast Charger
What's not so great: Loud Fan
If you have a digital camera or console game such as the XBox 360, you NEED a AA battery charger.
The charge is fast (15 to 30) minutes, and the batteries hold the charge even with my heavy digital camera use. The price may seem high, but it's a good deal when you include the 4 free 2500ma rechargeable batteries.
My only complaint is that the fan is loud, but a strong fan may be a requirement for a unit that charges batteries this fast (rapid charging generates quite a bit of heat).
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Charge time, battery life
What's not so great: not any so far
Rechargeable batteries have come a long ways! This set from Energizer has a great charge time of 15 minutes. The unit may be a little pricier than some, but is worth it. The only thing that is different from my last set which was Monster brand is that there is a little fan sound that runs while it's operating and it does have an adapter instead of the plug right on the back of the unit. Not too big of a deal. The car adapter option is nice as well for charging while traveling.

What's great about it: Batteries go from completely dead to full in about 20 minutes.
What's not so great: Zero.
This is a great investment. I've got a Canon S5IS, that takes four of these babies, and I sure wasn't going to buy new batteries every other day. The only batteries that would even hold up would the the lithium camera batteries, at $12+ a pack.
This comes with 2200 mAh batteries. You can get 2500, which should last even a little longer. I used the camera for 3+ days on the included batteries. I sat there testing them, by taking picture after picture after picture with the flash on for a lot of it, and they lasted, by my estimation, 6-8 hours of on/use time. I really couldn't believe it.
Then, after those finally died, I put them in the charger, and 20 minutes later it was off, and they were completely charged.
Another plus, is that this comes with a car adapter for your cig lighter, or extra terminal, so if you're on a trip somewhere, take a few sets of batteries, and never run out. Or, in 15 minutes you can be using the same set again.
Definately reccomend.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Fast charging
What's not so great: Batteries don't hold out as long as alkaline
These are so necessary for people in the age of all things digital! I have a camera, mp3 player, headphones, and tons of other items that need batteries, and it is just NOT worth it to spend money on alkalines. While the rechargable batteries do not have as much juice (and therefore, don't last as long) they are quick and easy to recharge, and then you're back in action! Great money saver!

What's great about it: Long lasting batteries
What's not so great: None
As a professional photographer I need to have long lasting batteries all the time. Anyone that shoots in the coldest of cold weather as I often do know that Lithium-Ion Batteries go dead within just a few shots. These Energizer batteries really do go on and on..and it sure beats the 4 hours the Lithium-Ion Batteries need to charge..
Get these batteries you wont be sorry..I wont use anything else when I shoot!!

What's not so great: batteries do not hold charge
It seems all I ever do is charge the batteries. They do not hold a charge. After a full charge I put them in a remote or a Kodak Camera, and they are dead in a matter of no time. Played with it numerous times reread the instruction, to no avail. Simple are very weak batteries a lot of recharging. Not worth the money I paid for them.
Working it's way t the trash bin!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
