Akawa USB Wall Charger? Anyone?

Akawa USB Wall Charger? Anyone?




         Recently I bought a charger called Akawa, Anyone heard about this brand? Is it good? Can't find any information about this charger online. But I bought it anyway.


         






Here is what I found, it has 1 amp port and a 2.1 amp port. Both ports produce the correct amps indicated (estimated using an android app). The Akawa logo on top lights up and also can make a good night lamp while charging. 

         





The problem I have encountered is that it heats up. A lot warmer than my original usb charger. And sometimes it's normal. This might be due to energy waste me, a normal thing in electronic adaptors where the electricity or current is controlled to produce the correct current for the device. I can live with that "a little bit warm than other" charger because it is  pretty much normal.

        
         





What bothers me is, when I noticed there isn't any safety certification marks on the charger itself and on the packaging, no CE marks,uL which is a requirement to be sold in Europe. And it doesn't indicate where it is made. It is indicated in the packaging made in china, but this is the first charger I bought without any info just a website of the company. Checking out the website, the product is not listed, googled it and none. No one has reviewed this product, no one even sells it online. I emailed the company but there is no reply. Legit or not. I doubt using this for safety reasons. 





This will be the only review you will find online about this product. All are questions but no answers.

Pros: product is well made
          Night light when charging at night
          Both ports read the correct currents

Cons: no safety certification marks
           No made in china printed on the adaptor itself.
           Cannot find the brand name online. Only the distributor.
           Online product support does not respond
           A little warmer than other chargers.
