The charger works just fine.  The usb cable length is about 6 inches.  You can replace it of course, just buy a larger cable at Walmart, gas station, etc.  The Candy Cane Power Bank is 400mAh, that will give smartphones and tablets up to three hours of additional charge time.

I didn't use it much.  I only used it a couple of times!  If you like Christmas, then this is for you!  In addition to fueling mobile phones, gadgets, etc., it can be used as Christmas décor like hung on a Christmas tree.
