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.
