Binamao 12V 1.25A 15W Power Supply Charger for Echo & More (1.5m Cable) – UK Plug
Product description
What this is
A compact, cross‑compatible 12V 1.25A (15W) power supply designed to keep Echo and Alexa devices charging reliably across home, office and travel setups. It uses a 4.0mm x 1.7mm DC plug and a long 1.5m cord for flexible placement. On paper, it aims to be a straightforward replacement or spare charger that doesn’t require extra adapters when travelling.
Who it’s for
If you own multiple Echo devices or smart speakers that use a 12V 1.25A supply, this adaptor could suit you as a practical backup. It’s particularly handy for multi‑zone homes or travel where the same charger can be used with various Echo models listed in the compatibility notes.
What to check before buying
Verify that your exact device is listed among the compatible models (Echo Dot 3rd/4th/5th Gen with or without Clock, Echo Show 5 1st/2nd Gen, Echo Spot, Fire TV Cube and related variants). It’s not listed as compatible with certain older Echo lines, so double‑check compatibility to avoid a mismatch.

Where it shines in daily use
On the surface, the charger is a simple solution for keeping compatible Echo devices powered without fuss. The long cord helps with plug placement in tight desks or entertainment centres and reduces the need for a separate extension. The built‑in protections add a layer of safety for longer charging sessions, which can be reassuring if you use devices overnight or in shared spaces.
What it may fall short on
If your setup includes Echo devices outside the listed compatibility or older generations not specified, you might need to explore alternatives. Also, while the cord length is helpful, some users may still find the unit bulkier than a dedicated integrated power brick for travel light use.
Practical usage example
Imagine a bedside setup: you can swap between an Echo Dot with Clock and an Echo Show 5 for quick alarms or streaming, all while using the same charger thanks to the universal 12V 1.25A rating and ample cord length. It’s a small convenience that keeps the desk tidy and spares you from rummaging for multiple adapters when guests arrive.
Final decision: Is it worth it?
Worth considering if you prioritise a practical spare or travel charger for compatible Echo devices and value a long, durable lead with robust safety features. It may not be the best choice if you require explicit compatibility with newer or non‑listed models, or if you already own a charger that works perfectly for your current devices.
FAQ
- Is this compatible with Echo Dot 3rd Gen with Clock? Yes, based on the listed compatibility.
- Does it work with Echo Show 5 1st and 2nd Gen? Yes, within the compatibility notes.
- Are there adapters required for UK use? No, this is the 100–240V input with a UK plug, so no extra adaptor is needed.
Decision tail note
If you want a straightforward, safe, and travel‑friendly option for powering multiple Echo devices that match the listed compatibility, this Binamao charger covers typical needs without over‑specification. It isn’t designed to unlock features or performance beyond supplying steady power, so align expectations with a practical, utilitarian charging accessory.
