Serves It’s Purpose, February 12, 2010

By 

Landon G. Jaggers “lanjagg” (Oklahoma City, OK) –

  

As a utility, this AC charger certainly fulfills it’s purpose: it charges my MacBook battery. With that said, it is definitely no product made by Apple and it shows in many ways. For one the AC adapter does not fit onto the existing Apple extension cord very well. It comes with it’s own extension cord that connects awkwardly into the extension cord power port. This one is hard to explain.

The magsafe connector also has a few of it’s own issues. It will only charge the computer with a certain side facing up. If I try it with the other side facing up the green LED blinks rapidly and won’t charge. Strange, but not a deal breaker. Also, the green LED will often times stay on even when I have detached the cord from my computer.

Other than those two issues, the unit still fills my battery with juice and for that I am grateful. Now, if I can only keep my dog from chewing this one up as well…

Dangerous device, December 5, 2010

This device caught on fire and sparked significantly. Even if it is very cheap and does charge a laptop, when this happened it caused my computer to immediately turn off and it wouldn’t turn back on. It might be worth buying an authorized device in this case, or at least not this fire hazard.

Terrible Product, Extreme Fire Hazard, June 30, 2010

After charging my battery for a few hours (from 10% to 70% capacity) the charger was incredibly hot to the touch. It was so hot that a smell similar to wet paint filled the room and the white plastic surrounding the charger became warped and melted. I wish I had not been stubborn and had listened to the previous negative reviews. Even though it is a lot cheaper than the original Apple charger, which is also obviously a terrible product (susceptible to wire rot at the junctions) hence the need to buy a replacement, this product simply does not work. I am going to have to bite the bullet and get a genuine Apple charger since at least it works without running the risk of burning down your house. Very displeased with both Apple’s genuine charger and this joke of a product. I would have given this product zero stars but it wouldn’t let me give less than one.
