Customer Reviews:
NOT a charger. Whats the point?1
This purchase taught me one thing and one thing only: An Laptop AC Adapter and a CHARGER are (apparently) two totally different things, even though they look EXACTLY the same and even have the same model numbers written all over them.
This does not charge my laptop. It apparently doesnt charge ANYONEs laptops. I have an Inspiron 1525. This dell inspiron 1525 charger does keep my laptop on, but it does not charge the battery. Well, whats the point, then? Why would i want to leave my battery stuck at 35% all day? Waste of money, unless you hate your battery for some reason.
That said, the company who sold me this actually offered to refund my money, which was very nice of them. I declined, and i just keep the adapter around just in case i might need to keep my laptop on and i dont feel like charging either of my batteries (which is, by the way, stupid).
UPDATE: Someone commented on my review that this products description never says that its a charger. Fair enough. It also doesnt say that its NOT a charger, which is misleading. And if youre like most people, when you need to replace your CHARGER, you will likely read the model number from your existing charger, and type it into the search bar. This AC Adapter will come up on the list because it has the same model number. Defend the company all you wantthis is meant to mislead customers and increase sales.
By the way, the SAME commenter (in a moment of utter brilliance) also said that there must be something wrong with my laptop battery, since this Adapter doesnt charge it. Waiti thought you said it wasnt a charger. Make up your mind son!
Anyway, i replied in the comments if you really want to see my response.
Disappointing2
I bought this product when my last dell charger stopped charging. It worked for a while, but then the connection between the extension and the AC adapter failed and is now useless. I dont suggest purchasing this product.
THIS IS NOT A CHARGER1
I found out the hard way that this device will not charge your Dell, only run it. Was I being stupid? Im a software engineer and even I didnt know such things existed. Thats $18 down the drain not much, but I guess I got what I paid for.
