I expected this to be made by Dell. It's identical to Dell's adapter.
The 60$ adapter I bought from Dell died after about a month.
This one is fresh out of the box and is working great. My battery is charging and the system is up and running. Horrah!
I choose this product because it is new, it has a 3 year warranty, and it was inexpensive.
It does appear to be new. There is no documentation with it what-so-ever. Not even an invoice or receipt.
I do not see how to use the warranty. But hopefully I won't have to.
The price was excellent. By far the most inexpensive I found.
Shipping was via USPS and was here in 5 days or less (same as UPS).
So after 20 minutes of use I'm impressed.

Time goes by. Unfortunately this little charger didn't last very long. Only a couple of months before it gave up the ghost. It wasn't very tough. My only complaints; it was loud and it broke.

A little later. I fixed the adapter with a little bit of rewiring and some electrical tape. It still only worked for another couple of months. I'm throwing it away this time. I'm not even going to bother with the warranty.

I couldn't believe the price on this. I thought it would have to be crappy because of the price. I WAS WRONG! It works beautifully with my Dell Inspiron 1720. Dell charges $69.99 for their replacement charger which is crazy! This charger works just like the original. Only flaw about it is the cord is slightly shorter. Otherwise I'm completely happy with my purchase. :)

The first one I received was defective, but the seller replaced it immediately and did not give me any problems. The new one works like a charm, and is very reliable.

While this item works fine to plug in your laptop, most of the time it will not charge your battery. My computer continously says "power cable not compatable for charging battery" so don't trust it to charge. However on odd numbered days when the moon is just right and the geese fly in a "V" it will charge your battery.

The original Dell power pack that came with my Inspiron 1705 stopped charging the battery although it continued to run the lap top on AC power. I wasn't willing to pay the hefty price that Dell wanted because I use the lap top on AC power virtually all of the time and I wasn't absolutely sure that the power pack was the cause of the charging problem. When I saw the price and reviews on this replacement power pack, I figured it was worth trying just to have a second AC pack that I could leave at my desk. I ordered it and shipping was very fast from the vendor. I just plugged it in to my Inspiron 1705 and I'm happy to see that it is working on AC and also charging the battery. The only minor negatives so far are the total length of the cord is about 1.5 feet less than the original and it does not not have the rubber tie strap of the original. For the price, these are well worth the sacrifice. The only open question is how durable it is. I figure if I get a year out of it, it will be worth it since the original, which costs 4 times as much only lasted two years. If it matters to you, it is made in China.

My son says it works. I bought it for him since he misplaced his other one. He states that it is working ok.

worked for less than two months and died; no green light, no power, no recharging - just dead; now I know why it was one tenth the price of the Dell replacement

Power cord works great and shipped fast. You plug it in to the wall and plug the other end into the computer and you have power. It even recharges the battery.

The adapter is same as dell original, system accepted the adapter as it was connected, no blue screen, no setup, no hassle. only thing is the power cord is little bit short, if seller can do something about it. other then that this adapter is the best deal.

Product delivered very quickly and exactly what I was looking for. Thanks for the quick response and I didn't have to do nothing except order the product and it was at my door.
