5.0 out of 5 stars Good travel laptop cable, April 4, 2008

By	Graham (Palo Alto, CA) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Amazon Verified Purchase

I bought this to help reduce my cable clutter when I'm traveling. I'm pretty pleased with the result. It is fairly chunky, the retractor hub is 2 1/4" in diameter and 3/4" thick, but it still takes up less space than my old cable, with less mess. It seems sturdy and well built.

It replaces the laptop AC cable, i.e the cable from the wall AC outlet to the laptop's power transformer. (It doesn't replace the transformer!) At the transformer end, it supports the standard two prong "Figure Eight" connector and includes an adapter for the three prong "Mickey Mouse" connector. These are the two most common laptop power connectors.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ziplink Retractable Notebook Power Cord, October 4, 2007

By	J. Bray (Johnson City, TN United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is an excellent item for those who travel with their notebook or if you just want to reduce clutter. Stores well in a laptop bag. No problems using this cord outside of the United States with 220v power, however a plug/outlet adapter will needed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Works well...until it fails, March 24, 2009

By	Craig Froehle (Cincinnati, OH) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Bought this unit about a 10 months ago. I stowed it in my bag attached to my laptop's power brick. Unwittingly, over time, as it jostled around in my bag, that caused the edge of the spool casing to rub against part of the cord (right at the base of the plug) and it severed one of the wires, rendering it useless. It worked really well before this, but I would have hoped it'd be a bit less prone to damaging itself (such as by the wire guides having rounded corners instead of sharp(ish) ones). I'll buy another one, but only because it's so cheap and I haven't found a substitute that looks markedly better. So, 3 stars...not bad, but not great.
