Customer Review: Terrible Item -- Honorable Sellers
Summary: 1 Stars
This may have just been a bad batch, but the power supply I received was definitely one of the worst products I've ever seen. The casing split almost immediately, and then it died completely just a few weeks after I got it -- It surged/shorted so badly (without warning) that sparks flew from my outlet and my circuit breaker tripped. Thank goodness for the CB, or I would have had some really serious damage!
That said, I was all set to have to fight an uphill battle with The Battery Center to get restitution, but I have to give credit where credit is due. Not only did they ship it in a heartbeat when I first ordered it, but they were incredibly helpful and polite once I told them what happened. All I had to do was say the word and they made good on it.
Thanks, guys -- I was all set to write you guys off for life, but the way you handled this snafu has given me reason to give you guys another shot, if I ever need anything else. Just please do us all a favor and do a MUCH better job at sourcing your products, next time. We, your Amazon buyers, would definitely appreciate it.
Customer Review: Cheap replacement
Summary: 1 Stars
After comparing prices between the said Smartcharge charger and Dell's model, it was an easy choice. However, this charger last 4 months before coming apart and nearly burning my table. Both ends of this charger came apart. The section that goes in the wall separated completely and so did the attachment to the charger itself. This item is a huge hazard for anyone using it, so be careful out there. I should recommend that if you've never asked for a replacement charger from the manufacturer of your computer, the first one is usually free. Cheap price but not worth the risk of electrocution or fire.Customer Review: fire starter
Summary: 1 Stars
Within 24 hours from receiving this charger it nearly burnt my house down. If it hadn't been for my roommates who were home at the time that it began filling my livignroom with smoke, I would have arrived home from work to a burning house. The battery center, who I purchased this from, has been very understanding and gave me a full refund and did not require me to send the product back.
BEWARE- Unless you are trying to start a fire, just order your charger from the manufactor. I was happy to pay Dell's $80 to get a charger that won't ignite my home.
Customer Review: Can't Be Used With My Laptop
Summary: 2 Stars
I have an Inspiron 8600 that is 4 years old. The description says this adapter will work with it. However, my laptop gave me a message, as soon as it was plugged in that it was incompatible with my machine and with Dell batteries and would not charge the battery. Sure enough, it holds a charge, but does not recharge the battery.
As another reviewer said, the cord is too short and it's cheap in construction. But since it was so inexpensive, it's just a frustration. Buyer beware, though. It may not work with your machine.
Customer Review: I'm back where I started after two attempts
Summary: 1 Stars
I first ordered this at the end of October to replace my wife's lost dell cord. The Dell replacement version is $60. I thought I would try this.
In less than a month, the cord from the adapter to the outlet shorted out at the point where it plugged into the adapter.
We contacted be email, and customer service was quick to replace this part. Now here I am again with the same problem in less than a month.
I would not buy this item.
