Reviews for Apple 45W MagSafe Power Adaptor for MacBook Air

After about a year of having a charger i found that the wire started to come loose by the adapter! It finally broke nearly setting on fire. I bought a new one and now the one i bought about 3 months ago is breaking. I am very disappointed. This product needs fixing and re-called.

Broke after one and half years!! Apple makes bad quality product!!! Very disappointed!

My charger broke off 2 and a half years. They need to recall this product. We all need to tell Apple so maybe they can fix this problem.

This is the second time I have to buy a replacement charger cable for my laptop that it's not even 3 years old. I am very careful with my equipment so it is definitely not negligence on my end. It is just poor construction. Of course the people at the Apple store said it wasn't cover under warranty so I have to spend another $79.99. I love Apple products, but this is ridiculous!!!

I am a Tech specialist for a small school district. We issued Macbook Airs to students in August of 2012. As of April, 2013, I have approximately 45-50 that have failed. This represents better than a 20 percent failure rate. The cables on the adapters fail, usually the failure is internal and not detectable with the eyes. Apple includes winding hooks with the adapter that seem to exaggerate the problem, the tight wind encouraged by these hooks causes a sharp bend at the base of the cable. For the price of the Macbooks, and the price of the replacement adapters, I would certainly expect better.

I am now on my second charger which has broken, and I'm having to purchase another expensive charger which I can barely afford. Apple really needs to sort of the design of this charger since I'm not satisfied at all and I'm completely appalled with the service provide even though I've spent a lot of money getting a mac and I shouldn't be dealing with a fault like this.

I say it was good while it worked but it constantly overheated on occasions becoming so hot you couldn't even touch it! Now it just doesn't work anymore after a period of 2 months of it intermittently working. The extortionate price of a replacement means I will not get another one but I am also concerned about spending money on cheap replacements!

Though they look very pretty. The flimsy small lead broke at the point where it went into the charger and at the point where it joins the metal input for the computer.

I understands Apples wants to slick, slimline and and design centric. This should not be done over durability.

On laptop that should last 4 years without thinking about an upgrade. The charger should not break in half that time. The charger certainly wouldn't of been able to pass a pat test for the last year.

I am not the only person with this issue. Design over durabilty come on.

I love the design of this charger but it would be much better if it was reliable - and last longer - and the price reasonable...
