Reviews for Apple 45W MagSafe Power Adaptor for MacBook Air

Although my power supply lasted several years, when it finally went, it nearly started a fire. Luckily I was in the room when smoke came out of the unit while the wires began to burn & melt. Same problem: worn wires.

As an extra power supply for my new 11 in Air, the basic 45W brick seems well made and works fine. But the extension power cord is totally out of character with the elegance of the little Air. It is very very very stiff, has a thickness larger than what powers my refrigerator, and now requires a 3 prong outlet. The flip-out prongs from the brick alone don't need a grounded pin, so why include this extra size? In any event, i just cut off all but 1 inch of this refrigerator power cord, and connected a new flexible 120V lamp cord. But for $79, this is something Apple should have made!
