    WHY THE BAD REVIEWS

    • Written by Juan J from London
    • Feb 3, 2019

    I'm starting to think there's some 3rd party maker of this product that is infecting this reviews section. It took me 2 years to decide to get one because I was reading all the negative comments. It's now been 4 years and I have no complains whatsoever.

    Using these, I've been able to use all my old Mac power adapters to have charging available wherever I use my Mac.

    Ignore all the silly negative reviews of this product. This accessory is useful, reliable and worth buying.

    about to order my fourth due to failures

    • Written by Jonathan C from Ottawa
    • Mar 30, 2018

    Just like so many other people here, I'm having to get YET ANOTHER ONE OF THESE THINGS.

    I'm having to get my fourth, simply because I have FIVE "regular" magsafe power bricks around the house
    (don't ask how many Macbooks... sigh) and I have *one* macbook that I have to put up with the stupid magsafe2.

    And because these things are so small... and easy to lose... and die on a regular basis... I'm now ordering my fourth.

    For all I know at least one of them is sitting at the bottom of my son's drawer of LEGO... Sigh...

    Works fine

    • Written by Tyler B from San Diego
    • Mar 28, 2018

    I have a Thunderbolt Display at work and have been using this every workday for the past 2.5 years with no problems what so ever. I love that I can plug in the two cords from the Thunderbolt Display and get ethernet, power and a second screen while my keyboard is plugged neatly into the back of the Thunderbolt Display.

    ***Here's the problem!
    The company I work for are upgrading to the new MacBook pros but keeping the Thunderbolt Displays. We NEED a converter similar to this that will supply power from Magsafe 1 to USB C!!! WHY HAS APPLE NOT MADE ONE AVAILABLE FOR SALE??? Now, every day I have to take out / put away my power cord and brick while the power adapter split from the Thunderbolt Display lies useless next to it.***

    Worked amazing for me after the tape holding together the wires on my $100 charger weren’t doing it’s job. I used my brother’s old charger with this adapter and was able to charge my laptop!

    There may have been a manufacturing issue.

    • Written by Joseph R from Port Townsend
    • Oct 9, 2017

    Very puzzling that the reviews are so split between lovers and haters of this adapter. I looked this up on Amazon and found many very recent reviews overwhelmingly quite positive. So I will get one to avoid having to fork over the cash for a spare MagSafe power supply just to have the right connector. I have an 85W spare for the old 2011 MacBook I am leaving behind and it will be the one reminder of the old computer that I simply wore out. I gave it 5 stars because I expect it to work fine as the recent reviews indicate.

    I've been really pleased with this - on my old Cinema display at work - that is 8 years old, the magsafe adapter is now 4 1/2 years old and is still going strong.

    Stops working after a couple months, i think i know why

    • Written by Frankie T from Westhampton Beach
    • Oct 3, 2017

    This does exactly what you would expect but it stopped working after maybe 4-5 months. I think it stopped working because it got too hot using it with the metal magsafe charger, so now i am using it with my plastic magsafe charger and it no longer gets hot.

    Three months on, still working

    • Written by Drew S from West Melbourne
    • Sep 7, 2017

    I have seen the reviews for this adaptor, just have to say that mine has been working fine for over three months now. I unplug it and plug it back in daily, put the charger in by backpack and otherwise treat it like a regular charger.

    I've owned one for over a year with no problems so far

    • Written by Donovan B from Easthampton
    • May 11, 2017

    I have to admit that I was worried when I bought this due to the horrible reviews. I bought a MacBook Pro 15" mid 2015 and I have 2 older magsafe chargers from my previous MacBook Pro mid 2009.

    I have now owned one single adapter for over a year now without any issues. I actually switch it between two older chargers on a regular basis. It has worked without any problems whatsoever. You learn to simply bend it along the longest edge to disconnect it easily.

    Hopefully this review will keep someone else from worrying like I did, otherwise I wouldn't have waited a year to buy another one with confidence.

    Converter did not work with 15" Macbook Pro 2015

    • Written by judith B from Tallahassee
    • May 6, 2017

    This converter did not work at all for me. Very disappointed. While in town with an Apple store went and bought a second 85W Magsafe2 power cord. Would have preferred not to have to spend that money. I always keep one power cord in office and another in my mobile bag.

    This might work with smaller screen size laptops. Wish Apple would have made this work for me.

    Saved the day and allowed reuse of MagSafe form old MBP.

    • Written by John-Dexter O from New York
    • May 2, 2017

    I was in the middle of a meeting one morning and it went long and my battery was dying. I only had my old MBP supply at the office, but had just purchased a MagSafe to MagSafe 2 Converter the night before. I paused the meeting for 2 minutes grabbed the converter and my old power supply and was back in business instantly!

    I'm still a bit puzzled/aggravated as to why Apple had to change MagSafe to MagSafe 2. It seems like a bit of unnecessary obsolescence.

    Few products wear out faster. Donuts and corsages rival it in durability. Will work for several days though.

    Not as bad as everyone says

    • Written by Christopher T from Regina
    • Apr 8, 2017

    Our office uses the converter daily, and has been doing so well over 2 years. We have yet to see one fail. I'm not saying they're not finicky at times, but I've never been unable to charge my computer.

    I'd prefer not to have to use one, but it's not a deterrent at all.

    Failed

    • Written by Joe G from STONINGTON
    • Apr 6, 2017

    After about a year the connection end looks corroded and it only works intermittently. You have to hold your breath every time the machine moves. Not a very robust design for a laptop.

    Been working great for months

    • Written by Andrew S from Roslindale
    • Feb 25, 2017

    I've been using one of these for a few months and it's been working perfectly. It stays reliably attached to the charging cable. Buying a second now to resurrect a second older charger.
