    5th Charger

    This product works very well, but being Apple product you would think that they would last longer. Each charger I have had always frayed and broke near the charger block and then has to thrown away before catch fire or worse. The product definitely needs to be revamped to improve longevity of the product. I like Apple, but I am not CEO with lots of money to keep buying.

    Works well, until it doesn't anymore. Had to replace my first replacement charger after 5 months...I'm on charger number 3 now. Frustrating, but when it is working it charges very fast.

    I’ve had my MacBook Air for about 7 years now and my charger just gave out a few weeks ago. I need my lap top for work and couldn’t do without one. It does it’s job pretty efficiently I just wish it was as long as the original cord for the price it retails

    The connection to the laptop is effortless. I especially like the cord wrap holder when not in use. I wish the cord was longer, but so far this has not been a problem space wish, like on a airplane.

    I wouldn't trust any other brands to charge my laptop, but I wished Apple would make longer lasting chargers. The wires just bend too easily. This is probably my 3rd charger already.

    I think Apple is using planned obsolescence, as these things don't last very long.

    Very expensive item. It does the job but for some reason mine never last for more than a year without having to buy another.

    Poor construction, the wire coating degrades, breaks and has a waxy texture after a year of use. Expect to replace it every 18 months.

    I will try to find a charger withbraided cord or something that lengthens the life. Too expensive for the short life. Will research competition.

    It’s a great product but I’m only buying this because the life isn’t long on it. Apple’s chargers are all garbage and always break over time.

    Over priced but does the job

    Bought my daughter a MBA in January, it stopped working 2.5 months later. At $80 a cord and if they all stop working after that amount of time, this is going to get spendy very quickly.
