My cat broke my old adapter so I purchased a new one from bestbuy. It's being over a month and it works perfectly well. I'm glad that I bought it here rather than apple store because bestbuy members can get rewards.

Works as expected. However still pricey ($79) for the use with a 2014 MacBook Pro. Buy used one......

The old saying that teachers hear all the time, "The dog ate my homework" appears to be applicable in this case, although I think it was actually a cat or maybe an accidental tug on the old one. Whatever the cause, the wiring on the old cord had split open and with bare wiring showing, it was time to replace. Unfortunately, the whole thing from wall to computer is the way that Apple chooses to take care of what may be a fairly common malady. This is the reason for the 4 rating. The only thing that we could salvage was the small removable piece of the block section.
FYI - There are two similar replacement electrical connections. The cheaper one is for older models. The replacement that I required was the newer, more expensive one. If I had not gone into the store and talked with a clerk, I would have ordered the wrong one online. I could not tell the difference between the two by looks or by the 85W.

I bought two of these; one because I wanted a spare and the second because my cat decided to play with the one that came with my Retina MBP. Unfortunately she managed to bite on the thin side of the cable and put two punctures through it, effectively killing it. I'm glad she didn't end up like the cat from Christmas Vacation, and that she didn't brick my laptop.
As for the charger, it's versatile in that you can extend its length, which I always do. I never understood the 'hooks' on the brick part of the charger, and the only con is the cost, but all laptop chargers are expensive.
So if you need a spare (or a replacement) charger for your macbook pro with a magsafe 2 connection, buy in confidence.

I needed a spare to go with the new MacBook Pro I purchased at Best Buy. Always helps to have an extra in the car when traveling to avoid having to tote the one I use at home when I'm out and about.

It’s Apple. Their products are great. You can tell by the price you pay. I do wish this charger had a private label manufacturer option that was cheaper. Works perfect though.

This Apple charger for a MacBook Pro has a magnetic DC connector that is functional and is designed to disconnect if the cord is strained. The 85W charger charges the computer fast.

This is a better charger than off-brand chargers I have used. Better construction, thicker wire, longer lasting. Factory OEM always beats after-market.
