Difficult to have it stay engaged at wall outlet
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My computer claims that the wattage of this charger is too low - but it does get the charging done. The box is large and awkward, and it doesn't stay in the wall socket easily. Also, I'd prefer a longer cord.

Perfect as replacement
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My daughters dog keeps chewing up her chargers for her Laptop. Bought this one and now she is only replacing the USB-C cable when the dog gets hold of it. Much cheaper and less stress on her. Now if we can only get that Dog under control ;-)

Nice item
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is great. For the price, unbeatable. Plenty of power. Keeps my 2018 15" MacBook Pro charged at work just fine. (I keep the Apple charger at home.) Make sure you need a USB-C charger if you buy this. No USB-A port on it.

What utter garbage!
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this new to replace the charger that came with my niece's laptop. Unfortunately, though this did charge the laptop at first, the computer had a glitch by then that kept it from mattering, so we set it aside. This was only 5 months ago. At about month 2 of owning this item, which had only been used ONCE by that point, I charged my niece's computer so I could help fix whatever was wrong with it. Turned out I didn't have all that I needed to fix it on-hand, but with a FULLY charged, but down-powered laptop on-hand, I wasn't worried about letting it sit for a few weeks until I got back to it. When I finally got back to it only 2-3 months later, the computer wouldn't even take a charge. WHICH, I should mention, I blamed on the computer itself rather than the charger. I thought somehow the battery had crapped out after such a relatively short period of non-use... However, on a whim, I decided to put my standard USB-C Wall Charger for my PHONE on it, and you know what? It fired right up! The phone charger may not be enough to sustain it long-term, but it was more than enough to charge it. And that charger was like 10 bucks. The fact that this overpriced Insignia wall charger won't even get power to it AT ALL is more than discouraging and disappointing. It's flat out unacceptable. So for the $40, or so, price that I paid for this charger, we got 2 charges out of it total?! TWO?!?! Unacceptable. There is really no excuse for this. This is not a battery issue at all - this is simply a charger issue. Unfortunately, I'm just out of my return period, so Insignia got full price for an almost completely defective product that was used only 2 times.

Works Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought one of these for a docking station. Now when I bring my MacBook to work I just plug in the one cable from the doc and I'm ready to go. The power supply just stays connected to the doc.. These are less than half of Apples price.

Works for 8 months and STOPs charging after that
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought the charger for my 15" macbook pro (touchbar) [Originally 87W] and it worked great for the past 8 months. Until suddenly it just stopped charging. I thought it might have been due to a controlled power outlet, but it's not. I've tried it at home, at work, and multiple power outlets, and the charger no longer works. Thought it was a good deal to get it for $40, but would just recommend getting the legit Apple one if you're planning on using it for a MBP.

Does the job
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It's a power supply with USB C. charges high power devices just fine. neat form factor and functional design - bought it in store and it was a hassle to find it as it's not under power supplies but apple accessories.

Charges very fast and good price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in need of a replacement as my wife temporarily left hers on a trip. This was a good bit less than apple product. She later got her other one back. She’s a flight attendant so good to have 2 anyway.

Great Type-C charger for my new laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was on a business trip with my new Dell laptop and realized I had brought my old charger with me.

Works great, right price, but lifetime is short
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This worked great for six months and then started flaking out. It still works but has to be in *just* the right position. I expected this from a 3rd party but not quite so soon.

Works with my computer
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Cord could be another foot but it's fine in most situations. Feels well built so far. Bought as travel charger for HP spectre. Surprisingly hard to find good usb c chargers for larger devices. This does the trick!

Worked great... for a while
