After reading many of the reviews I went ahead and order this AC adapter anyway. It is to replace the factory original on a Dell Inspiron 1525. So far, with two weeks of use, it has been fine. Powers the laptop. Charges the laptop. In short, it does what you would expect.
I dropped one star from my rating because the cord from the brick to the laptop is a bit on the short side. An extra foot or two would have been fine.
It will be interesting to see how long this unit lasts. Based upon the reviews, it seems that many of these fail within a few months. On the other hand, if you go read the reviews for the factory unit from Dell you'll find that many people have failures within a year. So, $6.50 for a unit that may or may not fail within a few months, or $60 for a unit that may or may not fail within a year. Do the math. Even if you buy one of these units every couple of months it would still be cheaper than buying a factory unit every year or so. Heck buy two or three so that you have spares on hand.
The really sad part is that all these units, regardless of their source, seem to be crap. But one really doesn't have a choice. You have to buy what fits your laptop.
