I don't use my computer much, maybe a few hours a week, and my original adapter lasted over three years. My original adapter had a short where it plugs in to the back of the computer, so back in June I bought this one to replace it. Save yourself the time and money and get a better adapter from somewhere else. This one quit on me after less than 5 months. I too got a cheap knockoff, but I figured it wouldn't make any real difference. I was wrong.
I bought this product and got an original DELL charger, just like the one in the picture. After reading the previous reviews, I conclude that it is just random wether you get an original or not.
I tried to contact them twice about the problem and no one ever got back to me. This company is advertising that they are selling an Original Dell AC adapter by Dell. It is just a cheap knockoff with some false advertising and pictures of something that they do not actually send you. It seems like a great deal for the price, but if you want a real, genuine Dell AC adapter, DO NOT BUY FROM the batterycenter. They even have several pictures of adapters that say Dell on them. Unfortunately, what they sent me was some cheap knockoff of a Dell adapter that says "replacement adapter" instead of saying Dell.
The product works, and it does fit my computer, but I am not at all pleased with the fact that the seller specifically presented this as an original Dell product, when it is NOT. I however, got a cheap knock-off made by some other company. The product description indicates that it is an original Dell product. I read the other review, and that customer was well pleased, and got an original Dell product.
Brand new.i'll comment my experience with it again in 3 months the cosmetical condition is A+, when i opened the package and noticed it was the original i thought that perhaps it was an used/reconditioned unit but i mistaken again when i found it to be sealed and nearly untouched by human hands. 5 out of 5, it really impressed me that for the price (almost 19$)this AC adapter is the original DELL adapter like the one shipped with the computer, i almost bought an equivalent for higher price and really wondered if this one was the real thing as stated, i waited, and it is.i can't say anything about the durability because i've been using it for a few hours but given that it is the original it should last long. also, it looks and feels very sturdy and robust, capable of falling from a reasonable height without breaking.
