Good for frying an egg.
Bought this for Kidisuperstar (VTech) as it chews through batteries. Set it to 6V, 3.5 pin, plugged it in, the toy flashed all it's lights once and then died. Christmas present bought on a store card, no receipt. Figured it was faulty and managed to get a refund thanks to Smyths quality customer service. A fee days later my Chromebook charger stopped charging unless you kinked it. EUREKA I thought, I have a universal charger the good people of Amazon recommend. I plug it in and my screen goes black. I appear to have a bricked Chromebook. Now I know the Chromebook is a charmingly useless piece of kit but this state is definitely a down grade! Coincidence? I think not. I don't recommend.

Note before buying that unfortunately the cable comes out of the top of the odd shaped bulbous plug
Normally cables are attached to the bottom of 13A plugs i.e. opposite to the earth pin. Sometimes it doesn't matter but in my case I had to use an extension lead to avoid the body of the bulbous unit fouling its surroundings. I wish I had looked more carefully and chosen a standard conventional unit. It works OK though. The polarity of the output leads is indicated as the wire with the white streak is positive.

Failed after 6 months with buzzing and noisy signal
Had this adapter doing light occasional duty as supply for a console switch set as 9V. After about 5 month it started to buz annoyingly and injected noise into near by speakers. Bit of an electronics fail. I see that the return window is 1 month and no provided g'tee or return on failure showing that even the supplier has little confidence in this device. All the kite and CE marks don't mean stuff all when this cheap electronic *&^% fails so quickly.

Waste of my time
The adapters I needed are completely different to the rest and the picture so makes this useless to me so will have to order another from elsewhere waste of time and money

Exacly what advertised
This AC-DC adaptor is a little handy tool. It has many of the most usual jack barrels and you can choose of having positive inside or outside just turning around the connector. It powers efficiently as advertised.

Returned
I ordered the product because of the number of different size connectors. Unfortunately it did not have the right size one for the equipment for which I purchased it so I returned it. I am unable therefore to comment on its usefulness.

Faulty and dangerous
Dangerous! Don't buy this!This was intended to power a clock in our baby's room. Despite being set to the correct voltage for the clock, this adapter caused the clock to burn out. Lucky we were alerted by the nasty smell. Had this happened in the middle of the night who knows what might have happened.

Avoids the impossible hunt for a replacement power lead for your small electrical items.
This is really easy to use. Set your voltage, fit the correct little adaptor pin into the fixing and plug in. I bought a clearance DAB radio for £5 which had no adaptor and this has worked perfectly for 2 years. I also used it to replace an alarm clock power lead that was pulled apart by toddlers. The adaptor runs reasonably cool, uses little power and has a little red LED indicator. What more can you ask for? Great item and avoids hunting for the replacement power leads you will never find for your electrical items.
