Power Everything with one Surplus MagSafe1 85W adapter
Already had a Magsafe1->2 adapter so that just one spare adapter was needed in the office workbench for testing, add this and you can power all three iterations of macbook (and in the case of USB-C, everything newer, and with a USB-C adapter or hub, everything USB-A)

Almost a great device - Not suited for Apple Laptops requiring 85W power supply.
Have been using this for a awhile now, and have learned some things about it. First - it does work but charges slowly because it does not pass through the full 85W to charge the 15” MacBook Pro like the factory adapter. This adapter does get very warm in operation, although that does not seem to be dangerous. Spend the additional money and but a real Apple Power supply if you value your laptop.Review update: I had MacBook Pro 15” 2019 plugged into this adapter all day and have discovered that this 15” MacBook Pro really does not like this adapter. The adapter gets so warm that the thermal overload cycles it on and off and the effect on the MacBook is that the it stops charging and dims the screen, then turns back on and the screen brightens. This cycle goes on all day. DO NOT USE THIS ADAPTER ON THE MacBooks requiring an 85W power supply. Might be fine for a MacBook Air or any apple laptop that only requires 60W or less, but not good for the 85W laptops..

A (crappy) inexpensive charging adapter for stingy buyers
{UPDATE} (2/20/19): The adapter suddenly stopped working, and only after a month after I bought it! I have tried with my magsafe 1 + 2 chargers. (I have verified that the chargers themselves are working), flipping the orientation of the magsafe plug, flipping the orientation of the USB-C plug, trying that on all of the four ports. Nothing. I even cleaned the contacts with isopropyl alcohol, but nothing again. I will definitely be asking for a replacement.Despite the sketchy English on the package, it works beautifully it does fit MagSafe 1 and 2, which I find excellently versatile. The indicator light on the charger does not light up, but it charges anyway, and they do warn you about that on the box. The dongle does not get hot, nor does the charging brick, inexplicably.I would definitely recommend this product.

Works well, but concerned about durability as it gets very hot.
As noted in the headline, works as advertised and seems to be of good quality. It does get very hot to the touch (like mild burn if you hold it) when charging. Also, once the battery hits 100% it shuts off and so the battery begins to discharge. At that point you must unplug it to re-set and return to charging mode.

Love the idea not quite sure about performance yet
Well made product. But not sure why occasionally the charging process will stop working. I thought it was broken but worked again the next time I tried it. I’ll report back after I get a chance to deploy it more often

It works.
I use this to use my old 2012 macbook pro power cord with my 2018 macbook pro. It's clunky, like any dongle but it works. Leave a power cord at work and one at home.

Don't think this works with new MacBook Pro and Thunderbolt Display
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong or if there's something I need to do. Otherwise, the power seems to randomly disconnect and then reconnect (even though I'm not touching the adapter at all). I have this plugged into a brand new MBP from my Thunderbolt Display.It's extra annoying as, because I leave my MacBook closed as it's "docked" with the Thunderbolt Display, this power cycle basically puts the computer to sleep briefly and requires a 5 second pause to switch the monitor back on. It also causes me to have to reenter my password to unlock the MacBook.If I'm doing something wrong....or if this particular adapter is simply a dud and needs to be replaced, please let me know and I'll be happy to change my review. Otherwise, this is pretty unusable.

Inconsistent charging.
This adapter usually takes a few tries, seating and unseating the magsafe connection, to get it charging -- and when it is charging the green light on the magsafe never activates. It'll often just stop charging without my realizing it, and then I suddenly notice my battery is at 10% right before I need to go somewhere! I also noticed right away that the magsafe seat in not aligned square in the device. Sloppy construction. Returning it! (Also, big shoutout to Apple for creating a lot of waste by eliminating a charging port that was better/safer than the new one.)
