Within 24 hours from receiving this charger it nearly burnt my house down. If it hadn’t been for my roommates who were home at the time that it began filling my livignroom with smoke, I would have arrived home from work to a burning house. The battery center, who I purchased this from, has been very understanding and gave me a full refund and did not require me to send the product back.
BEWARE- Unless you are trying to start a fire, just order your charger from the manufactor. I was happy to pay Dell’s $80 to get a charger that won’t ignite my home.
Nothing like the picture shown. Very short in length (around 6 feet), no fasteners for the cord, and my outlets tend to spark whenever I try to plug this thing in…
On the plus side it does power my Inspiron 6000, and is one of the cheapest adapters that I found online. I guess the lesson here is “you get what you pay for.”
Aside from the misleading photo, no complaints with the seller

I first ordered this at the end of October to replace my wife’s lost dell cord. The Dell replacement version is $60. I thought I would try this.
In less than a month, the cord from the adapter to the outlet shorted out at the point where it plugged into the adapter.
We contacted be email, and customer service was quick to replace this part. Now here I am again with the same problem in less than a month.
I would not buy this item.
