Toys and Games Reviews of Vtech - V.Smile Adapter
Customer Review: Adapter works well - check out the car charger too!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have a v-smile console and lots of cartridges, and purchased this AC adapter about a year ago as a way to cut down on batteries (although the batteries did seem to last a decent amount of time) and have had no problems with the adapter at all.
As another review said, this adapter is also made to work with the V-Smile Pocket. Also check out the V.Smile Pocket Car Charger which is made for use with the Pocket -- I recently purchased it to use in the car with the console that my sons use with our SUV's DVD entertainment system, and it works perfectly with the console unit as well.
Customer Review: Better off with a universal adapter
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought the V-Smile adapter for the 2 v-smile products that we have and were quite let down by it's quality. The first one quit working after a few days and we exchanged it for a new one only to have IT stop working after 2 weeks. I might add that it was well taken care of and never handled by our children. The third time around we bought a Coby CA-969 300ma Universal Adaptor (at a much nicer price of $3.00 @ Amazon) and have been really happy with it. We also use it for other things as it is Universal and comes with a bunch of adaptors. Bottom line: Save your $10.00 and go for a cheaper universal adaptor.Customer Review: Working perfect, perhaps bugs have been fixed?
Summary: 5 Stars
I read several older reviews that stated that the adapters quit working after some time. I ordered this 6 months ago and we have had no problems with it. Perhaps they have found what might have been causing them to stop working and fixed it?
I think it's definitely worth getting rather then paying for batteries. But I agree with others that it really should be included with the game system. I suppose they are doing the same thing computer printer companies do, by making people purchase the basic USB cord separate, so you can even plug it in to your computer.
Customer Review: Availabilty at local retail stores
Summary: 5 Stars
I've no real problem with the product, it's where you can find it that bothered me. The only place I found was at Toys R Us. None of the "BIG" stores even new what I was talking about. I got the same respose from 4 of the biggest retailers.
"No sir, we don't carry that, you either have to order it or use a universal adapter." If on the users manual it says they recommend we use The V-tech adapter, would it be a better merchandising move to have them at other stores besides ToysRUs?
I would like a response if this product is available somewhere else.
Customer Review: If you can't find this adapter
Summary: 5 Stars
This review is to help with this Adapter if you can't find it. I went to Radio Shack and they sell a 9V/300mA AC-to-DC Power Adapter. It's $14.00. It comes with 1 adaptaplug. Size O and size N will both seem to fit in the V-Smile, but only size N really fits. [...] It is Catalog # 273-1767. It works fine for the V-Smile. Good Luck to all and of course you can use the adapter for other V-tech products. Just bring it to radioshack and you can try all the various plugs to see which one you need.
