Toys and Games Reviews of Vtech - V.Smile Adapter
Customer Review: Not impressed
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this adapter to save myself from having to buy C batteries to keep my kids v.smile going. I wish I had just stuck with the batteries, they really do last for quite a while. This adapter doesn't seem to fit snugly enough into the v.smile system. My daughter is constantly coming to tell me her v.smile won't turn on. The solution? Jiggling the adapter into the back of the v.smile. For 9.99 I shouldn't have to jiggle the plug every 10 mintues!Customer Review: Get a generic adaptor instead of the V Smile one
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought a universal adaptor at a "big box" electronics store at the same time I bought the V Smile game unit. The information is on the V Smile box and the game unit itself so you know which plug size to use. We've had both the adaptor and game unit for a year now with no problems at all, and my kids play it a LOT. I highly recommend an adaptor over the batteries -- if your kids like to play this, they will burn through batteries VERY fast!Customer Review: Compatible Adaptors
Summary: 5 Stars
If this adaptor is out of stock, or if you don't want to pay $10-$12, here are the specs that will let you find a generic or universal adaptor that will work:
This adaptor is 9 volts, 300 mAh, with a 5.5mm x 2.5mm adaptor with positive polarity (the center pole is positive).
If you shop around, you should be able to find a universal adaptor for as little as $7, or generic adaptors for under $5.
Customer Review: Piece of junk
Summary: 1 Stars
We bought the V-Smile for our 4 year old daughter for Christmas, and she plays it all the time. However, after going through so many batteries, I searched everywhere for this adaptor. It was great for awhile, but now it hardly ever works. I've found that if I unplug it from the back and blow into it, it fixes the problem, but only half the time. I guess we'll go back to changing batteries once a week.Customer Review: Well needed
Summary: 5 Stars
I read the other reviews about this adapter, people saying that it didn't work, but so far I've had no problems with it. It's definitely worth the $$ you will save in buying batteries for the VSmile.
You can probably find a similar adapter at a Radio Shack or electronics store, but then you have to go searching for it and find someone to help you in a crowded store.
