Customer Reviews

compact, comes with cable designed for Sansa e200 series
I haven't had to use this item much since purchasing it a few months ago, but so far it has worked well. It charges my Sansa e280 as quickly as connecting the player to a computer USB port. I particularly liked that this came with the proper cable to connect the power supply to the player so I don't have to worry about losing the cable that came with the Sansa if I accidentally leave this somewhere.

What's puzzling about this product as well as many other accessories for the Sansa e200 line is that supplies seem to be extremely limited. I ended up buying the only remaining black Vizor in a local store because Amazon initially had it as a "preorder" for a long time and then had it listed at a ridiculously high price once they claimed to have it. This power supply was offered at a good price when it first came out, but now it seems like it's only available from Marketplace sellers at a significantly higher price. I don't know whether this lack of availability and erratic pricing is within Amazon's control, but it is a little frustrating that Amazon is carrying so few of the available accessories for the Sansa e200 series line of players when they have each of the players in that line available for sale at a significant discount.

Just What I Was Looking For!
I purchased this USB AC charger for my Sansa e250. It came with a USB cable to connect to the Sansa MP3 player. There is a LCD light on the charger and it lights up when plugged into an outlet. Charging time is quick. You can also listen to the MP3 player while charging - a big plus compared to charging with a PC.

Into the trash...
The Macally charger worked fine the first couple of times I used it.

Most recently--when I plugged it in--I got a message on my Sansa e280's screen, something about the battery being incapable of being charged.

I don't have any problems charging my Sansa with SanDisk or Griffin brand AC chargers, nor with my SanDisk base station. No error messages; all of these work fine.

Would no longer dare plugging in the Macally charger...if it "thinks" my battery is defective (when these other products don't complain), I don't trust what effect it might have on the player.

I've had the same issue (others have mentioned) with the cable falling out. Not that it matters, for a charger I'll never again be using.
