Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of AC Power Adaptor for Nintendo Wii Console
Customer Review: It works great
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this power supply so I could easily move my WII from one room to another. I was nervous since the Wii is new, but it works great.Customer Review: Works fine, cable a little short
Summary: 4 Stars
This product is great and does what it's supposed to do, though the cable is shorter than the original AC Adapter.Customer Review: works, just not as nicely as original
Summary: 3 Stars
if you're reading these reviews, you've discovered the unfortunate tendency for your wii's power station to turn into a brick at the slightest provocation (power surge, storm, whatever), and you have to do something about it or risk never being able to play mario kart again. well, for 6 bucks-ish, this will certainly do the trick. plugs right in to your wii without a hitch, no compatibility issues at all (note, i'm in the US and so is my wii, so i won't be commenting on the debate in some other reviews about what voltage this actually works with. it works fine on standard us household current).
however, some of those other reviews that complain about static on the big screen? dead on. the static isn't so bad that it obscures what you're doing or makes it at all difficult to play games or watch netflix movies, but it is noticeable as is a decline in output picture quality in general (fortunately, it's most noticeable on the white-background wii home screen, and much less so on moving/colorful game or movie images). it's now kind of like you're watching an analog signal on your digital big screen tv. is it due to poor (cheap) shielding? some of those voltage compatibility issues? do i need to just move it around to find "the sweet spot" as though it was a rabbit-ear antenna? the world may never know. but hey, for $6ish, mario kart & netflix work again.
Customer Review: Not so great with large screen plasma
Summary: 3 Stars
This product works fine on our smaller television. But it causes 'static' on our large screen plasma. The static is bad enough that we simply could NOT use this power adaptor with our large Plasma. We switched back to The original Wii Power adapter that came with our Wii and that one does NOT cause any static on our large screen Plasma. Hope this helps.Customer Review: Price is right, works as promised

My Wii power converter died when I had a power outage, luckily the replacement (from Eforcity) was cheap. Was worried it might not be stable (the voltage/current) but works just like the factory original. Hope it lasts a few years like the original.
