Sony AC-E45A Worldwide AC Power Adaptor

Summary: about to buy it
Review: This is the accessory AC Power supply that SONY (www.sonystyle.com) lists for its ICF M410V radio, which I have and like. The voltage is the same as the three AA batteries that radio uses. I assume that the polarity will be correct. It is not correct to assume that an adapter of appropriate voltage will work with other manufacturers' products; polarity/plug size likely will be incorrect. (How else to ensure incompatibility and force us to buy more stuff?) I have the 9-volt version of this adapter (came with Sony portable speakers). It works great, and I especially like that the blades of the plug fold in for packing (like Apple computer, Ipod adapters). All of them should do this.

Summary: works great
Review: This item works exactly as it says it does I pluged it into 110volt 50Hz power and it worked with my Prtable CD player and then I plugged it into a 220 volt 50Hz outlet and everything was exactly the same. no feedback or diferenciation in play speed or volume. the one complaint I have is that this is the recomernded accessory for my sony boom box but my sony boombox works on 9 volt output and this device has a 4.5 volt output! so while it works exactly as it is suposed to and is great for my diskman the reson i bought it (for its recomendation and clump sale) let me down and now I have to buy a seperate power adapter.

Summary: Caution
Review: Warning: I was about to buy this AC adapter for my grundig G-2000A radio. I thought I would check eBay first. The one listing on eBay had a better picture and it was clear from the diagram printed on the unit that the polarity is reversed. This will not work with my radio and Amazon says it will.

Summary: Works fine for recommened Sony radio
Review: We have a Sony ICF-M410V AM/FM/TV/Weather band radio [...], and this adaptor works fine with it. There's a little noise on the weaker AM stations, but it's not objectionable. We don't typically listen to AM radio anyway so it's not an issue for us. The other bands are clear with no added noise at all.
It's a little pricey, but comparable to the price of rechargeable batteries and a charger.
