The price was a great deal but it caused my TF201 touch screen to behave erratically when I used it while I was charging. It would cause the wrong letters or numbers to appear when typing and extra ones also. The company I purchased it from promptly sent a replacement but it exihibited the same behavior. It may charge properly and it does turn on the charge indicator but something obviously is wrong since the original ASUS charger does not do this. This may be a common design flaw since I ordered a couple of spare cables to use with the original ASUS charging unit and one of the cables caused the same behavior while the other one didn't. Like I said, it may charge properly and may be fine if you never plan to use your device while you charge it but its not a risk I'm willing to take.

Like hundreds of other TF101 users in many Transformer Forums, my Asus Power Adapter stopped working a mere 3 months after getting my Tablet. I tried all the "freeze the brick" tricks, etc., and none of them worked. Instead of packing my Tablet and Adapter and sending them both Asus and wait for weeks, I decided to order this adapter.
For the most part, the adapter charges my TF 101, well. Actually, it charges REALLY quickly, which I like. The downside though is that I'm not able to use the tablet while charging, unless I'm watching netflix, as the touch controls get really crazy while charging. To some this is a BIG negative, as the OEM adapter allows you to use the tablet while charging. For me, I take the 1/2 hour to an hour to charge my tablet and then use it. It's not a big deal to me.
Honestly, I would give the charger a 4 star, BUT, since the lack of tablet usage while charing may be a big negative for most, I took a star off.
I guess I got what I payed for and for me that was just fine as I was absolutely NOT going to pay $50 for another charger, just to have it possibly go out on me again like the original.
| UPDATE 1/23/13 |
After having the charger for less than half a year, I have noticed that the rubber connector that connects the cord to the power brick has begun to seperate, exposing the wires. This can be easily remedied by wrapping the area in electrical tape. Effective, but not cosmetic. I'll still leave the review at 3 stars, becuase I still like the product and it charges really quickly....

As some other reviewers have posted, the item powers the tablet ok but in my case when I am using my tablet and plug it in to charge the whole screen just freezes and you can't do anything about it. So, if you are ok just using it to charge by itself and then using the tablet, then it'll work, otherwise get the original.
