The issue I was encountering echoed what many are saying in the reviews:
- When working, it never achieved full 65W charging or even anywhere near it. Max wattage at any given time hovered between 45W-52W.
- All of the blocks eventually exhibited the following behavior - plug it in, it works initially and LED status light turns blue. Then after 30 seconds it goes off. Only way to fix it, is to unplug it and plug it back in. Same problem though.
All of these eventually burn out. Compared to other blocks, these are just plain garbage. I ended up getting a bunch of Insignia charging blocks from a best buy sale. All of them are still going strong and are used daily
Example review:
"The charging block stopped working properly after about 2 months of usage. I'm using it to charge a MacBook. It is advertised as having ample power (65W) compared to the OEM charging block (30W) but whenever it's plugged in the power feed is intermittent, switching on and off every few seconds. When I switch back to the Apple charging block the charging works fine. Overall, I was disappointed by the quick failure and no obvious way to find a replacement or return the product."

The Amazon one is:
PRO: Slightly cheaper than the Staples one, but CONS has only one Port vs 3x for the Staples one, AND the Staples one comes with a 4' cord, where you have to supply/buy your own cord with the Amazon one.
For me, the Staples one was a better deal, especially since I paid with Staples Reward $$.
