Replaced a broken charger
It’s now charged up my son’s battery quad bike as the old charger had broken. I thought that I’d never find a replacement- but this has made both me and my boy happy.

Poor quality
Pretty poor. Will be returning it as it was faulty. Quality seems poor and I just don’t trust it.

Excellent little Voltage Adaptor.
I bought the "Masterplug Voltage Adaptor" to power my Skywatcher Telescope's tracking motor (to save me having to recharge batteries all the time. It works perfectly! Straight out of the box! It has a good clear instruction book, a selection of adaptors to fit various motor control systems. It also has a good range of voltage choices - all clearly marked. My only critiscism is the the two pin adapter plugs (which plug into the main lead from the voltage adaptor are not ver clearly marked with regard to indicating how to choose between postive and negative central connections pin. This part is black plastic and the + and - marks are in black - which is difficult to see even in bright daylight. THIS PART IS IMPORTANT! As you may know, if the polarity is connected wrongly and the unit is switched on you will very likely irrepairably damage the application you are connecting the Voltage regulator to. INSTRUCTIONS ARE GIVEN IN THE INSTRUCTION BOOK, SO DO READ THE INSTRUCTION BOOK BEFORE CONNECTING THE VOLTAGE REGULATOR TO ANY EQUIPEMENT!! Other than this small (but vitally important) issue, I would thoroughly recommend the Voltage Regulator (from Argos) as the perfect solution to save one using battereis all the time.

Avoid at all costs
Do not buy this item it is the cheapest plug you will ever find. I got this opened the box in the car moved the switch to test it and it broke in my hands. Poorly made and low quality product I didn’t replace as I was concerned about the quality so I would avoid at all costs :)

Great features
I bought this for a dab radio from a charity shop which didn't have an adapter. Works well and will save on batteries. Very useful to have different voltage and adapters so will be able to use on other things if needed.

Hi Dimbus, thank you for your enquiry.
As previously advised, our current generation of MVA1200 (our code for this adaptor) has a cable length of:-
1.75m
The tip sizes are (from smallest to jack-plug):-
2.35 x 0.75mm;
3.5 x 1.35mm;
4.0 x 1.7mm;
5.0 x 1.5mm;
5.5 x 2.1mm;
5.5 x 2.5mm;
and a 3.5mm jack plug.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Kenny, thank you for your enquiry.
Without knowing the power requirements of your tyre compressor all we can advise is that the voltage adaptor voltage and current outputs are 3V, 4.5V, 5V = 1200 mA (max load of device to be powered) 6V, 9V = 1000 mA (max load of device to be powered) 12V = 900 mA (max load of device to be powered.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello there,
Yes, this Masterplug Voltage Adapter has a 12V output setting, but it is completely unsuitable and dangerous to use for a notebook laptop.
Thank you for using Q&A.
Hi CC, thank you for your enquiry.
This transformer takes UK/European mains voltage (220-250V AC) and converts it down to 12, 9, 6, 5, 4.5 or 3V DC with varying currents from 900mA to 1.2A.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Dan, thank you for your enquiry.
The internet suggests this radio requires 2A, so as the voltage adaptor voltage and current outputs are 3V, 4.5V, 5V = 1200 mA (max load of device to be powered) 6V, 9V = 1000 mA (max load of device to be powered) 12V = 900 mA (max load of device to be powered) the radio will _not_ be a suitable load device for it.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hello Vinner,
The Masterplug Voltage Adapter is rated for a maximum current of 1.2 amps, so it is not suitable for a device requiring a 2.1-amp connection.
Thanks for using Q&A
Hi James, thank you for your enquiry.
The internet has mixed opinions about how much power your Bose soundlink mini 1st gen requires, so all we can advise is that the voltage adaptor voltage and current outputs are 3V, 4.5V, 5V = 1200 mA (max load of device to be powered) 6V, 9V = 1000 mA (max load of device to be powered) 12V = 900 mA (max load of device to be powered).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Anxrewhez, thank you for your enquiry.
The internet says this monitor requires a 3 x 1.1mm plug and 19V output at 3.42A.
None of these requirements fall within the scope of this multi-voltage adaptor, so the monitor is _not_ suitable for use with it.
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Shaz, thank you for your enquiry.
That will depend on the power requirements of the Nintendo product in question.
The adaptor can output 3V, 4.5V, 5V = 1200 mA (max load of device to be powered) 6V, 9V = 1000 mA (max load of device to be powered) 12V = 900 mA (max load of device to be powered).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
Hi Dee, thank you for your enquiry.
This adaptor is designed to create a stable low DC output voltage from a standard UK mains AC input, with the output voltage selectable between several pre-set options via a slider on the lower part of the outer face (as seen in the main image on this listing).
Hope this helps and thank you for your purchase.
