Is the Manhattan Universal AC Laptop Charger worth it?

At $23.99 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026, it is a cheap spare or travel charger. It makes sense if your laptop needs 65 W or less and you want one brick for several machines. It is not a substitute for a high-wattage gaming or workstation adapter.

Will it charge my laptop?

It covers laptops needing 15, 18.5, 19, 19.5 or 20 V at up to 4 A, which is 65 W or less. Check your laptop's original adapter voltage and wattage on its label. Gaming laptops and mobile workstations often need 90 W or more and will charge slowly or not at all.

Does it charge a phone or tablet over USB-C?

It has USB-C charging ports, but the listing does not state USB Power Delivery wattage. Expect basic charging speeds for phones and small accessories. Do not count on fast-charging a USB-C laptop through those ports.

Yes, if you swap the detachable C7 US cord for a local EU or UK cord. The charger itself accepts universal input voltage. You still need the right wall plug for the country.

What comes in the box?

You get the charger, nine convertible plug tips and a detachable 5 ft US AC power cable. The output cord with the tips is built in and about 4 ft long.

The current $23.99 at Walmart as of November 4, 2026 is already near the bottom of its recent range across 8 stores. Universal chargers like this rarely see deep discounts, so waiting for a big drop is unlikely to pay off.
