Summary: easy to travel with, great product
Comment: its pretty obvious that this is an adapter NOT a converter. different products use different wattages, and if you dont pay attention to what your trying to plug in, then you probably deserve to have your iron or hair dryer blow out! watch the watts, and know what you can and can not safely plug in.

i only used this to do the basics. charge my phone, my camera, my laptop. and for that, this product did a PERFECT JOB. its also easy to know which one to use with the slide out plug, so you cant mix it up. also there are no small pieces to lose like with other products, so this is a no brainer! its small, light, easy to use, cheap, and easy to travel with.

if you need other things like irons and hair dryers, then you should stay at a hotel that provides them for you. next thing you know, someone will leave a negative review because they took their hdtv with them, and blew it out!

Summary: Worked great for three months straight
Comment: I spent three months in the UK, France, and Hungary and used this constantly to power my laptop and occasionally other items I had brought from the US. It worked great and was extremely convenient. You don't have to worry about using the various plugs that other adapters have as separate pieces. It's all contained and a reasonable size. Highly recommended.

Summary: Crap
Comment: This thing is crap. Fuse blew 1st time I tried to use it. Couldn't find a fuse for it til I returned to the US. Found a cheap adapter in a London luggage shop which worked perfectly. Skip this one.

Summary: Works great for me, no pieces to loose.
Comment: This adapter works great for me plugging my notebook and other items in Ireland and the UK.

I've bought several travel adapters, but always loose the little pieces in about 45 seconds... So the all-in-one feature (1 piece, no additional pieces) works absolutely perfectly for me and I'll never consider anything else.

I've read a few people mention something about it not working because of the third prong. I'm not 100% sure what they're talking about, but the device DOES have a hole for a third (ground) prong for U.S. devices. and probably non-US devices (I only tried US devices.) You CAN plug in a device with a third prong, and you can plug this device into outlets requiring a third prong as well.

However, it is a no-connect meaning the third prong doesn't really do anything except allow the plug to physically fit into the device or the adapter into the wall. I suppose this is not ideal (a connected third prong would have been better) however in actual fact everything I tried on it worked perfectly. I've tried 3 notebooks (an older HP notebook, A brand new HP notebook, and a new MacBook) as well as a variety of chargers and routers and they all work, at least in Ireland and the U.K. Perhaps there are some devices that don't work with a nonconnected third prong but I haven't found any yet.

I don't want to flame other reviewers (perhaps they have found combinations that do not work for some reason), but rather am just relaying my experience, which is that everything I have tried works everywhere I tried it, and I'm even a gadget guy!

I am now ordering the white travel adapter (different manufacturer) which seems to have the same basic features as this one but is 1/2 the price... I'll let everyone know how it compares to this one!
