Customer Review: The last worldwide power adapter you will need
Summary: 5 Stars
This product is beyond simple in intent. It's a one-stop solution to power adapters in one easy device. Two sets of prongs cover every country's power outlets...the flat prongs being easily rotated to accomodate slanted outlet holes. And there's a widget that stays inside the unit for use for the UK. When one looks at this device, the first thought might be, "Well, there's not much here," and that's the whole idea. In this case, simple is good. Please note this is not a power converter. Buy this, throw it in your travel bag, and you won't need another converter...ever.Customer Review: Adapter works in India
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought this Universal AC Adapter along with the Monster MP OTG400 Outlets to Go Power Strip. They work very well together. I'm using both currently in India. However, I have one complaint. The manual says that the adapter locks into place when opened, but that didn't seem to happen at all. I have to use the adapter upside-down (facing upward) to use it effectively without it closing down or collapsing. Other than that it does its job well. I would recommend looking for a more sturdy adapter due to the problem mentioned above.Customer Review: Broke after one month...
Summary: 2 Stars
I brought this with me to Europe for the summer. It was working perfectly for one month. Then it broke. The problem is the flippable Euro prong portion of the adapter must have lost it's connection to the body of the adapter, due to constant flipping. Since I used it for my laptop, I must have flipped it at least one hundred times over the course of one month. But it still should not have broken so quickly. I had to scramble to find one in Germany. The only replacement I found had no ground, but it only cost me 2 euros.Customer Review: As advertised
Summary: 5 Stars
Works as advertised. Does NOT convert voltage, but provides an interface for multiple countries. Rugged and self-contained so it was easy to fold up, toss in the bag, and not worry about loose parts or broken prongs. Make sure your devices can take 110-240 and then buy this with confidence. Also make sure to read the specs carefully -- it does not (and is not supposed to) work in certain countries. On my recent trip, I used it in London, Stockholm, and Oslo. It was not compatible with outlets in Edinburgh.Customer Review: Does not work in all UK outlets
Summary: 3 Stars
UK seems to use several different outlet types. Sometimes the fork would unlock it, but not always.
The europlug side of this device worked just fine.
Also BE CAREFUL. This is an adapter ONLY, not a converter. Make sure the device you plug in supports either 120 or 240, or you may fry something. Electronics are USUALLY safe, but read on the adapter. Hair dryer would be a very bad idea!
