Customer Review: Sorry I didn't purchase more!
Summary: 4 Stars
I have just returned from a week's stay in England, but before I left, I had read as many reviews as possible on the various brands of travel adaptors and after a good deal of consideration, decided to go with this one and a Samsonite as well. I figured that if one didn't work, the other one hopefully would. I am happy to report that this one performed just as many other reviewers have expressed, whereas the Samsonite will be returned to Amazon ASAP for it proved useless to me. I ended up using this adaptor for not only my mobile phone, but my Bluetooth charger, my Palm PDA charger and most of all -- when I was out for the day -- as a charger for my new Toshiba netbook! (Side Note: Another Amazon reviewer praised it as a nice little surge protector for the price; they were absolutely right).
Although I recalled previous reports on this item, it still took a bit to sort out how to expand the UK portion, but once I got that in hand, things were fine. (I had been reading the instructions, but it still took a few minutes to figure it out, and thankfully, I tried it BEFORE leaving on vacation, in case I needed to replace it).
I also noted -- and I'm uncertain if others have had this problem -- that if I "shoved" the adaptor completely into the UK plug, the red indicator light would not turn on. I was already cursing under my breath, thinking that I was now going to be forced to purchase another in London; so I tried wiggling it a little and pulling it forward, and the light began to glow. After that incident, I never pushed the adaptor entirely into the main plug, so you might wish to keep this in mind should you have a problem with it turning on and see if that helps.
My biggest regret is that I didn't buy more of these, as having only one (and also the useless Samsonite) meant I had to rotate what was charged. Therefore during the day, the netbook got the full treatment, and in the evening, after a full day of touring, the mobile and the PDA got theirs. In the end it all worked out, but had I purchased a couple of more, that slight problem would have been prevented.
I likely won't be able to return to England for a few more years, but here's hoping this product will still be around for then. Or...maybe I'll just go ahead and buy a couple of more while I can! It would be worth it believe me.
