Customer Review: Awesome travel adaptor.
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this for a trip to Israel in March of 2010, and am going to be use it again as I return next week. I LOVE this adapter. It is easy to use as there are no interchangeable parts, so there is nothing to lose or leave behind! I have recommended this to every one of my friends who has done overseas traveling, and they have either borrowed mine or bought their own and love it. I have not seen a system that is easier to use. My only complaint is that occasionally it will feel like the plug doesn't sit snugly in the wall, but I have never had a problem with it falling out or not charging because of it. I have sucessfully used this with my 3-prong laptop charger, as my boyfriend has with his, with no problems at all.Customer Review: Handy robust travel adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
We bought this as a replacement for a crappy TargusTargus PA033U Universal Power Travel Adapter that Amazon happily no longer stocks.
It is great, quite robust and very versatile. The rounded fully retractible form is a great plus since it doesn't snag or catch on loose cords, too.
Yes, there is a problem with three-pronged plugs, but frankly, it was nothing a screwdriver couldn't fix...there was even an indentation to guide you, I am a bit at a loss as to why they couldn't have done this in the shop but oh well, only took a minute.
Highly recommended, albeit BYO screwdriver ;)
Customer Review: This is the best adapter that I have ever owned or even seen!
Summary: 5 Stars
I travel internationally to somewhere between 15 to 20 countries per year. I love this adapter. It is compact and rugged. It has worked in every country that I have visited. It is easy to use the levers to move from one configuration of the adapter to another. My favorite feature is that this adapter is one piece. It is also light enough that it does not pull out of outlets. I was even pleased with the price. The ONLY negative is that occasionally the levers will stick and I will have to pull a lever in and then out to get it to change configurations. This is a very minor issue, but I thought I should mention it. I will buy this product again if my current one ever breaks.Customer Review: Stopped working after three minutes.

I bought this for a trip to Italy. My wife used it with her blow dryer for the first time and after about three minutes it died. For five days we thought it was her blow dryer. My wife was on the verge of trashing her dryer. We found out later that it was the adapter and not her dryer. We bought a really cheap adapter for two euros and she was able to use her blow dryer with out a problem for the rest of the trip. Since we took the instructions with us, and followed everything it said, I'm hoping we can return the product. We also double checked to make sure that the voltage on the dryer was set correctly.
I wouldn't waste my time or money on this product.
Customer Review: works as advertised, but could it be smaller?
Summary: 4 Stars
I brought it so far to Germany (Type C/F) Turkey (Type C/F), and Australia (Type-I). Used with Type-A (laptop adapter without the earthing prong) Worked without a problem. Just two (possibly unfair) complaints. (1) It is a bit too large (maybe not a problem for Americans). If it were made in Japan or Korea, it would be at least 100 times smaller. (2) It was not firmly stuck. Especially, if there is a switch near the plug, because the size is too large, the adapter conflicts with the switch and the switch prevents the adapter to be firmly stuck. But at least it worked so I do not complain. I would buy another one if it were smaller, but not.
