Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter
Customer Review: lightweight travel essential
Summary: 4 Stars
I owned this product previously. I bought it before i moved to Paris in 2006 for my laptop. It was great but due to overuse i suppose the plug become worn for the France adapter. Then my young cousin borrowed it and broke it. The sliding mechanism broke and was unable to slide back into itself in order to use another country.
However, now in 2009, back from living in New Zealand, I needed an adapter to charge the camera I had bougth there. It works great. I will be just a little more careful with this one.
The great thing about it is that it is not heavy at all , like other adapters.
Customer Review: Have visited 140 countries. This works in 98% of them and also accepts three prong grounded plugs!
Summary: 5 Stars
I travel for the US government and to say that I am a road warrior is putting it mildly. I have used this adapter in many countries on every continent and it is an extremely RARE occurrence when it won't fit into an outlet. I have also noticed many reviews claiming that this adapter cannot be used with a three-prong grounded plug. Funny, since I am typing this review on my laptop that uses three prongs and is plugged into this Kensington adapter. Maybe those that complain should look closer. This road warrior recommends this product most highly. It is one of the best purchases I have ever made!Customer Review: Works in South Korea
Summary: 5 Stars
After reading the "doesn't work with 3 prongs" by Mark Rosenthal I almost didn't get it. I don't have any 3 prong electronics, but I didn't want to be unable to buy something with 3 prongs. I got it anyway, I couldn't find anything that specifically listed my destination (South Korea) as compatible and I'm so glad I bought this. It works in Korea. I'm working with GEPIK and teaching here for a year, I also plan to travel to Laos, India, Japan, and Malaysia so I'm glad this is supposed to work virtually everywhere.
Since I'll be here a while, I just wish I'd bought at least 2 or 3.
Customer Review: Not a voltage converter
Summary: 2 Stars
This is a nice plug adapter but it's NOT a voltage converter. My laptop, camera and gadget chargers worked excellent with 220 volts. I wasn't so lucky with my wife's curling iron and hair dryer. Telling her she looks great is no substitute, so be sure to double check her gadgets too.
Some European lamp outlets are recessed into the wall, so the plug will be seated flush instead of sticking out. They are elegant and beautiful, but too small for this plug adapter.
Finally, bring a power stip unless you want to move the hotel furniture each time you change a plug.
Customer Review: Worked great in Italy
Summary: 5 Stars
So this item is an adapter, not a voltage converter. Make sure your device supports 220v before using it in Europe. All devices are required to have that label on them somewhere. It will say something like 110v ~ 220v or similar if both voltages are supported. Most battery chargers and that kind of thing will work for both, so all you need is this adapter.
This adapter worked great. It's compact and very functional. I used it so I could charge my camera batteries while I was in Italy. I had no problems. I even lent it to my friend whose adapter was not working.
