Customer Review: Worked for my UK External Hard Drive
Summary: 4 Stars
I recently was shipped an external hard drive from the UK. But the power adapter did not include US-style plugs (type A). And I live in the US. This handy travel plug adapter plugs into any of 4 different plug styles, and most important for me, it accepts all of them as well! So I can plug this into US-style plugs and plug UK appliances into it and vice-versa. The travel plug adapter does not alter the properties of the power signal, so I expect the appliance's adapter has to be nimble enough to accept either 110 or 220, but in this case my external hard drive did just fine.Customer Review: Does NOT work in China
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this for a trip to China to charge cameras and batteries which do not require a voltage converter. Chinese receptacles require a three prong plug. The top prong is longer than the lower two angled prongs and actually opens the 'doors' for the lower prongs to enter the receptacle. This adapter only has the lower two prongs. Why not state that this adapter will work in all countries except China and ......
Fortunately, the hotels we stayed in loaned us converters so we could charge our equipment.
Will not buy Kensington product again.
Customer Review: Not for New Zealand
Summary: 3 Stars
The blurb says that this works for over 150 countries, so I called tech support who couldn't tell me a thing (other than the weather in Delhi). Even so, based on their promise of a money back guarantee, I bought it and set off for New Zealand & Fiji. The bottom line is that the adapter worked except when I encountered the miniature version of a Kiwi wall plug. Also, all the plugs in the adapter are *non* grounded. If you need grounded versions for you computer etc. it is best to look in the country you travel to. I couldn't find any in the US at all.Customer Review: loved it
Summary: 5 Stars
used 2 of these while we were on vacation in egypt for 3 weeks. Never had a problem and they were flawless. To the gent that noted they fell out of the socket on him and they were to big...I can only say if you don't push them all the way in they and any other device you use will fall out...and there big because they can be used in th EU, Japan, Africa, US, ect... if you wish to spend the money on an all inclusive solution and travel to various parts of the world...then this is a good choice rather than having a hodge podge of adaptors lying about.Customer Review: Careful for the fine print!
Summary: 4 Stars
Read the fine print on this -- this product does not convert or reduce electrical voltage -- essentially what this does is provide a physical way for (insert your country's) plug to fit into (insert destination country's) plug. So if the country you are visiting runs on, say, 220, make sure that the device you want to plug into it can handle the 220 volts so that it doesn't blow up -- and that information will (typically) be handily located on the device itself (i.e., look at the small print on your phone charger, and see if it says 100-240V 50-60Hz)
