Customer Review: OK
Summary: 3 Stars
I did not realize that a plug adapter does not also adapt voltage. I'm not sure why someone would need one without the other. So I thought that the price of this was extremely reasonable, but quickly found out that I needed to purchase a voltage adapter to use with it. The plug itself is light and will travel well (we have not used it yet) but for others who may not realize this themselves, you will need to buy a voltage converter if you are traveling to another country that uses 220 volts.Customer Review: think twice
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this item for my trip to China. It did not work. Luckily the hotels that we stayed in had an adapter we could use. I called Kensington about my adapter, and they said I could return it and would refund my money since they have a 90 day return policy. I bought the adapter in September and sent it certified mail within their time frame. This is currently January and have not heard from them. My advise to those thinking of using it for China. Don't waste your money on this item.Customer Review: Not useable with USA 3 prong plug like a lap top plug
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought this to use with my USA lap top - which has a 3 prong plug- something pretty standard and it only takes a US plug with two prongs. So I'm currently traveling outside the USA and cannot charge my lap top using this. Have to buy another over here. This travel adapter is completely useless. Nothing in the product description makes it clear that you are unlikely to be able to use this for a lap top. Misleading- only useable with my cell phone cable! A complete waste of money!Customer Review: CRAP
Summary: 1 Stars
As someone else stated, WILL NOT WORK WITH 3 PRONGED, GROUNDED PLUGS. How ridiculous. Of course, my laptop's ac adapter has three prongs, like many others, so it will not work with this. Also, when traveling abroad, the trick is to bring a power bar so you can plug in multiple devices at once, where only one travel adapter is needed for the power bar itself. Unfortunately, most all power bars have 3 Prongs, so it won't work with them either.
Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.
Customer Review: Get Extra Fuses if you can
Summary: 1 Stars
I was in Europe with this adapter and the internal fuse blew. Guess what, I could not find another fuse for it ANYWHERE and ended up buying a cheap adapter at the hotel. As large as this product is there should be an extra fuse (at least 1) in another compartment somewhere.
Plus, as noted in other reviews it will not accept 3 prong plugs.
Once I came home I tried to find a replacement fuse,still no luck. Threw the unit away.
Not recommended.
