Customer Reviews

It DOES work on 3-pronged (grounded) plugs, and everywhere

Review by Alfred E. Guy Jr., 2010-07-24

I've used this adaptor to run my laptop in China, France, Italy, England, and Ireland. Although it's made of plastic and feels a little fragile, it's really quite hardy and it's worked like a charm in every location. I've purchased several as gifts and always been treated as a hero afterwards.

One popular (and funny) one-star review on here claims that the adaptor doesn't work with grounded plugs. That's 100% wrong. It works with them in a hotel, it works with them in a motel. It worked with them in France, and when I used it to iron my pants. (Well to plug in my iron, anyway.) I've never used it on a boat, but it helped my computer write a note.

Okay so I'm not as funny as he is. But this thing really works.

Fuse pops all the time

Review by Paul F., 2010-05-22

Nice idea; slick item. But, the fuse pops all the time (very normal / basic use like charging a laptop). Unfortunately, this makes this adapter completely unreliable and useless. You do not want to find yourself in a foreign country having to look for a replacement fuse...

Low power only,

Review by James R. Mills, 2010-05-17

This adapter is very convenient but won't work with hair dryers or medium to heavy power users. It has a 2.5 amp fuse. I plugged a hair dryer into it and the fuse blew immediately. That is it can only handle up to 275 watts at most.

Great adaptor, good price

Review by Ciaran Harrison, 2010-05-09

I have several of these adaptors and I always carry two of them when I travel, I have yet to find a country where they wouldn't work

Travel Adapter

Review by Michael Caronia, 2010-05-03

Wasn't sure what i would need for a trip from the US to Peru. Read a review on this travel adapter. it worked out wonderfully. no problems for lower wattage items (computers, ipods, etc.). not for use with higher wattage items such as hair dryers and such. very easy to use. does not convert voltage, so make sure your appliance can take the higher voltage (it usually is written right on the appliance, something like 110/220 V). Small and light for travel. perfect.
