Digital camera reviews of All-in-One Travel Power Plug Adapter for US, UK, EU, AU
Digital camera Review: Works as designed ...
Summary: 5 Stars
Works as designed, great price and compact for travel. It is not a power converter, but works great as an adaptor to the various outlets. Generally, the power converters don't work - esp. for the higher amp loads (hair dryers etc.). If you are looking for that my suggestion is to get units that will accomodate the different voltages rather than getting a converter.Digital camera Review: Good option
Summary: 4 Stars
Easy to use, robust body, works almost for all kind of power socket.
Only thing it have only one power out-late pin slot (one to one), would be gr8 if it had many pin slots (one to many).
Digital camera Review: Don't buy this product
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't buy this product. It is useless. The lead locks doesn't work. Does not fit firmly in power socket. Waste of money.Digital camera Review: not worth the money or grief
Summary: 1 Stars
I bought one of these since i travel every month or more to Europe and needed something that would fit in European outlets. the first one I bought was very unreliable and did not keep a connection unless i taped the device to the outlet. I returned it and got a new one, but the new one was just as bad. It worked sometimes, sometimes not. After having to use shims and tape too many times, I threw it out. This plug is clever, but very cheaply made and is probably a fire hazard as well since several times it shot out a lot of sparks when I was plugging it into a socket.
Digital camera Review: Works great, can't beat the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this adapter for a trip to Sweden and it worked great for my purposes. Others have already mentioned this, but it is worth repeating that this item is NOT a voltage reducer, it is simply a plug adapter. All of the chargers I planned on using with this adapter accepted voltages from 100-240 volts, so this was not an issue for me, but make sure to check your chargers/appliances to see if they will accept voltages higher than the usual United States voltage of 110 volts.
The only items I needed to charge with this adapter on my trip were my camera battery, electric shaver, and iPod, and it worked great for these devices. Others have mentioned problems with keeping the appropriate prongs extended from the adapter (some of the prongs have locking mechanisms to keep them extended), but I found the device to be rather intuitive and not difficult to manage at all.
After we arrived in Sweden I noticed that many tourist shops there sold this exact same device for about 10 times the cost of what you will pay on Amazon, so save yourself some money and buy this beforehand!
