Digital camera reviews of All-in-One Travel Power Plug Adapter for US, UK, EU, AU
Digital camera Review: Cheap and it works!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had one of these already for a trip to Europe last year (which worked flawlessly) but needed another for a recent trip to Asia. Both were identical and come with all variations of plugs that I've had to use or seen. They are cheaper if you can wait and buy them elsewhere which source them directly from China... but alas, this was a last minute purchase and even with 1-day prime shipping, the cost still beat what I could get in a local brick & mortar.Digital camera Review: Cheap and useful
Summary: 4 Stars
Had no problems with my adapter, which I had to get at the last minute for a quick trip to London. Seems sturdy enough. Nice that it came in a little drawstring bag.Digital camera Review: Cheap quality but functional

This review is for usage in India; no idea about other countries.
Summary: if you are planning on using this in India only, there are other better products, designed for use in India.
I was taking a few electronic gifts (all with multivoltage 110-240v 50/60hZ but U.S. plug) to India and bought a few of these so that they can be used in India.
They worked fine, but did not have a perfect fit; wobbled a bit and so may not make contact all the time; you need to jiggle it a bit and find the right position to ensure contact.
At this low price, I don't have any complaints. Fine with low priced electronics (mostly 2 pin plugs; this does not provide ground, even though you can plug in three pin plugs; ground is just a dummy plastic pin).
However, for use with Laptops and other high priced gadgets, my preference is to use the Grounded plug adapters ("International Plug Adapter USA Female to India 16 Amp Grounded BS546 Male Plug" had a perfect fit and I just left it in the wall permanently).
My final conclusion is: if you are going to be using it India ONLY, then I would prefer the
"International Plug Adapter USA Female to India 16 Amp Grounded BS546 Male Plug" or similar grounded/fuse_protected plug.

Digital camera Review: Cheap, works
Summary: 5 Stars
I got this for very cheap, and it does exactly what I expected it to. Used it all over Europe and the UK. My friend bought a couple of these for about $20 each. I didn't want to tell him that I got mine for $2.Digital camera Review: Clever design but poor quality manufacturing
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased five of this item to use while overseas. The design idea is brilliant. One adapter plugs into anything and allows anything to plug into it. Flip a switch on one end and out pops a two prong standard American 110 plug; manually lift a two prong European style 220 plug, or flip a switch on the other end, and out pop three plugs for a UK designed 220 volt outlet. The front also receives all three style plugs. The problem is, one of the three UK plugs, the ground, is plastic (so there is no ground) and it swivels so it does not hold the unit tightly to the wall outlet. All three plugs seem slightly smaller than the standard size. I had to tape mine to the wall to keep it plugged in in every outlet I have tried. Mind you, I said I bought five. All five have the same design, all five have the same flaw. None will stay plugged into the wall using the UK plug after you plug something else into the front of the adapter. The price is ridiculously low for a product of this nature. I thought I found a bargain. Beware! There is a reason for the low price! Poor quality!
