Digital camera reviews of Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter
Digital camera Review: Extremely Useful in India
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought two of these so that I could could use electronics purchased from USA without any hassle (eg. Laptop / Camcorder / Camera chargers) without any hassle.
One of the biggest pros:
If you have noticed, sometimes plugs go into sockets in only one way, that's because one of the pins has slightly rounded edges. These plugs dont work with most adapters that you might find in India. The Kensington adapter came very useful in such a situation.
Input Voltage Range: 110-220V
Frequency in India is 60 Hz. So I would say the Input Frequency range is 50-60 Hz.
Con:
Doesnt have a USB port. This feature may or may not be important to you depending on the device you wish to charge.
Overall, the device functions as stated.
Digital camera Review: Failed in less than a week
Summary: 2 Stars
This unit looks great, but it does not accept 3-prong US so it's not very useful for a laptop power supply and not only that, but it also failed to function about halfway through a 2-week European trip, meaning I needed to replace it at the airport. Neither convenient or well made enough to stand up for a single trip.Digital camera Review: Fuse pops all the time
Summary: 1 Stars
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...Digital camera 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.
Digital camera Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
Product works fine and seems durable. I don't think they could make the product any smaller and still manage all of the various outlet types. They may have been able to better offset the European prongs so the whole device slides into the circular recepticals.
