4 out of 5 stars No problems   November 12, 2009
Brent Haag (Shawnee, KS)
I purchased this for a trip to Switzerland and it worked fine.

I will caution you that it does accepted a plug with a ground, but it does not provide a ground to any of the adapter plugs it contains...not sure why they designed it that way.



2 out of 5 stars Mechanical Challenges   November 11, 2009
Andrew J. Trefethen (Saratoga Springs, Utah USA)
The form factor on this gem is fantastic! However, the adapter will not accept a three prong, grounded plug. The plug will go in after using much force. It worked fine for 2 insertions. After that, the internal fuse blew. The spare was used and the fuse blew again. Finally, I threw the adapter away. I would not recommend it to anyone who wants to use a grounded plug.


4 out of 5 stars good adapter with one issue   October 20, 2009
august west (new york United States)
This adapter worked fine recently in Europe. There is one potential issue for users - it will not accept a 3 pronged US grounded ac cord. If you want to use it with a grounded cord you will need a 3 to 2 prong adapter.


2 out of 5 stars Failed in less than a week   October 6, 2009
C. Covalucci (Tucson, AZ)
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.


3 out of 5 stars Hope this was merely defective   September 30, 2009
Barbara J. Moseley (Rock Hill, SC United States)
Bought this product for an exchange student from Germany living in my home. Was easy to use out of the box, but is no longer working after about 4 weeks. Will be returning for replacement.
