did not work

Reviewed by Planet, 2010-02-03

on my last trip my friend had one she bought on the plane and it worked great. I bought this one recently, went overseas and it did not work... then came back and found out that the return window had expired... so basically paid for something that didn't work and can't even get my money back on top of the huge inconvenience given I hadn't brought with many the many adapters I used to carry with me... very, very unhappy!!!

Perfect and Compact

I have been using this style of plug adapter for years, and find them to work perfectly wherever I am at. To the reviewer who claims your grounded plugs will not work in this device, I can only tell you that I have not had any issue with my grounded plugs fitting into this device. The ground plug fits into the slot on the bottom. I have at least three of these in my computer bag, and use them all over the world without any issue whatever.

Get Extra Fuses if you can

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.

No problems

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.

Mechanical Challenges

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.
