 Does the JobOct 05, 2006
By Rumpusgoopus
It took me a long time to decide whether or not to buy this product since most of these converters/adapters have reviews stating that when they were used, sparks flew, there was a strong weird smell, or that it burned down the hotel. This product, at the time, only had the "piece of crap" review stating that you should buy a converter at your destination country (something which I think is a horrible idea. It took us a number of days just to find a battery operated clock in Ireland). I used this product in Ireland and Italy, and it worked great in both places, including both high and low wattage devices (i.e. curling iron and battery chargers).
Only once was there even a bit of an issue. One of the times I had it connected to a battery charger the converter seemed to get very hot. Because the batteries were done being charged by this point, I didn't leave it plugged in. As such, I still did not have any problems with this product.
If you do purchase any converter/adapter set for your travels abroad, you probably can't go wrong with this one.

Necessary plug adaptorNov 27, 2001
By Aaman Lamba
"Books, Art and Life"
This product is necessary for anyone either traveling abroad or purchasing products in the US for use abroad. This has a set of interchangeable plug fittings to convert the plugs at the end of your product wire from either flat to round plugs, and more. Power sockets around the world use different types of plugs and this product does the job for your electronic product - laptop/hair dryer/razor. It has surge protection built in. The cost is reasonable. The product comes with a 12 month parts warranty To get real value, also purchase the RCA Universal AC Adaptor - This is used to run battery powered components off 120V/variable DC output

Really works!Nov 08, 2005
By D. B. Parker
I bought this for a vacation I just took to Asia and it did the job fine. The first hotel I stayed at, the Holiday Inn in Manila, happened to have two 110 outlets in the bathroom, so I was thinking I bought it for nothing. Anyway, despite not needing to, I did test it out on the room's 220 volt outlets and it worked fine powering my camera and iPod chargers. I actually needed this at my next place, in Hong Kong, and it worked perfectly again, this time with a different plug. So, after my experience in two different countries, I'm pretty confident this thing will work about anywhere. Seems like a good deal.

 Simple yet all inclusiveOct 18, 2008

I needed a simple voltage adapter to use anywhere in Europe and this satisfied my needs at a reasonable price. This is not a power transformer but a plug adapter kit.

Very Handy Voltage AdapterApr 14, 2010
By Stanley Y. Wang
"1 Hiker"
This was recommended to me by someone who has traveled extensively overseas and I was not disappointed. Easy to use and switch back and forth between low wattage (phone charger, portable DVD player, etc.) and high wattage (hair dryer, curling iron). Reasonable cost and handy carrying case to keep it all together.
