Useful gadget
(5 out of 5) by ogurek on Jan 31, 2009 (NJ, USA)I bought this adapter to charge my digital camera in Poland. This adapter was fairly easy to use and convert plugs as needed. It's great that it goes both ways, for example if I wanted to use a European appliance in the US. I used it a few times with no problems.
Just make sure what you need is an adapter and not converter. This product will not convert voltage. Many battery chargers (cameras, laptops, etc) already convert voltage so all you need is an adapter. Just check the printed label on the cord.

Handy little thing!!
(5 out of 5) by Sunil K. Rao on Apr 30, 2009 (New York, USA)I am a software consultant and my job takes me around the world. Looks like this is the perfect handy little thing that I needed, while traveling. With the increasing number of gadgets and wires, this 1 plug meets all my connectivity needs. I've used it in several countries and no complaints so far. The plug looks good, not too bulky. Great buy for the price. Definitely recommend.

Fuse is hard to find
(4 out of 5) by R. Peverley on Apr 21, 2009I have had this adapter for a couple of years and have used it successfully many times. However, on my most recent trip, I found that none of my electronic devices were charging when connected to the adapter. With no multimeter on hand, I couldn't determine that the fuse was bad. Once I got home, I checked the fuse with the meter and found that it was in fact bad.
I figured that the fuse would be easily found at Home Depot, Lowes or Radio Shack, but this is not the case. I'm still looking for a replacement fuse if anyone has a link.

Very Handy
(4 out of 5) by a guy on Jul 4, 2009 (LAFAYETTE, LA United States)Very handy for travelling to various places.
Does everything advertised.
Just be careful to not use with items requiring more than the rated wattage, nor for items not equipped for the local voltage (autotransformer, dual voltage switch, etc.). If your item is intended for the local voltage and you only need plug configuration, this is the best item I've come across for low wattage items. (Laptop, cellphone, GPS, etc.)
