Worked for 11 months only

This product was working fine and suddenly it stopped working, so could use this adoptor for around 11 months only. Not the best.

Didn't work

I took this with me to Europe and was very disappointed. I went to use it on the first day and it didn't work. I did however receive my full refund upon returning so I can't complain.

Simply Did Not Work

I just returned from the UK and tried using this product there; it did not work. I plugged my USA device into it and plugged it into the wall, and nothing happened. I do not recommnend this adapter. It did nothing at all.

Very Handy

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.)

This thing will test your patience

Only used the Euro settings on this. The main problem was that the bulk of the adapter and the fact that it did not securely fit into the circle-shaped outlet meant that it would not remain stable once it was plugged into the outlet. We found that we had to use shims made of folded strips of paper to wedge in between the adapter and the outlet in order to get the plug prongs to maintain their contact, and had to spend 5-10 minutes adjusting the position before we could get it to work. This was not a one-time occurrence: we had to do this every time we wanted to use the adapter in Germany, Czech Republic, Austria, Hungary, and Poland. It worked, but barely did its job.
