(5 out of 5) by D. Hunt on Jun 12, 2009 (belmont, ny United States)Works great. Some purchases from overseas do not work in US outlets. This covers it all. Recommend.
AWFUL!
(1 out of 5) by Tracy L. Askew on Jun 4, 2009From the moment I plugged it in Italy on my vacation NOTHING! It never worked. I kept trying everyday. At least the Euro prongs didn't work. I was very disappointed. I was unable to use my iron or plug my phone in. Very disappointed. I gave a 1 star only because I couldn't post without selecting something. Otherwise, I wouldn't have given it any stars.

Works great... in theory
(3 out of 5) by William Kerney on Aug 11, 2009 (San Diego, CA)I picked this up before our trip to Europe, and the device did function as advertised. Essentially, it could convert between all the major power outlet types in Europe, and did so in a lightweight and compact form factor.
The problem with it, though, is that the adapter prongs had trouble locking in place, so that when you tried inserting it into a wall socket that had a bit of resistance, the lock would release and it would collapse back inside of its case. I had to hold down the extension tab to reinforce the prongs when inserting them into a lot of sockets, and even then they'd still collapse or break the circuit so my laptop would unknowingly start running on battery power.
That said, it still worked better than the adapters my family used, so when I flew home I gave this device to them, and they were happy.
