Bought at another web site, but it's the same adapter. Broke on the first try. Actually, it worked for 1 sec. I guess it was the fuse... Buying a new one from another brand.
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.

Works great... in theory
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.

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.
