What our customer's say!

"Dissapointing", I travel extensively internationally (around 30 weeks a year) so I was looking for a universal adapter that I could stick in my bag instead of having to remember to bring the right adapter for each business trip.

I tried this adapter out and found it was lacking.

Pros:
1. It does work in most outlets worldwide. The one exception is some UK safety sockets...more later
2. It is not too terribly large
3. The trendy white color :-)

Cons:
1. It will stop working frequently when using the europlug. In order to make electrical contact the europlug must be flipped all the way up. Unfortunately it is on a hinge with very little resistance so any weight on it (like a cable plugged into it) causes the plug adapter itself to rotate on this hinge causing the plug to lose contact. You only have to wake up to a dead cell phone once before figuring this out.
2. It does not work in UK safety sockets. Some of the safety sockets in the UK require the grounding pin to hit a switch that allows the rest of the plug to go in. For some reason this plug does not always work in those.
3. It is bigger than it looks in the picture.

In summary, buy the Kensington model instead. I have 2 and they work great.
Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter

"power source", great for traveling over seas when more than one socket is needed, it preform excellent

"worked well", Used this product in Slovenia to charge my computer and other electronic devices. Worked great and had no problems. Never used it with a converter but it worked great as an adapter.

"too soon to tell", This review is partial. The item looks to be what I'll need on my trip. Have to wait and see how it performs. At least it came in time for the trip and wasn't too expensive.

"Very pleased with Adapter", I've been using my Belkin adapter in Italy for my computer and cellphone charger and have had no problems. Remember- this is not a converter. That should not be a problem, however, with most of your devices since any device- like most computer power cords- that accept 100-240V will be fine.

Read this reviews before You buy...

"Adapter Only - Not a Converter!", WATCH OUT! This is an adapter only, not a converter, which renders it pretty much useless for me and most people. Amazon failed to disclose this. It is on the package only. Shame on Amazon.

"Intentionally misleading product description", As an electrical engineer, I feel that the product description for this item (Belkin F8E449 Universal AC Travel Adapter) is intentionally misleading.

For example, it says:
"Rated to handle both 110- and 220-240-volt standards... allows you to connect to international power outlets without a complicated power conversion"

The statement above suggests that this 'AC Travel Adapter' is able to provide POWER conversion, so a potential customer may expect it to perform VOLTAGE conversion between 110/220V. But this is completely false, becasue this plug adapter is just a physical connection. It does not convert the VOLTAGE. It does not convert the CURRENT. In short, it does not perform ANY conversion at all.

In the 'Technical Details' section it further says:
"Allows you to charge your laptop, PDA, and cell phone internationally"

A potential customer may be led to believe that: this product allows you to use 110V-only appliance in other countries. The truth is, if you plug in an 110V-only appliance to a 220V socket through this 'adapter', your appliance wil blow up immediately.

Power supplies for most portable electronics (laptop, camcorder, cell-phone, electric shavers, etc.) are already designed for universal voltage of 100-240V AC. Similarly, your travel iron or hair dryer could be ready for dual-voltage operation. Make sure to check your appliance's user manual, as it may require you to manually flip a voltage-selection switch before leaving for the trip.

Of course, you still need a set of universal plug adapters for foreign countries - which is exactly what this product is meant to be.

"Works perfectly in Europe/Asia", I was hesitant to purchase after reading the reviews however after doing some research on what I needed this became the obvious choice of other adpaters I was looking at. First off you have to check whatever item you want to plug into it. If the product you want to plug into it has an input of 100-240v or anything inbetween (110-240v for example) than this product works without any additional converters. If your product does not have the before mentioned voltage inputs and is only rated 110 or 240 you will need a voltage converter taking the voltage up or down depending on your input necessary to power your device. To check your device: if it has a transformer (box in between the plug and the adapter to your device) it will have the necessary information. If your product does not have an adapter (like a cell phone charger) it will be located on the plug area.

"TRAVEL ADAPTER", THIS PRODUCT WORKS WELL IN USA.I AM NOT SURE IF THIS IS GOING TO
WORK WELL IN OTHER PARTS OF THE GLOBE. I WOULD BE TESTING THIS PRODUCT
AS THE YEAR UNWINDS

"works fine in India.", worked fine for cell phone, camera battery recharging in India. Remember its an adaptor not convertor. Your charger/ device should already accept 220V for India.
