Others say...
"Useless. Absolutely USELESS" Well, for starters, this product will not convert any voltage for you. So, the statement in its description "is suitable for most consumer electronics ranging from 110-volts to Mac 275-watts, to 220-volts to Mac 550-watts" is wrong and intentionally put to mislead people. Second, the product will not support three pin devices so if you want to put in a three pronged pin into it, that won't work. Third, it gives a huge statement about able to work in 150 countries. Well, it doesnt support the three pin plug of europe used across EU, won't work in India and SA as the plug it fits into are vertical plugs and not three pin plugs and in that position, it will break before handling the weight. Won't support three pin operation in these countries and won't even fit in the plug. In Australia also, it will work only with two pin support (which is my biggest crib with this product). The built is cheap plastic and not sure it will take a fall to the non-carpeted floor. Not sure why this product is still present with all the false claims and such a low quality. "Beats Carrying more than one" I used this plug on my trip to Europe, and let me tell you it really came in handy. Worked in every country i went to(including Hungary) Saves alot of space but it did hang or tilt a little in some sockets, guess it was the way I had it positioned, but it definetly is worth the buy! "Great Product" Great product, convenient in many different countries. One note is to make sure you carry an extra fuse in the event you should blow one. Very easy to use and change them, though. "Great All-in-One Adapter, works in China" I just got back from China visiting Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hong Kong, and other places I forgot. I did not encounter any major problems when using this adapter. Most places in China uses an outlet that includes a V shape and/or 2 prong rounded. However, the 2 prong rounded outlet has a 2-in-1 and is able to fit the 2 straight plugs that DO NOT have the holes (the standard for U.S plugs has the holes, so do not plug the U.S. plugs in the China outlet or else sparks will fly). Of all the hotels I've been in, I could not use the V shape one except for one hotel in Xian. It seems the Kensington's adapter's V shape is slightly larger than the standard China plugs which is why it didn't fit. Pretty much all of the outlets (with the 2 prong rounded outlet) were able to fit the 2 prong rounded adapter. The minor problems with using the 2 prong rounded plug was that it felt a little loose especially for some electronics that uses a large base for a plug, like the Apple Macbook and if you have to connect a transformer to it. But these problems were only minor and I did not miss a charge at all over my 3 week stay in China. Hong Kong uses a differently plug which uses 3 large rectangular prongs. The adapter has that included as well and worked without problems. This adapter saves you the trouble of carrying so many pieces. I bought two of these for my trip to China and my sister was amazed at how convenient it was to use and carry so I gave one to her. I would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to China. But if you want to use the V outlet or the U.S 3 prong w/ground instead, I suggest buying another adapter for that. "Woked great in Belgium" Adapter used in Brussels for computer and cell phone power. The adapter worked as stated and as confirmed in many other reviews. I bought this adapter because of its positive review history.

What our customer's say! "Works great for me, no pieces to loose.", This adapter works great for me plugging my notebook and other items in Ireland and the UK. I've bought several travel adapters, but always loose the little pieces in about 45 seconds... So the all-in-one feature (1 piece, no additional pieces) works absolutely perfectly for me and I'll never consider anything else. I've read a few people mention something about it not working because of the third prong. I'm not 100% sure what they're talking about, but the device DOES have a hole for a third (ground) prong for U.S. devices. and probably non-US devices (I only tried US devices.) You CAN plug in a device with a third prong, and you can plug this device into outlets requiring a third prong as well. However, it is a no-connect meaning the third prong doesn't really do anything except allow the plug to physically fit into the device or the adapter into the wall. I suppose this is not ideal (a connected third prong would have been better) however in actual fact everything I tried on it worked perfectly. I've tried 3 notebooks (an older HP notebook, A brand new HP notebook, and a new MacBook) as well as a variety of chargers and routers and they all work, at least in Ireland and the U.K. Perhaps there are some devices that don't work with a nonconnected third prong but I haven't found any yet. I don't want to flame other reviewers (perhaps they have found combinations that do not work for some reason), but rather am just relaying my experience, which is that everything I have tried works everywhere I tried it, and I'm even a gadget guy! I am now ordering the white travel adapter (different manufacturer) which seems to have the same basic features as this one but is 1/2 the price... I'll let everyone know how it compares to this one! "Plug Review", I just used the plug on a trip to Israel. Worked as described. Remember, it is not a transformer it will just allow your plugs to fit. If you plug this into a 220V outlet and plug a 110V device into it the device will fry. "PERFECTLY SIMPLE!", NO PARTS ! HOORAY !!! converts all configurations IN and OUT. Go anywhere and use their outlets. The outlet can be any configuration AND the device can be any configuration. It's also very small for packing. "Kensington Adapter", Works great, all-in-one so you don't have to keep track of different pieces. If you have a 3 prong US plug, bring an 3 to 2 adapter. "Almost everything I hoped", This adapter worked extremely well for the most part, and was a great value for the money. My one problem was that it appeared, from the pictures, to accept grounded plugs (US version), but it did not, which caused some last-minute adjusting. 
Read this reviews before You buy... "Misleading claims!", This product does NOT support laptops or other products that require a ground (for US plugs). I have a standard Dell laptop, so I assume it's very common that most US laptop plugs have the third plug for the ground. They market this product for laptops, but this product has no hole for the ground plug and the website/description does not explain that. I had to buy a different adapter with at the airport, so basically this product ended up costing me $60. "Very practical", This is worth the money. Very practical and it worked better than other adapters I have tried unsuccessfully before. "An Easy-To-Use Adapter But With Limitations", This is one of the most convenient plug adapters I have ever used. I have used it throughout Europe and Africa. It is great that everything is self-contained in one handy unit. Keep in mind that this does not convert voltages so you have to be plugging in something that can use the voltage supplied. For instance most laptop power supplies can handle 110 volt as well as 220 volt. Check the label before traveling. A couple of cautions. This adapter is fused and is limited as to how much wattage can be drawn. Good for safety, but don't use a travel iron with it or try to power multiple devices. You'll blow the fuse which I learned the hard way. Also, it is a bit bulky and may not fit in tight spaces. A few times I had to hunt for an outlet that was less restricted. Overall a good product for supplying low-power devices. "Works fine in Singapore! (and in China)", Based on some of the reviews, I'm concluding a lot of people haven't been to many countries where the voltage is 220-240. Yes, this is a plug adapter ONLY, it is NOT a voltage converter (Kensington says so right on their website: "Suitable for most consumer electronics. Does not reduce or convert electrical voltage. Not for use with high-watt devices such as hairdryers and irons. Please check electronic device specifications before using.") That said, this adapter worked fine for me during my entire 10 day stay in Singapore. I charged both my Canon Digital SLR camera's battery via the Canon charger AND my Sony video camcorder via the AC adapter; I read the fine print on both products and they are both auto voltage switching. Make sure you do your research before you leave the country and you'll be all set with fewer headaches later on. :) ***11/8/2008 update*** There are some mixed reviews on using this in China. China has 3 types of outlets (all are 220 volts). It WILL work in the outlets which are the same three prong type used in Singapore and Hong Kong (this type can be found in Guangzhou). The other two types of outlets are either two vertical flat blades (look similar to the US type) OR two diagonal flat blades. This product works fine in the two vertical flat blades, BUT it's a hit or miss on the diagonal flat blades (sometimes they require a 3rd ground prong to be inserted and this adapter does NOT have that 3rd prong). I tried the "wiggle" method mention on another review and here's what I found from a recent trip to Guangxi and Yunnan Provinces when using the diagonal flat prongs: Did not work in the hotels I stayed at in Guilin, Kunming, nor Shangri-la. Did work in the hotels I stayed at in Dali and Lijiang. "Shoddy construction", This same design is sold by several companies, and has two major drawbacks: * European-style plugs come with prongs of varying thickness, including some where the thickness varies thoughout the length of the prong. This adapter is only able to handle the thickest ones when excessive force is applied and the mechanism will cause the thinnest ones to stuck so that you can not pull them off; * The adapter consists of two parts which are linked in a fragile way, a break is almost certain to happen. |
