Very sturdy, well-built adapter that works great!,
by J. D., 2010-06-09

There's not much to say about this adapter. I bought it for use on a trip to Sweden and it has not disappointed. It works well and is very sturdy-feeling. I'd recommend it for sure for travel to anywhere in Europe (except Italy which apparently uses different plugs).

 

Works fine but beware of the outlets!,
by J. S. Buckley, 2010-03-19

I have this plug and it works just fine. The great thing about this specific adapter is that it accepts US grounded, non-grounded 2 and 3 prong plugs, making this more useful than my little 2-prong plug adapter. Highly recommend.

However, I have encountered issues like other reviewers where the foreign outlets are grounded - they have a metal pin at the top which prevents using this plug. But this is an issue with the outlets and not the plug. I've solved that with a small, two-prong plug adapter (it only accepts a 2-prong like this adapter) that I carry with this and it works perfectly. Also, I've been using multiple adapters (stacked upon each other) for the last 5+ years with no issues.

 

BEWARE,

Be careful before ordering this item. Although designated as an European adaptor, it does NOT work in Switzerland.

 

Worked perfectly in Ireland,
by D. Stovall, 2010-02-16

Just back from a 9-day trip to Ireland. Wanted to be able to charge our laptop computer, and our cell phones. The Samsonite converter worked perfectly -- plug it into a wall outlet, and your item into the converter. Couldn't be simpler, and it never failed us. Seems to be a solid, well-built little device. Best $9.95 I've spent in a while.

 

good product, works in Belarus/Russia,
by Iryna Shlykava, 2009-11-27

I bought it for my mom to use with her laptop in Belarus. She has been happy with it since the moment she plugged it in. Since electrical system in Russia and Belarus are identical, it will work in Russia as well - get it if you plan on traveling over there.
