Don't Waste Your Money!
I purchased this adapter months ago for a trip I just took. I tried it once at home and it worked ok, but it broke the very first time I tried to use it overseas (only the second time I tried plugging something in) and I had to break down and buy an expensive one at the last minute at a tourist shop near my hotel. The adapter is so messed up, you can't even get the end of plug into it. I have no idea what happened or how it cold have been broken in such a way, but it's a piece of junk. Don't waste your money!!!

Very useful gizmo
This is a one-function gadget that does exactly what it's supposed to do -- supplies electrical plugs for systems worldwide, and you can then plug your US two-prongs into it. We just used it for two weeks in Ireland with its 3-rectangular-prongs outlets and it worked perfectly with our US battery and cellphone chargers. Bonus: when it's plugged in the power indicator is bright enough to serve as a night light!IMPORTANT: This device is NOT NOT a voltage converter, just a plug adapter. In countries with other than 110 volt electrical systems you'll need a converter also, or chargers that work on both currents.

It's disconcerting when smoke starts pouring out of your adapter...
Product is a great idea. It includes everything you need--three plugs for use in almost every country, multiple USB plugs, etc.Unfortunately, we got a lemon--a good idea was not backed up by a quality product. We purchased this for a trip through Europe and, on first use, it charged our phones via USB, albeit incredibly slowly (probably 10% the speed of our normal chargers). On second use, after a few minutes of being plugged in (trying to charge a phone via USB), smoke started pouring out of the unit. No damage to the phone, but it did require us to track down a replacement adapter on the road (sadly, at a higher cost).Based on all the 5-star reviews, I would consider trying this product again. However, I would HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting it in advance of your trip and using it a few times before going abroad to make sure you get a quality unit instead of a lemon.

Very Convenient for Travel
This adaptor is great for travel across multiple countries. I used it for a trip to the UK and Central Europe and it was so convenient to not have to bring multiple adaptors for the different outlets.Pros:- The two USB ports. Other travelers I met were jealous when they saw that I could charge my camera, phone, and tablet all at the same time using just one outlet!- The 3-in-1 design. No extra pieces you have to bring and switch out for different countries.- All the prongs retract to save a little space, making it easier to store or pack.Con:- Really the only con is that it can get a little heavy depending on what you have attached to it, so I had to prop it up a couple times.Overall I would definitely recommend this to other travelers!

Works well, USB ports are handy.
Seems to work well - I say that because I sometimes had issues charging but I believe it was the power source, not the adapter. Worth it to have the 2 USB ports - came in very handy. Blue led lights up letting you know it's working.I'd say only improvement would be if it were slimmer - it sticks out from the wall and is 'heavy' so sometimes it falls out. I either prop it up or tape it to the wall when this happens - it's only been an issue a few times.

Solid charger
Compact, versatile and best part is 2 USB ports! This worked in the US, UK, France, Belgium, and the Netherlands. I never had a problem where it didn't fit and it seemed to charge well. Only negative I found was I brought my 2-pronged US iPhone charger (the block part) for when my USB ports were full and I had difficulty pushing it into the adapter. It would take a few tries to make the red flaps go inward with the prongs of the plug which got frustrating, but it never not worked. Also, beware when you "unlock" -- the spring loaded prongs fling out with unexpected velocity!

The built-in USB ports were great for charging my gadgets
I ordered this adapter for my international travel. It worked well for my trips to China and Thailand last November. The built-in USB ports were great for charging my gadgets. However, when I took this adapter to Europe a week ago, the adapter suddenly stopped working in the middle of my vacation in Amsterdam. For whatever reason, there was no power coming through the adapter. Luckily, I happened to carry another power adapter specifically for EU region. I checked the power outlet on the wall and confirmed there was power, so the power adapter was indeed defective. It was extremely inconvenient for me and my wife to charge up our devices during the rest of our vacation. For a product like this, I'd expect very solid reliability and durability on top of the convenience with the all-in-one design. I don't take a lot of international trips, so the usage of this product is fairly minimal. The adapter only lasted 6 months with two uses, which is very disappointing.

I purchased this item, hesitantly, just before a 10 day trip to Italy. My hesitation was because I had traveled to Germany with a more expensive item and that was a failure. This item worked amazingly well. It is an unbelievable and invaluable item for travel. I will keep it in my suitcase because it will be going with my anywhere I go. It is compact. It works well. It is inexpensive. What more can one want?
