 Works fine but construction is flimsy. Sep 26, 2006
By JanSobieski
Yeah, this adaptor worked just fine but it was poorly constructed and flimsy.
REMEMBER, this is an adaptor NOT a converter despite appearances to the contrary. An adaptor merely adapts US male plugs to fit their European or Asian female wall socket counterparts. You will still have a 220 V power source. A converter transforms the 220 V from Europe to the 110 commonly found in the USA. You will also need to pay close attention to the wattage of the converter. A converter that will run your wife's hairdryer will not necessarily work on devices requiring less wattage. Many, if not most, converters have switches to handle both load levels.
Most computer and camera rechargers will work with a simple adaptor since they are designed to handle either 110 V or 220 V. You need only look at the label on your charger to determine what voltage it is designed for.
I'm still looking for a well made solidly built adaptor.

Shoddy Construction, But does the trick. Jun 26, 2007
By M. Giguere
I recently purchased this product for a trip to the UK. While it did the job when my macbook pro power adapter was plugged into it, every time I inserted the adapter it felt as though the Samsonite Worldwide Adaptor Plug was going to snap in half. On top of that the adapter fell out with even with the slightest touch causing me to use exceptional grace as though playing jenga upon every insertion and I couldn't put even a minute amount of tension on the chord without the adapter falling out.

 Prefer some other make. Mar 29, 2008
By G. Mehta
the product is very useful and would have been great value for money had the finishing of the product be better. the adjustments are not at all smooth and it seems that, every time u change the setting, somethign or the other will break down int he adaptor.
in brief, prefer some other make of this. not up to the mark of SAMSONITE name.disappointed.

Good in a pinch, but doesn't fit into all spaces Dec 17, 2007
By Aaron D. Gaudio
The product was convenient during my trip to the UK and Europe, as I didn't have to get multiple adapters. It's relatively portable, which is a plus. As others have mentioned, when plugging your device in, it can feel like you're forcing it enough that you might break it, but in fact I never did actually break it, although some of the construction seems a little weak.
BTW, make sure you know this is an adapter, not a converter. Make sure your devices are rated to run at all the required voltages, lest you get blowed up.
The only problems I had with it were sometimes the UK sliders would need to be coerced a bit more forcefully than should be required in order to get the prongs out. (Make sure the prongs lock into place, or else they'll just be pushed back when you try to plug the adapter in.) The other problem was that the size of the adapter could be a problem when trying to plug into tight spots.
All in all, it got me through my trip.
