1 out of 5 stars Useless. Absolutely USELESS   August 26, 2008

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.



4 out of 5 stars Beats Carrying more than one   August 23, 2008
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!


5 out of 5 stars Great Product   August 17, 2008
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.


4 out of 5 stars Great All-in-One Adapter, works in China   August 13, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

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.



5 out of 5 stars Woked great in Belgium   August 4, 2008
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.
