 Works really wellAug 30, 2009
By Jaewoo Kim

I have used these electrical adapters in a country (South Korea) which uses the 220v as the AC standard. These worked perfectly when I used the USA standard 120v plugs (two thin "l" shaped prongs).
No adapter, including this one, will convert electricity (electric converters will). That means if your electrical machine can't handle the native AC voltage, you should NOT use these adapters. You can check the range of electrical voltage your electrical machine can handle by checking its voltage range typically written somewhere on the device. Most consumer electronic devices can handle from 110v to 240v and that covers the voltage range of practically every nation on earth. In summary, chances are very good that your consumer electronic device will work with the AC voltage of the country you are residing. But you probably would want to check the device.
Please note, these should be used in countries that use 220v-240v (most of Europe). Not all countries use the two rounded prongs of this adapter. The input of this adapter can handle all forms of plugs, including the US 120v (both 2 and 3 prongs).
If you plan to travel to different parts of the world, then I recommend you purchase variable AC adapter plugs which can handle different voltage and plug types. They cost more, but they are worth the money. But if you need an AC adapter specifically for countries that use AC 220v-240v, then these should meet your needs nicely.
My only issue with these is they are little big (but not too big) and can sometimes be cumbersome. So they get 4 stars.

 a good idea if you're traveling with electronicsJun 06, 2008
By JB photo
I use the grounded adaptor for my laptop...most of the places I travel have very sketchy electrical systems and this just provides an added amount of security - you can also get small travel-size surge protectors that are highly recommended for laptops and charging batteries for pro-DSLR cameras. This one is small and the body fits into the recessed plugs commonly found in western Europe now - most eastern Europe areas still have the flush mount outlets and this works perfectly.

PERFECT FOR PARIS/FRANCENov 08, 2008
By RWT

Used flawlessly in Paris and in the French countyside earlier this year. Used in multiple hotels, both newer and older hotels, and it fit and worked perfectly. Excellent quality so you don't have to worry about it breaking just when you need it.

This adapter worked perfectly while I was in Iceland and the compact design made it easy to pack.
