Solid, hangs on July 28, 2010
E. Lauber (Nairobi, Kenya)
This is a great adapter. It is not flimsy like some and it hangs on to what you plug into it without letting off little sparks.
 doesn't adapt two size prongs July 13, 2010

Most US electrical devices now use a a plug with two different sized prongs. This adaptor does not allow for the longer prong. So if you're looking for an adaptor so you can dry/style your hair during your vacation - don't get this adaptor!
Buy this or your electronics may fry July 9, 2010

I am in London now. I purchased 3 of these for this trip based on the reviews, and am now SOOO glad I did not buy the cheaper ones. First of all, they work. I've had no problems charging my laptop, MP3 player, cell phone etc. I'm using a standard US 3-outlet multiplier plugged into one of them for charging smaller items. Today (as can happen with these older buildings in England) a fuse blew. When the power came back up, we discovered that my sister's adapter (a different brand) was fried. But worse, it had also fried the charger/plug for her MacBook, resulting in a trip to Harrod's (the only place nearby open after 6 PM) and a new $80 charger for her computer (which she won't be able to use at home without buying a UK->US adapter). My laptop was plugged into one of these adapters at the time and the adapter, and more importantly, my laptop and laptop charger are just fine. If you consider the risk of fried electronics, these are well worth the difference between $10 and the adapters that sell for $2.
Power Adapter not a Power Converter July 2, 2010

I was traveling from the United States to London England and needed to make sure I could charge my electronics. I chose Sampsonite because I have always had a good experience with their products and this particular item received perfect reviews.
It will convert a United States male 3-prong (Type-B) or 2-prong (Type-A) plug into a United Kingdom male 3-prong (Type-G) connector. It is a very high quality adapter and can handle a little abuse. It will not break from plugging and unplugging items.
The device is only a physical adapter and not a actual power converter. Make sure any device you plug into it will convert automatically to 220V/50Hz when using in England otherwise your device will be destroyed. I never had the problem because my computer, cellphone, digital camera, electric shaver, and bluetooth headphones all converted without issue.
This device does exactly what I needed it to do and it's high quality enough to use on several trips. Consider getting multiple items so you can simultaneously charge multiple items in your hotel.
Well designed and rugged May 10, 2010

I found this adapter for my daughter who is about to travel for a long stay in Ghana, West Africa after I determined they use this UK type plug there. This one is cleverly designed to accept a wide variety of two or three prong inputs. Made of good materials.
