Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Adapter Plug - Europe - Universal Polarized Wide Input Round Pins - Heavy Duty 16 Amp Rating
Customer Review: adapter plug - good product
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a simple adapter. It worked great in Ukraine and Israel. It is not bulky. I found no need during 24 days of travel for the many multi-adapters that I reviewed and considered pruchasing. It worked in a variety of places from airports, trains to numerous motels to apartments. There was not a place in my travels that this did not work. Simple is better.
The shipping was pricy and more than advertised. However when I brought this to the attention of the company they refunded the overage promptly.
A simple product that worked very well.
Customer Review: European power adapter
Summary: 4 Stars
I used the adapter to recharge camera and cell phone batteries and it worked very well. Since most charges can handle both US and European power systems, no converter is needed - just the adapter.Customer Review: Adapter Plug - great product
Summary: 4 Stars
It is a great product. I initially returned it, because it is a very snug fit with the American outlet, but the seller was very professional and communicated with me and the issue was resolved.Customer Review: adaptor plug
Summary: 4 Stars
It's a little difficult to get the American plug into, but works just fine in France.Customer Review: Round, 3-prong adapters are better.
Summary: 3 Stars
Instead of these, I recommend round grounded adapters for US 3-prong as well as 2-prong plugs. Why? Because they have a better, more snug fit on both sides. They fit more snuggly in the Euro/Schuko socket. These flat 2-prong adapters in my experience tend to have a looser connection or even fall out of the socket - esp. if yours is a heavy cable or if it has one of those AD/DC converters at the plug end pulling down on the adapter.
On the other hand, flat 2-prong adapters are slightly more compact and fit better in your pocket. So if you want to get one, I recommend you at least find one that is rubberized or has ridges or a lip to make it easier to pull out of the socket. (The cheap ones made of hard slippery plastic are the worse). And make sure you don't overpay. There are dozens of merchants selling these; make sure you don't pay more than $2/pc including shipping.
Lastly, keep in mind, the schuko socket fits most European countries but not all - most notably UK, and Italy which have their own peculiar sockets.
