Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Kensington 33117 International All-in-One Travel Plug Adapter
Customer Review: Works fine in Singapore! (and in China)
Summary: 5 Stars
Based on some of the reviews, I'm concluding a lot of people haven't been to many countries where the voltage is 220-240. Yes, this is a plug adapter ONLY, it is NOT a voltage converter (Kensington says so right on their website: "Suitable for most consumer electronics. Does not reduce or convert electrical voltage. Not for use with high-watt devices such as hairdryers and irons. Please check electronic device specifications before using.")
That said, this adapter worked fine for me during my entire 10 day stay in Singapore. I charged both my Canon Digital SLR camera's battery via the Canon charger AND my Sony video camcorder via the AC adapter; I read the fine print on both products and they are both auto voltage switching. Make sure you do your research before you leave the country and you'll be all set with fewer headaches later on. :)
***11/8/2008 update***
There are some mixed reviews on using this in China. China has 3 types of outlets (all are 220 volts). It WILL work in the outlets which are the same three prong type used in Singapore and Hong Kong (this type can be found in Guangzhou). The other two types of outlets are either two vertical flat blades (look similar to the US type) OR two diagonal flat blades. This product WORKS FINE in the two vertical flat blades type outlet, BUT it's a hit or miss on the diagonal flat blades (sometimes they require a 3rd ground prong to be inserted and this adapter does NOT have that 3rd prong). I tried the "wiggle" method mentioned on another review and here's what I found from a recent trip to Guangxi and Yunnan Provinces when using the diagonal flat prongs:
Did not work in the hotels I stayed at in Guilin, Kunming, nor Shangri-la when using the diagonal flat prongs.
Did work in the hotels I stayed at in Dali and Lijiang when using the diagonal flat prongs.
Works perfectly in Hong Kong (uses the 3 prong type outlet).
Just as a reminder, this DOES work fine in China with the two vertical flat prong outlets (interestingly enough, in China they often have both the two vertical flat prong outlets and the two diagonal prongs with the 3rd ground on the same outlet faceplate).
