Customer Review: Works as advertised, well engineered
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this item in anticipation of our vacation to Europe, with stops in Germany and in England. The unit worked well in both locations - I had no problems using it to power my laptop and recharge my iPhone. It came with a small storage bag as well, which was reasonably well made, and protects the unit from grit & etc. It is small, about the size of a typical wall-plug power supply, though not as heavy: easy to pack!
The usage of the adapter is very straightforward: pick out the appropriate plug you need for your current location on the front of the adapter, then plug your unit into the correct jack on the back. It is a two way Adapter, allowing you to adapt in either direction. (From any country's standard to any other, for the standards supported by the unit.)
As an added bonus, the unit is also a "surge protector" - though I cannot vouch for its capabilities in this area, as we had no problems with surges during our trip.
The unit arrived from the vendor (Dreambargains) within a couple of days, much faster than what was promised.
All in all, a good unit, sold at a good price. I have seen some reviews here which say the unit is "cheap-feeling" and "prone to breaking" --- I would disagree. It seems reasonably robust, given its' intended use, though I wouldn't recommend flinging it around or twisting the prongs (when extended).
I'll give it five stars: it does what it is intended to do, is well engineered, and all at a reasonable price.
Added Note (March 28, 2010): I recently loaned this unit to a friend travelling to Australia. She reports that it worked fine for her needs while she was there - powering a phone charger and a laptop.
