Cons: Not Versatile EnoughSold to me as a laptop power converter but my laptop 3 prong plug won't go in all the way, and it specifically says not to use with grounded devices, or to force the plug.

Pros: Lots of Adaptors ButThe unit advertises itself as compatible with over 165 countries. True, but many countries use 220 Volt at 50 htz. The fact is that you could easily damage your equipment by over-volting with this adaptor. We had to open the package to read the manual, and the first statement warned of this problem. A true universal adaptor would have a voltage adjustment or automatically adjust to different voltages as well as different wall outlet formats. Unfortunately we will have to return it

Pros: Universal; Lightweight; Simple; Durable and ReliableThese travel adaptors enabled us to recharge both our laptop and cell phone batteries while travelling in England and Wales. Over 20 years ago we had a bad experience trying to do this but these worked well and our fears for a similar problem this time were unwarrented.

Pros: Simple; Lightweight; UniversalThis product is much less bulkier than others that do the same job. It's much more effiecient for travel - no tangled cords to deal with and it's super small and lightweight! And so inexpensive compared to other electricity converters. This product is an all-in-one super deal!!!!! It's worked great for me!

Pros: LightweightCons: A little bulkyTraveled to Asia for laptop, camcorder charger, and camera charger. A little bulky. Wish it's flat instead of round.

1st Tenor says:
Pros: Lightweight; SimpleCons: Difficult To ConfigureI used the adapter on a recent trip to the UK & it worked as advertised. I have just discovered, however, that it will NOT work in Australia, China, Fiji, or New Zealand as they use a plug w/three flat prongs, the top two are angled at 45 degrees toward each other with the bottom one vertical. This configuration is not included in the device.

Pros: LightweightCons: Difficult To ConfigureIt fits together nicely, but is a bit of a challenge at first to determine which plug goes where. My concern would be if you didn't put it all back together you might misplace a part of it.
