3 out of 5 stars Round, 3-prong adapters are better.   July 10, 2010
Daniel (Ithaca, NY United States)
Instead of these, I recommend round 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.

These plug adapters do what they're supposed to--adapt from US plugs to European plugs. Had no problems whatsoever and with all of the chargers, etc. I carry, I am glad I brought along three.

Used this adapter on recent trip to Switzerland and it worked fine. It is small and easy to use and wasn't expensive. I only bought one and I had no problem keeping my cell phone, computer, and electric razor charged but some people might consider buying two since they don't cost much; also would give you spare in case you lost one.

I recently travelled abroad with a rather large group. Many people in the group purchased very expensive adapters. The first night, all the expensive chargers blew up, and mine worked fine. You don't need to buy big expensive chargers for travel abroad. These little units worked perfect, were small and if you lost it, no biggie! They were cheap! Buy several! Thay are all you need for European travel.

Several years now, I have used this brand of international plug adaptor for my American electrical products. This is the best quality I have found compared to other brands I have tried. You will not regret purchasing this product.
