Taking this to the UK allows US style plugs to be plugged into a UK power socket. NOTE.. this is not a converter. The UK voltage is 230V and the adapter does not change the voltage to the 115V used in America. A lot of devices are now auto sensing and work from 115-230V, it will be stamped on the device or its power supply. Make sure that it does before plugging it in, it will damage the device if it is only supposed to work with 115V.

We used this adapter while traveling in Ireland and had no problems using devices (laptop, Iphone, camera) equipped to handle European power supply. This adapter worked in all of our hotels; a competitor's model did not. It proved to be a relatively inexpensive and worthwhile purchase.

For some reason, people keep reviewing these adapters by saying that there is a loose grip on the prongs of U.S.-type plugs. Well, I just got a batch of these adapters and, if anything, the grip is too tight! (Not complaining - just describing.) I plugged in several power cords - for my phone, a hair dryer, a lamp - and all of them were held firmly in place. Please ignore these oddball critiques. This is just what you expect it to be - a low-priced, generic, simple device to adapt your U.S.-type plug to the outlets in places like the U.K. Don't make life more complicated than it needs to be...
