1.0 out of 5 stars Won't work with polarized 2-pin plugs, September 7, 2007

This product does not accept 'polarized' US 2-pin plugs (those with one blade wider than the other). I could not use it to charge my camera or camcorder and was forced to purchase another adapter in the UK (for $10). It did work fine for 3-pin and non-polarized 2-pin plugs so if you're certain that's all you'll need it for it will work for you.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Rugged US to UK Adapter, May 31, 2008

Although not the cheapest unit available I picked this Eforcity Adapter for its excellent build quality. It also accepts US 3 prong (ground) plugs, which many adapters will not handle (some only the US 2 prong polarized plug), So be careful. Also be careful and be sure that the device you are using it with can handle the UK electrical requirements which are 220 volts, 50 cycles. This adapter does not convert UK voltage to US voltage. You have to buy a CONVERTER, not an ADAPTER to do that. All in all a very well made product for less than 10 dollars delivered. It will keep my laptop running nicely during my extended stay in the UK.

5.0 out of 5 stars worked perfectly, May 1, 2011

Having recently just returned from a trip to Ireland, my husband and I bought two of these plug adapters for our trip. They both worked splendidly. The plugs were used primarily to charge our laptop, iphones, and camera battery. We were both glad that we invested in plugs that had a metal ground input, as some of the ones we were considering buying had plastic ones, and at times a little bit of force was needed to insert them into the plugs in the hotels. Just remember that this is simply an adapter not a converter. So, please make sure that your electrical products are rated for 220V usage rather than just the 120V we use in the US. It is my understanding that most newer electronics can use both, but beware of things with heating elements such as curling irons and/or hair dryers, which I did not use on our trip.
