5.0 out of 5 stars Good quality, February 27, 2007

By	ceb777 "ceb777" (USA) - See all my reviews

This adapter will take your US plug, even the ones with one prong wider than the other, and convert it to a European plug.
One thing to note, this adapter is not a voltage converter; it will not convert European 220V to US 110V, unlike what one reviewer said.
Shouldn't be a problem at if your power supplies support a range of 100-240V like most mobile devices these days: laptops, mobile phones, PDAs, etc. Just read what's on the power supply or device you're taking to Europe.

The adaptor worked great in my trip to Germany. Worked with plug that had one prong slightly larger than the other.

I'm from the US and live in Europe. I buy a lot of dual-voltage products when I visit home, so I use a lot of adapter plugs. If you simply need a two prong adapter, you will be satisfied with this one. The quality is much better than others that I have purchased over the years. I just bought a couple of these to try. I'll be buying more in the future.
