Ckitze USA to Germany, France Schuko Travel Grounded Universal Power Plug Adapter - Type E/F - CE Certified for Mobile Cell Phone, Laptop, Tablet Chargers and More

Very affordable, grounded ~220v to 110v adapter for using USA style plugs with a lot of countries overseas outlets (check the specific country you're going to to ensure it uses this style. The ground connector (often missing on cheap adapters) gets rid of the weird electrical vibration feeling you get if you run your finger over the metal on a laptop or TV (or other elctronic device) and the adapter isn't grounded. Be advised, (just in case you didn't notice), this does not change the voltage, so the device you plug into the adapter will have to be able to accept the outlet voltage of the country you're in (usually ~220v). The power supply of the electronic device you're going to plug in will generally have a "input" section on the label of it. It will look something like "100-240V" meaning 100 volts all the way up to 240 volts are acceptable for the device. Make sure the device is rated to accept the voltage of the outlet. If the label says "input 100-120V" and you plug it in in France or Korea which are 220 & 230 volts, you will destroy your power supply and possibly device, and run the risk of starting a fire or injuring yourself.

Exactly what I needed, but the one I received was off-white instead of black. If you've tried many of these sorts of things, you know that some are very flimsy and don't make a good connection (which can be kind of scary and send sparks flying, etc.). This one seems to be pretty sturdy and well made. I used it in Spain and France and it worked perfectly.

Served it's purpose. Worked just fine. Satisfied for the price.

Does what is should

I was a little nervous, but it works perfectly and I've had no issues with it while living in Korea! This adapter stays firmly connected in the plug outlet, and my plug fits into it with no problem. I have also not had any issues with my plug coming loose or falling out while plugged in. This is all the adapter you need, plain and simple!

The product description says this plug works in Europe, but that’s misleading. This does NOT work in Italy. Last I checked Italy is still part of Europe. It looks the same as a universal adapter which can be used in Italy, but the prongs are too wide. Suggestion-contact seller before purchasing this product to make sure it will work in the countries you will be traveling.

This technically works, but doesn't actually hold well in the socket. It was very rare in my recent trip that I had a socket that I could aim the prongs down into. Most European sockets are on the wall and you aim the prongs sideways. This adapter doesn't hold steady. You have to actually sit there and hold it into the wall to keep getting a charge. So apart from one private home I stayed in where they had a surge strip I could plug into with prongs aimed down, I was mostly unable to use this adapter at all. Thank goodness I had also bought another one of a different kind or I would have had to sit there holding the adapter just to charge my phone.

It's not exactly what I thought it would be. I was purchasing this to use while I travel to the Middle East and the prongs are not for that rather they are for Europe (they're larger and closer together and outlet sockets in the Middle East) For use in the Middle East, you will need an aditional adapter plug.
