Universal Travel Plug Adapter Europe/UK/Australia/USA/India/China Compact Does Not Convert Voltage RW101BK Black

Might take a little bit of time to learn to use these, but these are the best and most compact universal chargers. They truly work for great for world travelers - everywhere from the UK to the rest of Europe to India to China to Australia to the US. The round prongs can be "squeezed" to be narrower -- that is a critical feature that makes this very usable across Europe. The extra third leg (both round and latch) works on 3-hole outlets where the 3rd dummy hole is required to turn on the outlet.

In my humblish opiniom, the best, most easily packable, and certainly most elegant international plug solution. I carried around these chunky, overpriced bricks for years. While sometimes I have to watch a video to MacGyver the plug into the correct country configuration, it is light, simple near perfect. It isn't the toughest build quality, and would knock off a half star for this, and also if you use heavy travel power blocks, this can't support their weight (I carry a short multiple extension anyhow) but otherwise really one of the best travel adapter solutions I've ever encountered.

A must for frequent travelers. Used it in Europe and Asia so far without issues.

Compared to other receptacle adapters I had used, the Slim RW101CR is rather compact and light; kudos to its unique & creative design for providing a rather comprehensive coverage of various receptacle types. Functionally, it has worked well for me in the field. As a constructive feedback to its next generation design… while using the Type I configuration in Australia, I find that the white round tab on the side has prevented the two flat conducting pins from securely mating with the receptacle (see pictures.) BTW, the RW101CR does NOT suffer from the problem that those boxy cube adapters (which my spouse has) had with getting too close to toggle the on/off switch on the face plate.

Saves so much space compared to the bulky multi-country adapter I used to use. This, combined with the US version of the Macbook adapter (on which the pins fold flat) is such an improvement in my travel setup. It also accepts shaver plugs, which most multi-country adapters do not, saving even more space in the travel bag Some of the configurations *look* scary, but they are not - there is never exposed/connected metalwork where there shouldn't be - in practice I find it safer and less wobbly than conventional adapters.

Buy this adapter and NOT the Kikkerland brand adapter. I discovered this product through a YouTube channel "PackHacker." However, they suggested the Kikkerland brand adapter which I brought on a five month trip through south America. It seemed to work well, but it was very flimsy and seemed cheaply made. The Kikkerland adapter did a very bad job of staying in the outlet. I would go to bed with my phone plugged in and it would constantly fall out of the outlet. I'd often wake up with a dead phone. Until one time it fell out of the outlet on a top bunk at a hostel and shattered all over the ground. I then found this product and read reviews of this being the original adapter. I am so happy that I bought it. It is much better quality and feels much sturdier than the last one I had. The plastic is also more durable. I have yet to take it on a trip, but I am much more confident with this adapter than the last one I had. I'll update my review about durability after my next trip.

This nifty product has worked great for me. It's very compact. I've used int in Australia, UK, Japan, Italy and Germany. It can be a little bit of a puzzle to figure out exactly how to configure it for each country, so keep the instruction handy (or look it up digitally). Be aware that it doesn't do voltage conversion for you, so make sure that your device can handle the power output of the country you're in. For example, if your electronics are designed for 110-120V (common in North America) and you’re in a country with 220-240V (common in Europe), you’d need a voltage converter or transformer to safely use your devices. Using them without proper voltage conversion could result in overheating, damage, or even a fire hazard. Note: Many modern electronics, like laptops and phone chargers, are designed to handle a range of voltages (like 100-240V). I've never had any issues with my modern electronics with no adapter.

This thing is pretty darn cool. That being said, I would keep it with the instructions as it is compatible with British, European and Asia countries power systems and adapts to just about any of them, but until you get super familiar with how this thing "transforms" into an adapter for each country, you'll need it. It has functioned in each country I've been to in Europe so far. I expect it will perform in Asia as well. When set up for storage, it is light weight and easy to pack. Great value for the money. I can recommend this highly.

イタリアで使用の為購入しました。 様々な国対応の為、１つでとても役立つと思います。

Nice and simple. Light to carry not bulky, packs flat. Works anywhere.

オーストラリア留学の子供に持たせました。フル活用したそうです。荷物を詰めている時に、色は黒じゃなくて派手な色の方が荷物に紛れずに良かったかもと思いました。

キャップが付いてるからコンセントの 先が曲がる心配がない 元々持っていた物は、キャップがなかった為、旅行中に曲がってしました

This was bought as a gift for someone that travels a lot. That was a while ago - a long while, actually. Never heard of it breaking yet, so clearly it must be doing something right.
