Customers find the power converter works well. However, the construction quality receives negative feedback, with multiple customers describing it as poor.
This adapter comes with all the plug styles I need. Two shortcomings worth mentioning: 1. There is no ground connector so it is not as safe. 2. The construction is quite poor. Switching from plug style often gets stuck.
The product was convenient during my trip to the UK and Europe, as I didn't have to get multiple adapters. It's relatively portable, which is a plus. As others have mentioned, when plugging your device in, it can feel like you're forcing it enough that you might break it, but in fact I never did actually break it, although some of the construction seems a little weak.
BTW, make sure you know this is an adapter, not a converter. Make sure your devices are rated to run at all the required voltages, lest you get blowed up.
The only problems I had with it were sometimes the UK sliders would need to be coerced a bit more forcefully than should be required in order to get the prongs out. (Make sure the prongs lock into place, or else they'll just be pushed back when you try to plug the adapter in.) The other problem was that the size of the adapter could be a problem when trying to plug into tight spots.
I might be an exception, but for me it was completely waste of money buying this adaptor. I used this only a few times and then it was lying in my bag until my next trip overseas. It was very disappointing that switch to move across the different location was completely locked in one position (center) and does not move. I can not use any other positions but Europe.
We do not expect this kind of product from Samsonite.
I bought this for an upcoming international trip to the UK, France and Italy... It would have been nice to know in advance that it only supports up to 1500 watts/240 volts... my dual voltage hair dryer is 1600 watts/250 volts... it doesn't list the capacity anywhere on the packaging, I realized it once I opened it (it's noted on the actual plug)... hopefully, Amazon will let me return this item...
I recently purchased this product for a trip to the UK. While it did the job when my macbook pro power adapter was plugged into it, every time I inserted the adapter it felt as though the Samsonite Worldwide Adaptor Plug was going to snap in half. On top of that the adapter fell out with even with the slightest touch causing me to use exceptional grace as though playing jenga upon every insertion and I couldn't put even a minute amount of tension on the chord without the adapter falling out.
the product is very useful and would have been great value for money had the finishing of the product be better. the adjustments are not at all smooth and it seems that, every time u change the setting, somethign or the other will break down int he adaptor. in brief, prefer some other make of this. not up to the mark of SAMSONITE name.disappointed.
