 Will NOT work with 3-pronged (Grounded) plugs! April 22, 2008

AUUUUGH!!!
After hours of rattling through website after website, learning the difference between a converter and an adapter, having a crash course in watts and volts and hertz and computers and hair dryers and coming to the brink of insanity because, it seems, there isn't a website in existence that gives enough information about these accessories to learn what a 4-second encounter with the actual item in its package in a brick and mortar store would tell you (for instance: CAN I STICK MY COMPUTER PLUG INTO THE DAMN THING?!), I found this beauty. Here. And all my questions appeared to have been answered. So I, being the trusting soul that I am, purchased it.
Well, I didn't know what I didn't know until the product arrived.
Now I know what I didn't know.
I am livid.
THIS PRODUCT WILL NOT WORK WITH YOUR PLUGS THAT HAVE 3 PRONGS!
NOT EVEN IF YOU PRAY REALLY HARD!
NOT EVEN IF YOU SACRIFICE A GOAT.
NOT EVEN IF YOU TRY IT ON A BOAT.
IT WILL NOT WORK WITH THEM ON A TRAIN
IT WILL NOT WORK WITH THEM ON A PLANE
IT WILL NOT WORK WITH 3-PRONGED PLUGS
IT WILL NOT VACUUM ANY RUGS.
Back it goes, to the place where junky products (that more information would have saved me the trouble of purchasing) go.
With PC Mover and that other adapter I bought from Dell (the one that was also, obviously, manufactured in a world where all the plugs have 2 prongs).
Did I mention AUUUUUGH!!!!!
So.
On the off chance that this review will not get buried under the pile of reviews written by people with, apparently, no 3-pronged devices, I submit it to Amazon with a prayer for all of those people who are lucky enough to own portable computers or other electronics that come with 3-pronged plugs AND who are fortunate enough to be embarking on some sort of international travel:
BUY THE BELKIN UNIVERSAL JOBBIE...THE WHITE ONE.
(it's probably above this review in the place where other recommended products live. The Belkin comes from a world where 3-pronged devices exist and are plentiful, roaming the land with their electronic devices in tow, happily converting electricity from 120 to 240 and back again as they enrich their owner's lives with electronic goodness.)
Thanks for reading.
I don't know about you, but I feel better now.
 A Practical and Convenient Adapter to Carry on in All your Trips September 4, 2006

If you travel overseas you will definitively love this adapter. Unlike other travel adapters that have several pieces that you need to carry around, this has all the plug connectors integrated into one compact self contained cylindrical unit in which you select the type of plug used in the country you are visiting. Absolutely the most practical unit I have used. It is also safe to use since it has a built-in fuse.
This may seems obvious but you need to know that this device does not convert the voltage so don't plug your electronic devices unless its power units states that the Input voltage ranges from 110 to 240 VAC @ 50-60 Hz (probably the most common around Europe, Asia and America).
Absolutely a most have if you travel with your laptop, digital camera, cell phone and other suitable devices.
Does NOT work in China March 8, 2007
B. L. Remick (Carmel, CA USA)

I bought this for a trip to China to charge cameras and batteries which do not require a voltage converter. Chinese receptacles require a three prong plug. The top prong is longer than the lower two angled prongs and actually opens the 'doors' for the lower prongs to enter the receptacle. This adapter only has the lower two prongs. Why not state that this adapter will work in all countries except China and ......
Fortunately, the hotels we stayed in loaned us converters so we could charge our equipment.
Will not buy Kensington product again.
loved it April 8, 2006

used 2 of these while we were on vacation in egypt for 3 weeks. Never had a problem and they were flawless. To the gent that noted they fell out of the socket on him and they were to big...I can only say if you don't push them all the way in they and any other device you use will fall out...and there big because they can be used in th EU, Japan, Africa, US, ect... if you wish to spend the money on an all inclusive solution and travel to various parts of the world...then this is a good choice rather than having a hodge podge of adaptors lying about.
Not very small adapter February 28, 2006

This adapter is certainly not small. It is large because it is an all-in-one, which sounds good, but in reality doesn't cut it. It is so big that it sometimes will fall out of sockets. The internal fuse also blew-out when I was overseas rendering it useless. I am now using the much smaller regional adapters which can be purchased at Office Depot or Staples for $3-4.
