D pattern slip-on adaptor plug. Most common plug pattern in the world, including Continental Europe. Accepts both parallel-blade plugs and round-pin transformer/converter plugs, as well as polarized plugs (where one blade is wider than the other). Compact housing fits into the most restrictive recessed European sockets (Swiss, French-Belgian and Schuko). Also valuable as extension plug to allow our voltage-changing transformers to make contact in recessed sockets around the world.

Good design, low profile
By A R., CT in July, 2010
• This unit worked well with my electronics and had a nice low profile so that it could be easily stored. Not ideal with Apple plugs, which slide right out and cannot be bent to create more friction, but this is not a design flaw of this product. However, you may need to figure out a way to keep Apple plugs from slipping out. Overall, I was pleased. I recommend getting more than one so you can charge up multiple items at the same time.

polarized -- very important
By Elizabeth T., NV in May, 2010
• Cheap adapter sets may not be polarized, and if you're just going to Europe, you don't need all those other adapters anyway. Get 3 or 4 of these instead to connect to all your cords when you travel.

Indispensible in continental Europe.
By F. Mark C., MN in May, 2010
• These adapters are simple and cheap. They are essential for continental Europe. The UK uses the much better and safer MK plugs, and Magellan's have those adapters also.

Remember European voltage is 240 Volts, so you can only use appliances that have a voltage switch or will handle a voltage range of 120 to 240 Volts.

If you connect a device that is only rated for 120 Volts and you use one of these you will have instant destruction of your device with smoke and flame.

Worked great
By Lisa M., AR in May, 2010
• I used this along with the surge protector in South Korea as well as Israel. Worked great with my cpap machine that I use for my sleep apnea and charging my cell phone. I cannot speak to using with curlers or straighteners, but have to think it would have worked great. Online help is very helpful when you don't know from reading catalogue which item you need.

This was all I needed!
By Mark K., CA in March, 2010
• I bought a few of these adaptors for my electronic devices I brought on my trip. In fact, all I needed were adaptors. My US electronic devices were able to take up to 240 volts, so no converter was necessary. Read the small print on your plugs. It may save you from buying a converter.

A Must Have Item
By Lee K., CA in December, 2009
• Going to Europe this is a necessity. Also, the price is right. I use it for my cell phone charger, blow dryer, and electric razor. Thanks.

Convenient plugs
By Naett P S., MT in October, 2009
• Attaching one of these to aeacah dual voltage appliance, such as curlers, dryers and coffee pots make them all useable at the same time, no switching around and waiting. I can make coffee and do my hair at the same time.

Indespensible for Electronics 115v/60Hz to 220v.50Hz
By Gary B., OH in July, 2009
• Not a transformer, this handy item is useful for all of your devices that can use alternative current types. I use them for my electric shaver charger, powering my minidisc machine, C-Pap machine (for sleep apnea), battery charger for digital camera, and AA size battery charger for NiMH and other rechargable batteries. It's polorized, and simply allows a transition from US "blade" plugs to European double rod plugs. Read instructions for your electronic devices to make sure they are compatable.

Great product, great price!
By Lisa B., NY in July, 2009
• These adaptors worked great in both Rome and Paris! I brought several of these with me on my trip abroad and they worked fabulously. I was pleased to find such a great product at a very reasonable price through a reputable company. I would strongly encourage anyone traveling abroad to bring plug adapters with you. **Please note that this is only an adapter, you may also need a voltage converter for some items.

Fine adapters
By Benson W., NC in June, 2009
• I can't think of any way these could be improved.

Saved my hair style
By Rebecca K., WI in May, 2009
• This little gem saved my hairstyle. On a previous trip to Europe my curling iron would not work with the converter I brought. Discovered that my curling iron is dual voltage, check the fine print on yours. Plugged my curling iron into this adapter and it worked GREAT! Check before you go to make sure your heating appliance's prong will plug into the adapter. Not all adapters will accommodate the wider prong of heating appliances

Adaptor Plubs
By Patricia H., DC in May, 2009
• We appreciate being able to buy these European style adaptor plugs individually from you instead of the usual multi-plug package. The products arrived timely. We always buy from you for all of our travel supplies (we live part-time in Europe). Thank you for such good service and great products.

hey, it works as a convetor plug when traveling overseas.
By robert p., OH in February, 2009
• What's not to like. It's as small as such a plug can be and you can just get the one needed for Europe. I always pack two on a trip across the pond in case I lose one or forget to take it out of the outlet when leaving a hotel room.

well made good product
By andrew r., FL in January, 2009
• As advertised, good price for plug adapter, also the web site is good to find the adapter for your country. Would like to see them also all together for sale.

Adapter converter
By Anonymous in December, 2008
• Works great in European cities and Israel. I have complete set in the bag. Unfortunately, in a hurry, when I unplugged my curling iron, this stayed in the socket. This is a replacement for my set.

Adaptor is not a converter
By Anonymous in November, 2008
•   The adaptor plug works just fine to change to "prongs" on your american appliance to fit a european receptacle. However, you must remember that this does NOT change the power requirements. If your appliance is 110 you still need a CONVERTER to change the power. We discovered that most cell phone chargers and most battery chargers are DUAL powered and all you need is this adaptor. But toothbrushes, computers, etc. likely are not.

By Charlotte D., AR in October, 2008
•   We recently traveled to Italy. This adaptor plug worked great...thank goodness we had it.

By Anonymous in September, 2008
•   It is a lot cheaper to buy the adaptors I need rather than sets with ones I never use. I keep extras of these on hand, I loan them out and lose them. Great price, fast shipping!
