OREI Grounded Universal 2 in 1 Plug Adapter Type L for Italy, Uruguay & more - CE Certified - RoHS Compliant WP-L-GN

Easy and convenient for overseas travels. It seems like every country in Europe has a different plug adapter (not really), and I needed this one for a particular trip. I just tossed it in my bag, and was able to pull it out whenever I needed to charge my phone abroad. It was a good value for the money.

so perfect with traveling, very easy to use

I purchased several of these for a recent trip to Europe and Africa. All the adapters were from the same manufacturer and every one of them worked well every time I used it.If you are looking for information on what kind of adapter you will need for your electronics or whatever else you might plug in, here it is very simply:1) This is simply an adapter, much like the one you might use at home to convert a three prong plug into a two prong one for an older outlet. It DOES NOT convert the power supply in any way!2) To determine if you can use this adapter for your computer, phone, whatever, look at the back of your device's charging plug or power supply and look for the label with all the small print electrical information on it. Somewhere on the label, near the top, you will see the word "INPUT" with some numbers following it, usually (hopefully) "100-240v." If it DOES have those numbers (100-240v, sometimes 100-250v) you can use this adapter almost anywhere around the world without any problems because your power supply can handle any voltage within the range of 100 and 240 volts and if there is a place in the world outside that range, I don't know where it is. Your device's power source is handling the conversions you need to safely operate your device so all you need is this adapter so it will fit in the local outlet.3) On some devices, especially older ones and things like curling irons and hair dryers, that "INPUT" area will only have one number, probably "110v." That devise will not convert correctly and you will immediately with nasty smells burn out whatever you try to plug in when the massive 240v power surges through your unprepared device. I wouldn't even bother taking stuff like that overseas.The price was very low and considering how I had no problems with any of them, I would rate them as an excellent value. Since the price is so low, I would recommend purchasing two so you have one as a back-up or for the occasional travel companion who, inevitably, doesn't even think about stuff like this.

These adapters worked perfectly in old-style power sockets in Italy.

I ordered this Orei adapter from Amazon for a vacation in Italy. It worked perfectly, even with several items attached. It never came unplugged from the weight (see below). I used it with a grounded US plug, but of course it would work with ungrounded. It also had ports to take other types of plugs. I stayed in four hotels, from ultra-high tech facilities to a pretty old one, and had no issues with the plug. Since we carried three cameras, two iPhones and an iPhone battery case (and considered taking a laptop,) and anticipated some hotels might not have many wall plugs or secure voltage, I also took a Belkin BST300 SurgePlus direct plug surge protector (the 10 watt version, NOT the 5 watt,) with three standard US plug ports and two USB ports. At each hotel I plugged the Orei Grounded Universal plug into an Italian outlet, plugged the Belkin into the Orei, and had five ports available off one wall plug. To be sure of having flexibility of location, I also took a standard extension cord, but never needed it. A standard extension cord surge protector would work as well as the Belkin for standard plugs, but the added convenience of the dedicated USB ports was a major convenience, allowing me to charge up to five USB items at once (three was the most I ever needed)- with no noticeable loss of power - using a combination of direct USB plugs and the standard USB adapters that come with some USB products, such as iPhone. The Orei adapter was always able to stay firmly plugged in despite the added weight of the Belkin and several plugs. Considering the low price ($6), convenient size and the performance of the item, how could I complain?

I got this for our trip to Italy hoping that we could use it in all our hotels and we were not disappointed. All of them, including the older ones, have the newer 3 prong outlets so this fit perfectly. I also got a portable power strip that I plugged into this to allow us to charge 3-4 different devices at once. We had no problems charging our cell phones, DSLR camera batteries and tablet anywhere in Italy using this adapter. Its compact size made it easy to carry in my backpack without being obtrusive or bulky.As a backup I also got a 2 prong adapter just in case. It was not necessary but it came in handy when we all needed to charge our devices overnight. If you are trying to power anything made in the past few years then this adapter should fit your needs nicely.

This is NOT a transformer/converter. Please don't listen to the idiots leaving 1 star ratings for a product that works exactly as it's supposed to and exactly as the description says it does. The 1 star ratings are clearly from those who ruined their own appliances assuming this converts electricity from 110v to 220v or those who simply didn't read the capacity of their own appliances beforehand. This is not what this adapter is for. Something as simple and tiny as this couldn't possibly be a converter, that's just common sense. Not only that, the listing clearly states that this is only an adapter, and not a converter.That said, this adapter works exactly as it should. I've had no problems so far. They fit perfectly, not to snug and not loose either. I ordered this (Type L) after moving from the US to Italy and they match the outlets of our house without issue. I highly recommend these. In fact, I've reordered more!
