 Great Product August 17, 2008
Great product, convenient in many different countries. One note is to make sure you carry an extra fuse in the event you should blow one. Very easy to use and change them, though.
 Great All-in-One Adapter, works in China August 13, 2008

I just got back from China visiting Beijing, Xian, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Suzhou, Wuxi, Hong Kong, and other places I forgot. I did not encounter any major problems when using this adapter. Most places in China uses an outlet that includes a V shape and/or 2 prong rounded. However, the 2 prong rounded outlet has a 2-in-1 and is able to fit the 2 straight plugs that DO NOT have the holes (the standard for U.S plugs has the holes, so do not plug the U.S. plugs in the China outlet or else sparks will fly).
Of all the hotels I've been in, I could not use the V shape one except for one hotel in Xian. It seems the Kensington's adapter's V shape is slightly larger than the standard China plugs which is why it didn't fit. Pretty much all of the outlets (with the 2 prong rounded outlet) were able to fit the 2 prong rounded adapter. The minor problems with using the 2 prong rounded plug was that it felt a little loose especially for some electronics that uses a large base for a plug, like the Apple Macbook and if you have to connect a transformer to it. But these problems were only minor and I did not miss a charge at all over my 3 week stay in China. Hong Kong uses a differently plug which uses 3 large rectangular prongs. The adapter has that included as well and worked without problems.
This adapter saves you the trouble of carrying so many pieces. I bought two of these for my trip to China and my sister was amazed at how convenient it was to use and carry so I gave one to her. I would highly recommend it for anyone traveling to China. But if you want to use the V outlet or the U.S 3 prong w/ground instead, I suggest buying another adapter for that.
Woked great in Belgium August 4, 2008
Adapter used in Brussels for computer and cell phone power. The adapter worked as stated and as confirmed in many other reviews. I bought this adapter because of its positive review history.
 Misleading claims! July 8, 2008

This product does NOT support laptops or other products that require a ground (for US plugs). I have a standard Dell laptop, so I assume it's very common that most US laptop plugs have the third plug for the ground. They market this product for laptops, but this product has no hole for the ground plug and the website/description does not explain that. I had to buy a different adapter with at the airport, so basically this product ended up costing me $60.
Very practical July 5, 2008
This is worth the money. Very practical and it worked better than other adapters I have tried unsuccessfully before.
