 A travel must if travelling to Australia and the UK February 1, 2010

Great little product at a great price and does the job well. Have paid over $20 for these items at airports
Perfectly functional December 19, 2009

This adapter does exactly what it is supposed to do. It converts the standard US grounded prongs to fit NZ outlets. It does not convert the power, but I used it for my laptop which has that little box in the middle of the power cord designed to already do that. I was very happy to have this as none of my other adapters were grounded, and I wanted to make sure my computer still was.

I was about to order this, until I saw shipping was more than the adapter!
 Plug adapter review March 3, 2009
Dylan Frey (Penn State, PA)
This product is worth the money, as long as you do not care how it looks.
The only thing to keep in mind is that this converts the plug, not the voltage; you still need a voltage adapter if your appliance does not already support the required wall voltage.
Good adapter - Will work for most devices November 9, 2008

Keep in mind that these adapters do not change the voltage! You need a converter for that (if you really need to change the voltage). The U.S. uses 120V at 60Hz where Australia and New Zealand use 240V at 50Hz.
Before plugging devices into this, you need to make sure that they can withstand 240V. If not, you may damage the device if you use this. You can easily check by reading the fine print on the device, the plug, or the power transformer that goes with the device. Worst case, you should be able to find this information in the manual. Devices will specify an "Input" range. For this to work, the range needs to extend up to 240V. For example, most compatible devices will say: Input 110V-240V, 50Hz-60Hz.
If the input voltage does not go up to 240V, then you need to buy a converter that will convert 240V down to 120V. Search for "travel converter" on Amazon.
Don't let this scare you. Just make sure you do your homework in advance. You will be pleasantly surprised that most devices support the higher input voltage since they are made to be sold internationally and fit with different plugs. You don't need to buy a large converter and carry it around if you don't need it.
This grounded adapter will work for 2 prong or 3 prong devices. You can alternatively buy an adapter without a ground, but it will only work for 2 prong devices.
We bought the grounded and regular version of this adapter for a trip to New Zealand and Australia.
