Essential for travelers
Very happy about this best buy. The adapters included cover GB, IRL, Africa, Asia, AUS, China, EU, Caribbean, NoAmerica, SoAmerica, Middle East. A replacement fuse for the converter is included. You'll need to use the converter to transform the electricity from 220V to the 110V standard in the US. This is ideal for small travel electric appliances such as small irons, hair dryers, or to recharge your cell phone. I was concerned about charging my phone using only the adapter and that was the main reason for buying this kit with the converter included. I'm using it in EU with no problem. Also everything fits into a small pouch included in the package.

Great power convertor through South America
Third power convertor I bought for travel. First two failed on trips. This one traveled well worked perfectly every time 5 different hotels in Peru and Bolivia. Has the connectors to fit the sockets and did not get hot and overheat with my wife's curling iron or hairdryer like the two other types I had. Rated for 1500 watts and took it like a champ. Best convertor I have had. Reccommemd

great set and works perfectly
This is a good set of travel adapters and converters. I have an older voltage converter which is a lot heavier and did not have as much wattage rating as the converter from Samsonite. I like the most (if not all) the plugs just connect together so you don't loose them. On a recent trip to India, the corresponding plugs worked flawlessly. If you barely travel, its good for you to have this set on hand and not try to buy it at your destination or worse yet, the airport.

Useful product
I had purchased this when planning to go on a 2-week vacation. I had also purchased Kanex adapter at the same time. I decided to stick with Kanex because it offered the same functionality for lower price.

A must have accessory for traveling in Europe
If you ever plan to travel to Europe, you will need an electric plug adapter/converter kit. While most electronics claim they can handle 110-120/220-240 voltage, why risk blowing up your laptop, tablet, or telephone chargers. I addition, the plugs in Europe are not all consistent. We in America think we are the center of the universe. Well in Europe the wall socket is rated at 220-240 volts. that's twice of that in America. We use 220-240 for heavy duty appliances such as your electric stove and water heater. The Europeans use it for everything. It's safer to travel with one of these. It comes with a variety of adapter plugs (to fit those Euro electric sockets) and it will downstep 220/240 to 110/120. As I say, better safe than sorry. And the best thing is: It's cheaper to buy it at Best Buy than trying to buy one at the front desk in Europe.
