Insignia™ - Global Travel Adapter Kit - Black

Good compact, small, light adapter that fits plugs in the EU and England. Read the box carefully, this product may not support the electrical outlets of other countries you may visit. This is an ADAPTER, so will not convert voltage. Having said that, most power supplies to laptops already are capable of transforming different power supplies, they just don’t have the right plug scheme. So, the Insignia Plug Adapter worked well. The adapter packs away nicely, taking up minimal luggage space, so, for short business trips to Europe, it works fine. Some things I would like to see improved...... The assembly of different plugs can be connected together for compact storage. After continuous use, the clear plastic piece has already fatigued, and with great certainty, this will be the part that will fail first by cracking, and then you won’t be able to assemble the plugs away nicely. As a temporary solution, you can use a rubber band or piece of tape to hold the plugs together, but, again, you get what you pay for. Also, I haven’t use the plug adapter multiple times to determine the product’s life expectancy, but with gentle use, it should last a long time.

The product is great, as pointed out by most reviewers. However, it worked in only one outlet of all the outlets I tried in EU. The length of the EU prong is not sufficient to fit in the recessed outlets in EU, and as some reviewers mention, it is not a fault of EU that their outlets are recessed but of Insignia's for not doing the research before selling the product. What is the point to have a fantastic product if it is useless? If you are buying it for European travel, think twice as the length of the 'round' outlet is not enough to fit EU outlets. I had to use a competitor's product which had long prong. I bought it as a secondary, which I never used due to this reason. For reference, the length of EU prong in this product is 3/4" and length in the adapter that worked is 1 1/2".

This item is versatile which is good if you're going to a lot of different countries, or if you need coverage of Argentina, which many things on the shelf in your average BestBuy don't cover. I ding it because the pieces don't stay with each other. Somewhere in Buenos Aires a housekeeper in a hotel is saying, "what's this for?" This item doesn't convert voltages, but with modern phone chargers and laptops you don't need voltage conversion. You just need the mechanical ability to plug your charger or laptop power supply in, which this device will do. I rate this a 4 because you'll probably be happy if you end up buying this. But I don't recommend this item if you have time to get a competing item that disassemble into pieces you will lose.

I bought this adapter the night before my European vacation. The directions were fairly self explanatory however the parts were sorta wonky. I bought it to charge my iPhone 6s & the darn thing wouldn't stay plugged in long enough to charge. I finally got it to stay put by propping something against it. Next day wasn't any better as I had to hand hold it to keep the charge. I wouldn't recommend this brand. If return it but I really dislike returning things. I'm not returning to Europe anytime soon so this will probly just end up in a box somewhere : /

Was super concerned about traveling with my IPad Air 2 and my HTC 10 phone and wondered if I needed a converter. Turns out I didn't -- most devices are dual voltage these days. Just plug in the devices charger to the adapter with the proper plug for the outlet and plug it in. Simple! This comes with a range of plugs if you're country hopping and is compact because of how they cleverly fit together. I've only used it in the UK, but it's worked great so far. (Side note, I also bought Insignia's 3 USB International wall charger and that also works great).

I purchased my Insignia™ - Global Travel Adapter Kit at Best Buy in East Hanover, NJ. After I finally found a sales person to help me he asked me how many countries I was going to, told him Italy, he immediately chose this from the rack. I put back the 3 that I was juggling in my arms and went on my way. Worked like a charm in Italy, too bad I also left that adapter in the outlet in the hotel in the country. But, there are other converters for different countries in the box as well, will just have to figure out those countries to visit.

I bought this as an open item for a trip to Europe. Only the lesser voltage adapter was usable. All the outlets i encountered were rounded, so the rectangle design could not be plugged into the outlets that was used for the higher voltage devices. Subsequently I also fried a brand new desktop fan we had brought using the smaller adapter. I encountered this in Germany and Czech Republic. The Hotel in Paris had the standard US plugs in their hotel rooms.

I needed an adapter to plug a charging device with an Australian/New Zealand plug into a US outlet. I had lost the original US plug for the device. It's difficult to find an adapter in the US that makes foreign devices work in the US, but this one did the trick. Its compact interlocking design keeps all four adapters together so hopefully I won't lose any of them.
