Ceptics Travel Adapter with Types A-M Plugs, Travel Plug Adapter Set Compatible with Power Sockets in All Continents, Compact World International Plug Adaptor Kit, Set of 12,GP-12PK

These have been the best adapters for my International work trips: purchased these 2 years for a work trip to the UK and recently--like, literally just got back yesterday from Ireland (a work trip--I work for a Global company --so I am frequently going across "The Pond"). I will be going to Barcelona in Sept... This is an awesome set to have. I am actually going to order Ceptics 12Pk that includes South Africa--just to have it in my luggage closet.SIDE NOTE: I also purchased 1 of the small black ones to take in the office daily when I am overseas-- Ceptics UP-5KP International Worldwide Travel Adapter Plug, 5-Piece Set with Pouch Size: World Set W/ Pouch, Model: UP-5KP (Tools & Outdoor gear supplies) I use it for my laptop (and I plug my work phone and personal phone up to my laptop via USB and they charge through the laptop). Also the black set will charge your device WITHOUT the 3rd prong being plugged in!!TRAVEL TIPS:(A)****Here is a tip I found on Pinterest--buy a Surge Protector--plug the surge protector prongs into the your respective county adapter, then plug the connected adapter and surge protector into the wall>>>> THEN pull in your respective devices--laptop, cameras, phones, tablets/iPads, iPod etc. This little tip has worked well for me for all my international work trips!!! And you save money on purchasing adapters for varying devices --as well as you cut down on running the risk of blowing out your devices...****!!!Make sure you plug up the adapter and surge protector up first, THEN plug your devices in the surge protector!!****!!!Lastly MAKE SURE you get the HIGHEST and MOST-GROUNDED surge protector you can find-- I got mine from Target $19.99 (I am certain there are some awesome ones on Amazon--just happen to purchase mine while in Target). DO NO get a cheap surge protector. I will try to upload a pic/visual sometime soon--feel free to ask me any questions if you have them.Hope this was helpful-- as I didn't know about the surge protector tip--it may be common knowledge by now...ANOTHER TIP: (B) OH and make sure you photo copy your passport, license AND make a list of all credit cards--full card numbers, exp dates and the Toll-Free number of the issuer (on back of card), medical cards (group number and travel outside US number) etc and leave a copy in your hotel room (in the safe)-- in case you lose (or it's stole--I have NEVER had this happen to me-better safe than sorry) your bags/backpack etc That way you will ALWAYS have a copy and any information you need somewhere else BESIDES on your person...Happy AND Safe Traveling,Global Chic

I already have a converter, but some of the adapters have been lost over the years. This was a perfect way to cover all world outlet types at a very reasonable cost!

I use it when I travel.

I recently purchased the Ceptics Travel Adapter with Types A-M Plugs for my next trip. This adapter is a must-have for any frequent traveler, as it allows you to plug in your devices in over 150 countries using its multi-country compatibility. One of the first things I noticed about this adapter is its sturdy and compact design. The adapter features a built-in safety fuse to protect your devices from power surges, which is a great feature to have, especially when traveling to countries with unreliable electrical grids. In terms of functionality, I found the Ceptics Travel Adapter to be extremely user-friendly.

To be honest I have only used the New Zealand angled pin adapter so far, but no issues plugging a US 3 pin device into it, nor plugging the adapter into 20+ different hostel wall sockets. No problems with it being loose or having to hammer it in. You can buy multi-country all-in-one adapters which are bigger than any single adapter in this kit but which might save a bit of space if you really are traveling to all those countries and have to take the whole kit. For most people who are only going on trip requiring one adapter I think these adapters are less finicky and will take up less space than a world adapter.Note I mentioned a grounded, 3 pin plug. I already had a kit like this one but I have one device with a grounded plug and this kit meet those needs. If you all you have are 2 pins you could get slightly lighter and smaller adapters.Realize too that most travel electronics these days can adapt to a range of voltages and all you need for travel are socket adapters, not transformers. I saw several people on my last trip who had smartphones plugged into large transformers when all they really needed was much smaller adapter like the ones in this kit.Travel tip: I used my adapter in conjunction with a Monster travel powerstrip with 12" cable, also sold by Amazon. It allowed me to plug largish battery chargers for my cameras into a 4 socket powerstrip with US sockets, so I only needed one NZ plug adapter for using up to US 4 devices.

Look carefully at which countries it works on but worked great and easy to use.

I like these adapters and their type is clearly labeled. You also get a nice cushy pouch to carry them around in. Depending on where you travel to, you're only a charge away from plugging in care-free! Thanks, Amazon! :-)

I bought this adapter set for a trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina. The adapter worked great for my iPhone and iPad. However, when using this for my portable blender, there was trouble! The blender started smoking and smelled like burning rubber. I realized this adapter set does not convert power, which is essential to have with most products (hairdryer, blender, curling iron). New technology, however, such as cell phones and computers, have the ability to convert the power without having a special adapter.Overall, the value is good for the money. But please don't make the same mistake I did and figure since the plug fits, the wattage is correct and everything will work like it does in the U.S. It won't!If you want to convert wattage, you'll have to buy the more expensive adapters.
