and I like this adapter

I travel a lot for work and pleasure, mostly abroad, and I really like this adapter. Its shape makes it a lot easier to pack than most other square or bulky adapters I've tried or seen. The double socket and USB charger also work great with an adapter. Colleagues to whom I recommended this ended up buying this adapter as well. The only minor inconvenience I've encountered is that in countries with switches on the outlet, you may find that the width of the adapter forces you to press the switchโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Price
Cons
  • New competitors

Compact size but doesn't fit Australian sockets

This adapter is great, smaller and more compact than my previous adapter. However, there is a problem with this adapter. In Australia, most sockets have a switch just above the socket. This adapter covers the outlet switch making it difficult to operate the switch, but more importantly it doesn't rest against the wall plate so it dangles a bit. It's still fine, and as long as I make sure it's used properly, it will work. I still prefer it to my older one because of its shape and size. Whilstโ€ฆ

Pros
  • Delivery was very quick
Cons
  • Not bad

Overheated several times and stopped working.

Overheated after several uses. The adapter is great - it's thin, light and works well enough, but on my second day of use I noticed my phone wasn't charging. The adapter felt hot and smelled like burnt plastic. I turned it off, waited an hour or so and it worked again with no issues. I noticed the same thing the next day, but this time I wasn't near the outlet when it stopped working. It was too hot to touch and I was afraid to use it again. I have requested a refund. I would give it one starโ€ฆ

  • Confident

Worked well in Peru

I bought this for a trip to Peru and it worked well. This is not a power converter, but an adapter that allows devices that are compatible with 220 volt systems, i.e. Apple power supplies for iPhone and iPad, to work. I only gave 4 stars because the USB power failed after using it once or twice. I have had other 220 compatible USB power adapters that only had a US plug which I used with this adapter to make it work. The only caveat I have to offer is to make sure whatever you plug in willโ€ฆ

Pros
  • One year trial
Cons
  • No color required

Best travel adapter I've seen

First, ignore the other review that this adapter doesn't work with G-type plugs in the UK/Ireland - it works perfectly. Check out the photo I uploaded to confirm this. This travel adapter is incredibly compact compared to all other global adapters I've seen (single region adapters are obviously much smaller), and you can only connect one device at a time. During a recent two-week holiday to Germany, France, the UK and Ireland, this adapter worked great, charging all five devices we took withโ€ฆ

Pros
  • GOLS certified
Cons
  • Reliability

Small and versatile.

This nice little adapter isn't tiny, but it's smaller than other international adapters and you get a USB connection! It works on both 110V and 220V, even USB. I have verified that the USB port works in US, Brazil 110V, Brazil 220V, UK and France. It did seem to heat up a bit when using the USB connector in the Brazilian 220V plug, but I haven't seen this with other 220V plugs (although I will note that I didn't use the same physical adapter both times used, although the models were the same)โ€ฆ

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Only available in black

Great concept, with one fatal flaw.

I really liked the adapter when I first got it. It is unobtrusive, has 2 sockets and a USB port. What's not to like? The two adapter pins for EU and UK are the Achilles heel. It's not entirely Monster's fault, but they should have taken into account that some outlets won't work with this adapter. Sometimes when the socket is tight and you use some force when inserting the adapter, the pins will bend. There is no support for the prongs, so the adapter often gets stuck in European sockets andโ€ฆ

  • normal price
