What's not so great: Nothing
I purchased the Dynex Adapter and Converter Unit for a trip to the UK. The unit is versatile and easy to use. The direction that are included in the packaging are easy to follow. For the price, you can't go wrong.

I bought this for a trip to the UK. When I got to the hotel the plug for the UK did not even fit into the wall socket. If you are going to England or Ireland you need an adapter with 3 prongs. This only has two. I don't know if it works anywhere else in the world, but definitely not in the UK.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's not so great: Did not work
This has the adapter and converter option. Still on my trip to London and on the first day both my alarm clock and laptop got fried. It worked fine to re-charge my camera but definitely was not good for my other electronics. Not much option were available if looking for both adapter and converter. Borrowed a computer to make this comment

What's great about it: Easy use
What's not so great: A little heavy
I just got using this over seas and it worked great. I purchased this converter/adapter after doing a little research. After reading some of the bad reviews on how things blew up, I can only guess that they may have purchased the adapter only that is made by the same company and looks almost the same. The adapter version does not have a power converter built in like this item does, so be careful.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Converter
What's not so great: Bulky, heavy weight causes it to fall out of wall
Overall, I'll be looking for a different converter. It's so heavy and bulky that it has a hard time staying plugged in at times, especially when something is plugged into it. It did it's job, but there has to be better options.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

What's great about it: Easy to use, adaptable , doesn't heat up!
What's not so great: The size
Took this on a trip to Mauritius and all 5 of my sisters used it for their various items. My sisters live all over the world so having the ability to plug in a lot of different plugs worked great!
It was plugged in all the time after just day one because my older sister bought a less expensive one from a major department store and it burned out after about three minutes. It actually popped!
Definitely worth the money!
Had to make sure to get home with it cause everyone wanted to take it home.

What's not so great: Does not work
If I could give it 0 stars, I would. I am in the UK right now and unable to use this converter. I plugged the device in at a hotel and it IMMEDIATELY surged. I checked the instructions to make sure that I was using it properly, and to my dismay, found that the device simply DOES NOT WORK. Please do not purchase it. I expect to return it as soon as I get home.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

It gets the job done and you get a few choices so anywhere you travel you will have the right outlets and power converter, Worked great, hairdryer was a little weak though.

What's great about it: worked with iphone
What's not so great: damaged flat iron
This is the first time that I have reviewed a product. I normally do not but this product did not work for the reason it was purchased. I bought this for my wife to use her flat iron while we went to europe. We went to Paris and when she plugged her flat iron in it burned out right away. This thing is junk and now I need to buy a new $200 flat iron.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Not so sure about this one...

What's great about it: Works great as an adapter
What's not so great: Might not work so well as a converter
Works with charging laptops (macbook pro and Asus) but for some reason my iPhone only charges up to 11% when plugged into this converter. Plugged phone back into computer and it charged normally.
Not sure if this was a coincidence but my girlfriends flat iron straightener broke after using it with this product. However,the iron was having issues before it was plugged in so I'm still not sure if this caused it to finally break.
We used this adapter in Italy (and I'm writing this review while I'm here!).
I would recommend this to a friend!

Tried to use it in Hastings England in a hotel room, it blew the breakers so bad, we had to change rooms.
Returned to store for refund.
Glad I had an apple computer and Ipad which did not require this product.

Only had one issue in a recent trip to Europe - iPad wouldn't charge with this device in our last hotel room in Austria. Not sure if it was to blame - once in Germany it charged normally again using this device.

What's great about it: Great adapter.
What's not so great: Horrible converter.
This product works very well as an adapter but when you try to convert the voltage it only works for 10 minutes before it shuts off. It's not a defect, it actually says that in the instructions. It worked great in Germany.
I would recommend this to a friend!
