What's not so great: Too heavy, not enough power
I recently went to South Korea and found this device is just too heavy to use in there outlets and the two connecting pieces of this device don't stay connected together, plus the weight causes it to fall out of the outlet. If you can some how find a way to get it to stay in the wall it will probably not even give you enough power to even heat up a curling iron (which was my problem). I also don't like that it only has two outlet holes so you won't be able to use it for devices that need 3 holes (like my laptop charger). I will definitely be returning this product.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Traveling to Spain

What's great about it: Variety of plugs & takes guesswork of not knowing which one is needed.
We travelled to Spain & wasn't sure which plugs were needed adapter only or converters also. This package gave us all!
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's not so great: Too heavy
With weight being an issue in luggage, when I travel, I found this converter much heavier then the one own.

Review 4 for Dynex - 1875W Converter/Adapter Set
Just what I was looking for
Customer Rating

What's great about it: Covers most countries with included adapters; convenient carrying bag
What's not so great: The transformer is a bit bulky and heavy
I don't routinely travel internationally, but when I do, this product will be going with me. Everything I need is included in a convenient travel pouch. The transformer is a bit bulky & heavy, and sometimes falls out of the wall socket; that can quickly be propped up with a phone book or something. The 'low/high' wattage button is a big seller for me. I can charge my iPhones or run a hair dryer using the same product. Thats great. I just bought a second one for another upcoming trip!
I would recommend this to a friend!

Review 5 for Dynex - 1875W Converter/Adapter Set
Exactly as described
Customer Rating
5.0
What's great about it: Variety of plug adapters for several countries and travel case
What's not so great: Kind of big for a travel adapter
This is a great product for those travelers who are looking for a multi-country adapter. It is also great that it converts the voltage to match the type of item you're trying to use with a flick of a switch. Make sure you read the instructions on what items need to use the "HIGH" vs. "LOW" mode... my wife destroyed her hair straightener as she thought the switch was on and off. All in all, good product and worked for us.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Easy to use. Great versatility.
If you are going overseas you definitely need this to hook up your camera battery to recharge. I believe this adapter allows enough wattage to compare to a typical wall outlet. All in all it served us very well and with all the adapter pieces we were able to hook up two devices to European power. Its definitely strong enough to take a blow dryer.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Saw the other reviews but still purchased the item. We went to Italy for 10 days and the wife used this for her hair dryer and flat iron. Other converters have a time limit of 15 minutes of consistent usage on high voltage items, but this one did not. Our last converter from Radio Shack did not last for a 10 day trip to India, and also damaged the wife's flat iron.
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Nothing
What's not so great: Everything
I bought this before going on a trip to England. It worked great for the first 4 days or so, then it stopped working. My trip was for 10 days, but luckily my friend had one so I could share with her. Of course I lost my receipt so I am out 40 bucks. Don't buy this converter, buy the cheap $20 Dynex converter. My friend has the other one and it has worked for over a month for her. Also that one is smaller and easier to use.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Purchased this as we were leaving for Ireland. Worked well, no issues other than found other brands and items that would have done the job for less.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.
