Simple charging solution

My husband had been having problems cord charging his Galaxy Note 5. I had unfortunately bought a charging pad online that turned out to be a counterfeit & wouldn't charge the phone. Lesson learned. Best Buy had the genuine Samsung article at the best price going. Charges the phone easily & quickly. I thought the pad light would be obnoxious at night in the bedroom, but facing the wall, it's really quite subtle (unlike the cheap knock-off). Very pleased.

A cheap thrill in good way

Picked this up in a Deal of the Day for $2.99 and it's been definitely worth the price of admission. I've been having a blast with the silly thing! Compatible with Google's Carboard App (syncs right up with the QR code printed on it) and you're good to go. Lots of great 360° videos available in YouTube for it, as well (be sure to hit the viewer icon in the lower right corner!). I used some spare elastic and Velcro and rigged up straps for it. A great bit of inexpensive VR fun.

Great adapter
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: xarophti
from Philadelphia suburbs
Verified Purchase:Yes
This all in one adapter worked just great on a recent European trip. This DOES NOT convert voltage, but many electronic devices today (phones, computers) are dual voltage & only need the adapter to fit a foreign plug. One outlet in our room had a new universal receptacle, but this worked great for another outlet that did not. A little chunky in size (about half of my fist), but very lightweight.

good phone system
on May 20, 2015
Posted by: xarophti
Verified Purchase:Yes
Bought this to replace an aging phone system that wouldn't hold a charge (even with replaced batteries). It had very good sound, and we like the three handsets. The digital answering system is good, and can be set to answer before my phone company system (I prefer to use this one). Stores lots of numbers in the directory. I really like the ability to screen calls from the handset. Handset coverage to base station is good all through the house and into the yard outside. My only quibble is that I wish the message waiting alert beep were a bit louder. Overall a very good unit.

Can I purchase the laydown type from Best Buy? If yes, can you send me a link so that I can purchase it now? Thank you so much, Mary Judd

This is the laydown type. The phone sits flat on it and is not propped up.

Does it work on a galaxy note 3

YES YES YES! My exact phone. Leave the rubber band in place (the friction helps keep the phone from shifting). One reason I decided to try this was because it was inexpensive and my (our!) older phone isn't compatible with fancier VR units. The little control button with capacitive fabric is quite clever.

I have a hair dryer from Japan and I want to use it in the US. Will this adapter work? I need it to convert 100v-120v.

This does NOT convert voltage. It is an adapter plug ONLY. Japanese voltage is 100V. US current is 120V. The plugs are the same. If your dryer can take 120V, you probably don't need an adapter or converter

Can this adapter be used with high-power devices, like a hair dryer or hair straightener?

Check the voltage requirements of the device. Most of these types of devices made in the US are single voltage (120V 60 Hz only) and will require a voltage converter, which this is NOT. Look for a heavier duty one, as well.

I have an Australian laptop.will this adapter work for me in Canada?

The adapter will work, as it has a receptacle for Australian plug input & North American plug blades (use USA setting) for output. It does not convert or step up voltage, however. As long as your laptop charger is multi-voltage & will operate at 120V 60 Hz, it will work in Canada.

I sleep with a C-Pap machine. Am going to Ireland. Will this run my machine.

If your C-Pap has a three-prong (grounded) plug (highly likely) you will NOT be able to use this adapter. This adapter is not for use with three-prong grounded US plugs. You will need to find an adapter that will fit a grounded plug or (more likely, as the C-Pap probably is NOT dual voltage, you will need a voltage converter).

Will this work in Portugal or do I need a Travel Converter?

This will depend on the device. If the plug or rating listed on your device says only "120V 60 Hz", then you will need a converter. If you are charging a phone or computer, chances are your plug will list (small printing!) "100-240V 50-60Hz" or "110-220V 50-60Hz". Then it is dual voltage & an adapter is all you will need. This adapter does include a Type F European prong plug.
