I wanted something that would be the last travel adapter I'd need, that i could bring anywhere in the world and not have to think about it, while still being small and lightweight. The Kikkerland travel adapter fits that bill. It's the same design as the Japanese brand, Road Warrior, but at least on Amazon, Kikkerland is cheaper. I like that the prongs fold in for portability and that the two plug components can fit together, as pictured. The only wish I'd have is that the two prongs at the top for UK/Europe slid out, rather than always protruding - then this would be perfect. I'm a little worried about durability with them sticking out. Also, it was slightly larger than I thought it'd be, although still very compact. Pictured next to an iPhone 7 for scale.
Pros:
- Smart design, packs light and smaller than any alternatives by a large margin
- Cheaper than many all-in-one's despite being as or more functional
Cons:
- Some wall sockets do fit loose, which isn't the fault of the kikkerland, but it's normally not a problem; with this travel adapter, because the weight of the adapter itself + your own plug will lever the weight so far away from the wall, loose wall sockets are a problem. Fortunately, this seems less common than common, but is definitely annoying when it happens
- Two prongs must stick out at all times

Please be aware that this model will only accept US or Euro style plugs and is NOT meant for grounded (3-prong) plugs. Another thing to bear in mind (but this applies to most travel adapters) is that if you plug something heavy into it, it might fall out of the outlet. But it does support the weight of the safety connector on my wife's hair drier (which made her very happy), and has also worked with an assortment of Apple chargers.
Update: have been using one of these for 3 years now and it still works great. Can’t imagine living without it anymore.
PROS:
- The small, versatile design and minimal weight is perfect for packing.
- Will convert basically any outlet you throw at it.
- Great price.
The transformers-like mechanism is great, converting over 150 outlets.
CONS:
- Works with a 3 prong US plug (Type B), but doesn't ground the wire.
- It’s not always a snug fit and can come loose from the outlet if you have something heavy plugged in.
- It’s a converter and not dual voltage, but that’s OK as most modern day devices are dual voltage. Be sure to check the voltage of your devices before using.
- It doesn’t always feel the most durable, and some of the moving parts can stick.
- One of the configurations can block the outlet next to it.
This adapter does not take nor adapt to the Swiss, grounded plug where the middle earth-pin is round, and the plugs are 3 in a row. In fact, most multi-country travel adapters do not fit the Swiss plugs because they are so different.
The build quality is ok at best probably due to its light weight. Adjusting the prongs feels a bit fiddly and fragile at the beginning, but is secure once adjusted. As long as the receiving outlet is not too tight, then this does what it's designed to do. It has so far survived over 40 trips in the past 2 years to countries all over Asia and Europe.
This travel adapter is rated to 6A and not the usual 13A that most Universal Adapters are. As in most travel adapters, the middle pin is plastic and does not provide grounding.
Recommended as a lightweight backup travel adapter for use in N. America, UK, Europe (except Switzerland), Australia and parts of Asia.
Use in UK/Ireland:
Several other reviewers have said that this adapter does not fit into the sockets in the UK & Ireland. This is just simply a misunderstanding where the assumption was that the UK & Ireland are in Europe and so the user configures this adapter to fit a Continental-European socket. The correct format/configuration for this adapter is to follow the instructions for Hong Kong/India (former British colonies) to be used for the UK & Ireland. Additionally, there is a safety feature built into the new British-style sockets where one must push the top pin into the slot to open the slots for the 2 bottom pins. To conclude, this works in the UK, but you must follow the directions for Hong Kong/India.

Ya lo utilice en Chile, Argentina y Perú, aunque en Perú el estándar es el Americano me hospede en un hotel bonito pero muy viejo y en el cual los toma corrientes no tenían tierra por lo que era imposible conectar mi Laptop, por lo que utilice el adaptador, con un movimiento de las terminales pude cambiarlo a Americano puede ver las imágenes. Muy satisfecho con la compra lo recomiendo ampliamente.

The rounded (European) prongs are also not straight but bent and slanted, which they should not be.
Overall a nice lightweight and slim adapter and I think I just received a defective unit. Shame, as I live in a remote area and would return it but it's too much hassle.
Thanks for reading.
