Apple World Travel Adapter Kit
Excellent product for frequent travelers and expats
Written by BB from Heidelberg

This set is particularly useful if you're living overseas or are frequently traveling there for longer durations. For shorter term…Read more travel, it's cheaper and easier to use the basic electronics converter (my husband does this for his PC). That being said, this set has been very useful to me. I spend a fair amount of time in Europe and it has been fantastic (and very convenient) to just switch out the plug rather than having to use a stand alone converter. It's a great product, but it's probably overkill for most overseas travelers.

It is very useful
Written by NP from Washington

I bought the kit when I was going to England to visit my sister over holidays and had a G4 at the time. I got a MacBook Air now an…Read mored had to spend a long time in Germany and then China (although there was one hotel that seem to accommodate any plugs--quite cool actually).
I though it was too expensive when I was buying it but it has proved to be very very useful during the past 3 or 4 years I've owned it. It works for all mac laptops and it becomes just a part of your charger so you don't have to remember to bring extra bits and pieces all around. I think this is one of the most useful things I've ever bought.(56 of 66 people found this review useful)

Very Useful

This is a great product and did what I needed. The fact that it sticks to the normal charger is useful because when going on a tr…Read moreip to only one country I replace it before I leave and do not have to worry. Also, before I got this I was using a normal radio shack adapter. The problem was, that my macbook pro used to start vibrating and shocking me. The same thing happened with my powerbook g4, this product solved it. It can also be used with the iphone wall charger.

Apple World Travel Adapter Kit
Explanation: Adapter vs Converter
Written by DA from New York
Jan 22, 2006
Some Apple power adapters are rated 110-240V which means that they will work around the world. The only limitation is the physica…Read morel connection on the adapter. This is why Apple offers the World Travel Adapter Kit. With this kit it is possible to physically plug into virtually any wall socket in the world.
There are several people reporting here that they have fried their Apple device when "using" the WTA kit. This probably means that they had a power adapter rated for 110v ONLY and plugged it into a 240v source/socket. I bet they also fried the power adapter.
So, be careful. Read the spec on the side of your power adapter. If it says 110-240v, and you have been successfully using the adapter in the U.S., then you shoud be able to use the adapter elsewhere around the world. Use the Apple World Travel Adapter Kit to make the plug physically compatible with the country you are visiting.
Hope this helps.
P.S. Only wish Apple would sell the adapter plugs individually. Don't need half of what's in the kit.(3375 of 4350 people found this review useful)

This Apple product is an adapter, and only offers the specific prong configuration that allows you to insert into a foreign electrical outlet. However it will not convert the voltage, which why you will need to to get yourself a convertor as well.

Though this product is nice, its completely unesscary unless you want to waste your money on a name brand. You can get an internat…Read moreional adaptor in any electronic store for the same price that works with your cell phone, iPods, hair dryer, and anything else tht needs electricity. Please, they're just trying to rip you off again when the original charger should have come with the iPod any way!
