    Excellent product

    • Written by from Upton

    i purchased this set in 2009 for a trip to Europe. It worked perfectly and easily at keeping my MacBook charged in England. It was easy to connect my iPod to the MacBook to keep it charged, too. Then in 2010, I found myself in England and in the Netherlands - I never expected to need a different adapter, but when I needed it, it was there. A very good thing! :)

    It was really good to know that when I used the adapter set, I didn't need to worry about whether or not it would work or that it might damage my computer. It took the worry out of plugging in my Apple stuff!

    My husband is lucky enough to need it in July on his trip to France - you just never know when you'll need that adapter piece that you thought was just extra. :)

    Fabulous!

    • Written by from ROCHESTER

    So far I've been in Europe, the UK, Russia, the UAE, and India with the adapter kit. It is fantastic.

    Central Europe, Thin vs. Thick Round Pins

    • Written by from Grantham

    In Switzerland... only the thin-round-pin adapter works. The thick-round-pin adapter does NOT work here, contrary to suggestions in other postings on this site.

    If traveling to Europe, make sure you bring the adapter with two thin round pins.

    Oh, the kit itself is great.

    Very well made, but consider alternatives

    • Written by from Richmond

    This is a very good product. However, it only works for Apple products for which it is designed and if you use it for the laptop adapter, you give up the power cord between the power adapter and the wall...so you need to be closer to the outlet. Consider purchasing a simple plug adapter kit like the one Targus sells. The US plug just plugs into one end of each adapter and then you can plug it into the wall in each country. I had both with me and found the Targus adapter set worked for most US plugs on world power adapters.

    Nearly perfect, need to buy separately too.

    • Written by from Edmonton

    This is an excellent product that I find very useful when I travel. Although, I find it necessary to buy some of the individual adapters, and I can not find them anywhere. Between my wife and myself we have several Apple products that need to be charged simultaneously. We frequent certain countries so I don't want to buy several of the whole kits, just some particular adapters.

    Perfect.

    • Written by from Chadds Ford

    I used this set with my Macbook Pro charger this summer when I was traveling around Europe. Went to 7 different countries and was never without the proper adapter.

    Definitely worth the $40 to be covered for the entire trip.

    Adapter does not properly ground in german outlets! Shock hazard!

    • Written by from Atlanta

    I bought this before moving from USA to DE. When I arrived I was *literally* shocked to find that it was not properly grounded. Touching anywhere on my MacBook Pro would cause my fingertips to vibrate with electric shocks. I have fortunately not been harmed, and it seems to charge the laptop battery, but this product (atleast the european adapter) is a serious shock hazard. I want my money back!

    Did everything was meant to do

    • Written by from Moreno Valley

    Bought this the day before my trip to Europe and was set. I took 3 of the adapters that I needed for my trip and they worked perfectly. Also the additional charging unit was a plus for me. Nothing negative to say about the product.

    Problem

    • Written by from Brooklyn

    I don't know what happened. When I first got the product and tried it, it worked perfectly! But now, it's not working. Every time i tried, a message on my ipod touch would show up saying that the charger is not working.

    Not worth

    • Written by from West Orange

    I bought this World Travel Adapter Kit. When I went to India It worked for 2 days after that it didn't work. When I came back to US I tried it didn't work. I feel not worth for the price. "When the charger fails what is the use of the other 6 components"???????

    Good, Good.

    • Written by from Skaneateles

    Great idea to grab one of these if you plan on going overseas - worked perfectly for me. The only issue is the 'bulk' of the full set, which can make it a bit inconvenient considering its intended purpose. Luckily, I knew where I was headed so I just took the few components I knew I would need. You would think that this set would come with a travel case, yet curiously, it does not.

    As an Apple product, you don’t need to worry about sketchy components and/or manufacturing as much as you might get with similar products, 'elsewhere'. Comes with everything you need for adapting Macbook, iPod & iPhone to charge in local outlets (even comes with spare sync cable) - which makes it a great value in my book. Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it anyway...Works great, good buy.

    Excellent accessory for Mac enthusiast

    • Written by from Silver Spring

    I picked this up for my iPhone for a trip to France/Ireland and it really worked out great. After killing my iPhone battery on the plane to France, I used the French plug adapter in the airport and was good as new. I now also have a MBP and this kit will also work with the MagSafe adapters as well and this is super bonus for me. Only thing I'd like to see is possibly, some sort of carrying case for this thing. Had to carry around a whole bunch plugs in my bag last time so something small, simple would great.

    Just needs a lightning adapter, too...

    • Written by from San Diego

    I picked up the adapter kit for travel from the United States to Germany / United Kingdom. It various adapters worked exactly as expected for my variety of Mac and iDevices.

    It would have been nice if it included a lightning to 30 pin adapter to accomdate the latest iDevices.

    Much better deal than paying $29 for the Apple USB Power Adapter

    • Written by from Fairfax

    Works like a charm and great value. When I am not travelling, I am using it as a secondary charger in the living room. If you are considering the $29 Apple USB Power Adapter, I would definitely pay an extra $10 to get the Travel Kit instead.
