Kensington Travel Plug Adapter with USB Charger
Do not buy any Kensington products
Written by KC from Lowell
Oct 14, 2009
I bought Kensington Travel Plug a few years ago (the one without USB charger), used it for a couple of times oversea and it's now broken. In the same year, I also bought Kensington 70W Universal AC/DC power adapter, used it only once oversea and when I returned back home, this adapter was dead. I called Kensington followed by many emails, no one responded back. Bad customer service + bad products. Not recommended.

It's Misleading and Poorly Manufactured
Written by CC from Howell

This power adapter is clunky and poorly manufactured. It's only redeeming feature is the USB power conversion, which is hardly worth the price. You're much better off going to your local radio and electronics outlet, and buying a much better set of actual plugs for you to use. Mine broke down on the second day of use, and if you're overseas, that is not good. The pins don't lock into place easily. You still need a voltage converter to step down from 220 to 110, so you might as well get a sturdy plug for a much cheaper price!

Worthless on my trip

Perhaps it was a fuse--I don't know, but we never got this charger to work in South America so I ended up lugging it all the way home with the thought of returning it to Apple when I got back. But, somewhere along the way, I lost a piece and so I couldn't even return it! I would not buy another one of these.

Kensington Travel Plug Adapter with USB Charger
Blows internal fuse too often
Written by KC from Vancouver

I bought two of these to use in Europe, kept frying fuse. Thank goodness they have extra one under top lid. Wasn't using anywhere with bad power surges and just with laptop. Happened in 4 different 4star hotels during trip so I don't believe you want to depend on these things. Also the unit is quite heavy and without a ground plug it doesn't hang well from European wall outlets. Have to hold in place with hand to keep contacts charging, better suited to AC outlets on the ground if there are any. Overall, not recommended, good idea, but poorly executed.

What a piece...

I bought this adapter for my trip to Italy. It worked for the first 5 days, then it just stopped. Now I'm forced to go find another one just so my computer will work. What a load.

Terrible
Written by SH from Annapolis

Bought it to use in the Czech Republic. Did not fit properly into their electrical outlets - charging was sporadic. You had to jiggle the adapter to get it connect and even then it didn't provide good charging. Ended up buying one there for about one tenth the cost of the Kensington Charger and the Czech one worked great.
