OREI American USA To European plug adapter – Type E/F schuko plug adapter - Use in Germany, France, & more - CE Certified – For Mobile, Laptop & Camera Chargers - 12 Pack

I bought these to use at my summer home in Germany. Pros: Fit security in EU-style grounded (Schuko) outlets, compared to the small two-prong adapters that tend to wobble, especially in older outlets. They work for both non-grounded items like phone chargers and electric toothbrushes and grounded items like laptops chargers. Compact size compared to other similar adapters. Cons: The compact sized can make it difficult to remove from the the outlet because there's nothing to grab onto to pull them out.

Worked perfectly throughout Europe. I had also bought a set on non-grounded adapters which were great. I found I really didn’t need the grounded plugs but both worked great.

Used these in Spain. Perfect.

Beware. This adapter will allow you to use polarized plugs in reverse. This means that this adapter will not prevent the wider neutral blade from being inserted into the hot slot of the receptacle. This may not matter because the receptacles where these plugs go are non-polarized.

I travel to Europe often for work and while most of my gadgets are 110-240V capable, they all have the US 2- or 3-prong outlet. I purchased these adapters, so I could throw one in my suitcase, another in my carry-on and a few spares in other locations. They work great! First, the thing you have to look for is whether the adapter has a lip or not. These are flat-backed, which means that any type of plug, including power bricks, which are normally large, will fit snugly into this adapter. There is nothing more annoying than trying an adapter only to realize that while your laptop plug will fit, your phone power brick won't because a lip is preventing it from firmly connecting. Second, these adapters are grounded (the little silver side parts), which means that your gear will be grounded in a properly grounded foreign wall plug. Nothing says trouble faster than a piece of gear that gets an electrical short because you are traveling somewhere with power spikes. Finally, the actual 220V prongs are well made. I've purchased so many of these during my travels, until finding these, that would simply "snap" off after some use, leaving you with a single prong (useless) or worse, a prong inside the wall outlet (dangerous), which means you now can't use the wall outlet and should report it to prevent damage to the building. These will last and have thus far! One of my favorite things is to buy/use a European surge protector strip (don't try using an American - or 110V - strip in Europe with the adapter, you could end up frying the surge portion if not careful) and then fill all the holes with these adapters, allowing me to use my US/110V items, which are also 240V compatible. REMEMBER: look at your item's power supply before plugging in - make sure it says Input: 110-240V. If it doesn't, don't plug it in to a 220-240V outlet, unless you like seeing smoke rising from your now dead electronic. Overall, I like these adapters and have found no issues with them thus far. Obviously if you travel to zones with other plug requirements (UK, Asia, etc), then you will need a universal adapter or numerous plugs for each country. But if you only travel to Europe, you should be okay with these. While the picture is for 12 black adapters, I ended up getting 12 white ones, which wasn't an issue - but worth mentioning, as I would hate for you to order and be surprised when something else arrived. One last point (honest) - check to be sure the country you are traveling to uses the same type of plug or compatible plug wall sockets. This is a Type-F plug, which means it is grounded and standard width for Europe. It will fit a Type-C outlet as well, but not a Type-L, which is narrower. I use the following website for assistance: [...] (or if deleted by Amazon, Google "Electricity Around the World").

Came in handy on cruise. Very useful

As a frequent traveller to Europe, specifically Germany, I am really pleased to finally have a product that I do not need to worry about. A while back I bought a travel-kit of the smaller skinnier 2-pole adapters, which did their job, albeit not quite so reliably. They would often be very loose and would NOT stick in the Shuko receptacle if any weight was placed on one in a wall outlet. For example, when used with a charger, they would hang precariously from the outlet. I countered this by placing the corner or a table, chair, suitcase or box against the unit to keep it in place. Mind you, doing so, I needed to be around to monitor my chargers, in case something might perchance go wrong (luckily it never did). Using an A/C inverter, stepping down from 230v to 120v, the large heavy transformers would not reliably stay in using the skinny adapters Adapter Plug - Europe - Universal Polarized Wide Input Round Pins - Heavy Duty 16 Amp Rating . Upon testing these Shuko-adapters, I was VERY pleased to note that they actually hold onto the North American plug very securely. I've tested them using the grounded and non-grounded (but polarized) plug. They all take a little effort to pull apart, which is what you'd want in such an item. I even turned the polarized 2-prong plug upside down and it went in with no problem. This shouldn't be an issue with today's technology, and if you have anything that requires correct polarity, you're most likely not going to be able to use it in Europe without a transformer anyways. The configuration of this Shuko-adapter allows you to plug the unit into a 230v 50Hz Shuko-recepticle. But it can receive the following North American plug configuration (I have approximated the shape of the prongs below, line=left, period=ground, load=neutral=right): |.| 15Amp, Approx 120volt 60Herz -.| 20A, Approx 120v 60Hz -.- 15A, Approx 230v 60Hz |.- 20A, Approx 230v 60Hz The construction quality is quite good. I gave it a little "drop-test" from 2 feet onto hard floor surface, and it survived with no problems. The plastic is well made to survive normal use and my 2-foot drop-test was within normal parameters. Overall, I am extremely pleased and would highly recommend these to anyone. I presume from time to time someone will get a bad one, but hopefully they will know to contact Amazon right away and get an exchange to get a good one. That's to be expected in these new days of "Lack of QC". However, the entire set I received was perfect, and to add to my pleasure, I received this package within a week. Nice service indeed from PAUL ZENG UNIVERSAL SUPPLIES LLC.

These adapters are a little more substantial than ones I've used previously. I carried them on a trip/cruise to Noway and they worked very well. I'm very glad I purchased them.

This was the prefect fit for our needs. We were transitioning from NEMA 5-15P to Sucko and this was the prefect fit for our needs.

Works great, super sturdy, fits perfectly into recessed European Sockets. Best deal out there. Really happy with this purchase.

Funciona perfecto. Encaja bien los socket europeos. El mejor que he usado hasta ahora

Smaller than I tough. It does the job and feel solid for 5$ each. It does not convert from 220 to 120 but most devices can take it.

Funcionan muy bien. Compre otros en España y esos cuasaron problemas en los aparatos, en varios casos no cargaban bien, estos si cargan bien. Estos adaptadores son muy recomendables.
