I bought two of these adapters for a job in Korea. (Yes, of course I mean South Korea, I'm not a UN nuclear inspector or anything.) The problem I've run into is that the prongs labeled "Europe" that work with Korean outlets are too small--the prongs appear to be 4mm prongs and most of the outlets here seem to be 5mm plugs. They might work if they extended further into the outlet but the bulky housing doesn't allow the adapter to go all the way into the receptacle. I've managed to get these adapters to work with an extension cord that has shallower receptacles and a few similar plugs, but with most plugs this adapter doesn't make a solid connection and falls out of the wall. I may end up using these adapters when I visit other countries, and one did come in handy when I had to sandwich it with another Korean plug adapter and a step-down converter with short 4mm plugs.
Since every other reviewer has mentioned this, I suppose I'd better as well... This is not a voltage converter. Be sure to check that your appliance can handle the local voltage and Hz frequency before you plug anything in. (As examples, North American electricity is 120V/60Hz and Korean power is 240V/60Hz, so any device designed to only work on 120V will fry like a chicken wing when you plug it in.)
