What a piece of garbage. I bought this so I could charge my laptop and cell phone while traveling in Uganda for 2 months. I would have checked it out before I left, but where was I going to find a Ugandan style outlet to plug it into? Once overseas, with no backup plan in place, I plug it into the wall socket and a short "pop" and puff of smoke later it was gone. Now I'm stranded overseas with no power options for the next month and a half (except for the occasional rouge traveler I encounter who lends me their working converter). The worst part is, I'm not sure if I'll be home in time to return it.

I was traveling to Australia and needed to find an adapter that would work there. Many of the adapters that I found worked only for areas of Europe. This adapter worked great in Australia and will work in other places I travel as well. If you travel around the globe I suggest throwing one of these into you suitcase, it's a nice addition to my normal supplies that I take with me.

Have not completely tested this yet. But be aware it will not charge an iphone from the USB port. This is because an Iphone requires 2V on both data lines to make the phone charge as well as the 5V and ground that it provides. (Thats really an Apple problem not Bestek, Apple likes to make it hard for others to make Iphone accessories). Not sure that the USB port will charge a Kindle but it looks as though it does but you get no indication that the Kindle is charging other than the battery level indicator rises. Again I am assuming that the Kindle requires some sort of voltage on the data lines probably different to the Iphone just to make things hard.

half the time the plugs didn't fit in outlets and if they did it still didn't work. It would also be nice if the list of countries it is suppose to work in were in the description. After buying it I saw that it wouldn't work in Chile but I kept it because I was also going to Argentina and it was suppose to work there. It didn't work in Argentina either.
