Interphone F5 Stereo Bluetooth Motorcycle Headset with 6-Way Intercom Conference and FM (Twin Pack)
- Connect your cell phone via Bluetooth
- Stereo music with A2DP profile and AVRCP control; built in FM radio with 8 station memory
- Wired, with devices equipped with a 3.5 mm jack
- IP67 waterproof (immersion up to 1 m)
- TTS (text to speech) - spoken status announcements
After using the F5 for a few days I am very disappointed with the battery life. Streaming music or using a cell phone with the F5 I am getting less than 1 hour of use time before the battery dies. A lot shorter than the advertised 11 to 12 hour use time the unit is suppose to provide. I dont know if I have a unit with a bad battery or if this is the average use time. I am waiting for a response from Interphone. Hopefully it is a battery issue and not normal performance of the F5.
The battery was bad in one of the units. Interphone replaced the unit within a week and it is working as advertised. I was very pleased with customer service at Interphone.I bought three of these for my friends and one for myself. Going on group rides are so much better now with the F5, instead of having to guess what your ride buddy is trying to say. Daily commutes are better as well with FM radio and music streaming from a Bluetooth device.
Intercom works well. The only issue I have found was reconnecting to streaming music on an Android phone after exiting intercom mode. This issue was resolved after updating to the latest firmware on the F5.
Usage with iPhone:
I am able to make calls, receive calls with spoken caller ID, have text messages read to me (iPhone 4S/5), send text messages (iPhone 4S/5), control music play back, most anything with Siri, and now with iOS6 turn by turn directions.
Tip on how to use Siri (iPhone 4S and 5):
While in phone mode select the down button once and about 2 seconds later you will hear Siri's tone. Say anything you would with Siri and do not press any buttons, Siri will know when you have stopped speaking and process your request.
Defiantly can tell this is a quality product just by holding it. I have ridden through some heavy rain and did not experience any issues. The F5 is covered with a one piece of rubber that makes it water proof.
At the beginning I had issues using the F5 because my cold weather gloves were too thick, and I unable to feel buttons. I was pressing the wrong buttons and getting distracted from the road. I would recommend for the first week or two to use summer gloves until you get familiar with the button locations.
Battery life is great on the F5 comes. I leave the wall charger at home and travel with a USB cable (included) which can be used for charging.Amazon has done it. Cyclebots is now selling the Interphone F5 via Amazon.
The F5 sets the bar for motorcycle intercoms. It is easy to use. The stereo output
is loud and clear. The Bluetooth 3.0 is amazing. The big bang for the buck is multiple motorcycle hook up on intercom. It comes with everything you will need and then some. Truely a first class unit.
If you liked the talking GPS ( Dora the ding-bat)then you'll love this talking Interphone (Sweet Cheeks).I had purchased the Interphone F4 last year. After much research, I thought it was the right option. The units worked great the installation was easy. However, the connector is extremely delicate. It is very difficult to get the plug aligned to connect the mic/speaker cable and the charger cable. You have to remove the mic/speaker cable in order to plug in the charger cable. Bad design! Recently I experienced a situation where the mic/speaker cable would not make a good connection. Therefore the unit would not work properly or at all. I contacted the place where I purchased the unit. I was advised to contact the distributor. They advised me they were no longer the distributor and to contact the new distributor. Meanwhile, the F4 had been replaced by the F5 model. The new distributor did not have an F4 replacement. They only handled the new F5. After much correspondence with the seller and the new distributor, I finally received a replacement F4 module. Then the other module died as well from the same cause. So, rather than fight it any longer I bought the SENA SMH 10.
The Interphone worked well when it worked. But, if you get into a warranty issue, you may have a difficult time of it. I understand the connector on the F5 is improved. Not worth $500 to find out. The SENA is about $150 to $200 less money and works great.

RoadPro RP-203EC 12V 12' Extension Cord with Cigarette Lighter Plug
- Plugs directly into cigarette lighter socket
- Extends your 12-volt power source
- 12 foot heavy-duty cord
- One male plug to one female socket
My cable was marked 0.75MM (squared). A web search showed this to be somewhere in between 20 and 22 AWG.
The wire size should be given in the Amazon listing. This cable would probably be fine to charge an iPhone or iPod, but I would not use it with any tools, larger lights, air compressors, etc. (I could find no fuse.)
The AMP rating is not on the wire, nor on the packaging, so do your own careful research before using.
Other than the low current carrying capacity the quality of construction looks good (made in Taiwan not China).

I bought this so I could charge my cordless tool batteries in the cargo area of my van, and keep the clutter out of the cab. It did not work out so good, the wire is too thin to use on a battery charger that only draws 5 amps DC. The batteries would not correctly charge due to a low voltage condition the thin wiring caused. So I am not sure what kind of accessory this thing is good for?Read Best Reviews of RoadPro RP-203EC 12V 12' Extension Cord with Cigarette Lighter Plug Here
I had one of these that got daily use for about a year before the socket portion cracked and I had to replace it. Even so, I'd definitely say that I got my money's worth and it worked fine up until that point. I bought it again as a replacement. The cord is pretty long, so you if don't really need 12 feet, you might want to use to twist ties to keep a portion of it wrapped up.Want RoadPro RP-203EC 12V 12' Extension Cord with Cigarette Lighter Plug Discount?
I found the product to be poorly made a piece of junk.Cable not secured to plastic barrels
Poorly soldered (cold solder joint)
Poorly designed/cheap parts
This product was useless to me, I finally went to an autoparts store, picked up better quality male and female ends, a hardware store for the cable and made my own.

The VERY first time I used it the solder broke when I pulled it out of the cigarette lighter. I gave it 3 stars just because of that. They did not have anything to hold the wire in place with the male plug except for the 2 very small amounts of solder used to connect the wire to the male plug. I got out my soldering iron and re-soldered it back in place, put it all back together and wrapped the whole thing in electrical tape. So far this seems to be working. If it snaps again I'll buy a better male plug. My advice would be to wrap the plug with electrical tape and down a couple of inches on the wire to hold the thing together before you use it the first time. Come on RoadPro, there are better plugs out there than that POS. Other than that it worked perfectly with my Coleman air pump I use for my inflatible raft and bed.
Power Bright VC1000W Voltage Transformer 1000 Watt Step Up/Down 110 Volt - 220 Volt
I am deployed in Iraq right now, and this product was given to me. I thought I would share that it is working wonderfully. I have plugged an array of 110v things into it and they work great. It is heavy, well built, and does its job. There is no noise to it whatsoever, except when you turn it on, but that's normal to ALL step converters. If you are looking for a good converter, consider this product.
with voltage 220v so after I ordered him this transformer who convert
110v to 220v now he's happy because the power transformer is up and down and down to up
that mean can make work anything with some switches. good product

I got this to use with some small appliances while I'm studying in Europe. At first this thing was completely silent. After a couple of weeks however, it started to make some noise. If I leave it on too long, or absentmindedly use it as a footrest it gets really REALLY loud.Also, a helpful warning for anyone using this, there are two outlets on the transformer, one for 120v and the other for 220v. Always make sure you're plugging your appliances into the right one. I did this and almost lost my coffeemaker.I bought this Transformer almost 4 years ago. It was a piece of junk. I plugged it in and it wouldn't work. I called the company and sent it back to them (paid shipping myself). They later returned it back to me telling me they are sending a new one but they were clearly lieing as I could see that it was the exact same one (from the way I had packed). TERRIBLE customer service. They were very rude in subsequent calls. I gave up after that as I dint want to keep throwing money in shipping back and forth.
I have been very dissappointed with Amazon.

My Rotel HI-FIs arrived US this month and I can power them up but they are not working as expected.I checked manual and find that all my 220V Rotels need manual modification to suit the 110V input.
I checked with B&W and they confirmed that I can use the 220V transformer for my Rotels, then I bought
this 1000W Power Transformer. Today they arrived in good condition and it is of the right size on my table

But the best thing is the silence. When I power it on I hear no noise at all !
It worked as expected and silently and really deserve the 5 star!

Very disappointed in this product. The first time I used it the plastic hinge on the lid became distorted. The lid is difficult to open.The instructions was a single page and though written in English, were not clear. It took me a while to figure out how to make it cool or warm. It stopped cooling after one use and I had it plugged in correctly.
The provided strap was unattached. No Instructions were included on how to attach the strap. Also, the strap is a cheaper version of what is displayed on the packaging.
I'll go back to my old ice cooler.

Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (Black, Retail Packaging)
I got the Freeway along with my iPhone 4S. It connected easily, and reconnects every time I get into my car. I sit down, and by the time I turn the ignition, it's reconnected (and lets you know by saying so). It works great as a speakerphone, callers sound good and I sound good to them. The volume goes up pretty high so you can still hear fine if you have a loud car. If you press and hold the big phone button for about 2 seconds, Siri will activate if you have it on your iPhone. Siri will use the Freeway's mic and speaker to talk to you. It's great to just press the button overhead and be able to have all of Siri's functions. If you're listening to music while you activate Siri, the music will fade out, and when you're done with it, the music fades back in.Playing music is fairly mediocre through the speaker. While I didn't expect amazing sound out of the tiny package, it's hardly the amazing surround sound that Jabra advertises. Most songs are going to sound fine, but if you have anything with heavy bass, it gets pretty distorted. It's good enough to listen to music on my commute, and more than enough to listen to podcasts with.
The battery life is great, I seem to be getting the full 14 hours. Playing music counts as talk time, and when you check the battery status, the Freeway gives it to you in terms of talk time left. So if you have a full charge and drive a half hour with music, it'll tell you that you have 13 1/2 hours of talk time left. Since it shuts off soon after you get out of your car, it's not draining battery while idle.
As a side note, the unit won't shut up if you flip your visor down. I've never had it shut off on me while I had the visor flipped down facing both the windshield and the side window. You just have to be careful not to mash buttons when you're gripping the visor.
Overall it's good as a speakerphone, extension of Siri, and voice-only audio such as podcasts. Music could sound better, but I understand there's only so much you can get out of a tiny speaker. I haven't used any other Bluetooth speakerphones to compare this to, but I'm pretty happy with it.
I'm not one to take my time to write reviews, but after purchasing three of these speakerphones I thought maybe it would be helpful to tell you why this is the best speakerphone I have ever used.
We live in California and, by law, have to have our Cell Phones connected by Bluetooth if we use them in the car. I have probably used 4-5 different brands and configurations in the past 5 years all with mixed results, until I came across the Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone. I really dislike using in-ear Bluetooth devices (for many reasons, but mainly because they interfere with hearing and make you look like a . . . . ). Speakerphones I have used in the past (including the less expensive Jabra products) seemed to never clearly pick-up my voice and transmit it to the caller. When I purchased my first Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (after reading a glowing CNET Review) I started using it as soon as I charged it for a couple of hours. It is the easiest, most user friendly product I have bought in a long time.
Getting up and running requires:
1. Charge unit (USB)
2. Turn on Cell Phone and put in pairing mode
3. Turn on Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone it will find the phone and announce "Connected"
4. That's it, your done.
Now to use it you only have to do one thing and remember 2 words:
1. Attach the Speakerphone to your visor and turn it on.
2. Remember 2 words when it announces by name an incoming call. a) Answer (connects you to an incoming call) or b) Cancel (phone goes straight to you voice answer message).
It really is that easy. There is a lot more that the Speakerphone will do, and there is a one year subscription to a second party company that keeps all your contacts + more so you can call one number and transfer to anyone in your contacts, send text, etc. But you really don't need to know or use any of that.
Oh, I forgot, the main reason I like the Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone is that my clients have no clue that I am even on a Bluetooth device when I talk to them in the car. No extraneous noise, no wind noise, just a clear voice. That, plus the ease of use is why I keep buying more of these and giving them to my wife, children, etc.
Did I mention that once you turn the Jabra Freeway on you don't have to touch/recharge it for a month or more (my experience, moderate use). It turns itself on when I get in the car, and turns itself off when I exit (motion detector).
Pros: All of the above. Plus, iTune music sounds pretty good through the 3 speakers and podcasts are great (you can also transmit the music/podcast to you FM radio) the Speakerphone "knows" to to stop the music/podcast if a call comes in.
Cons: It takes a couple of minutes for the speakerphone to turn-off automatically when you you leave the car. For a short time, if you are fairly close to the car (in you home or office) the unit still picks-up calls. This has happened to me only once, and my iPhone asks if I want to not use the Bluetooth on the screen, so it really is a minor annoyance.
Buy Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (Black, Retail Packaging) Now
The Jabra Freeway is very sleek and comes with a free and optional one-year subscription to VoiceAssist.Setting the unit up was easy.
1. Before I could use the Jabra Freeway, I charged it for two hours using the supplied USB cable with car charger.
2. Next I made sure the cell phone was Bluetooth-enabled and turned on the Jabra unit.
3. It immediately went into pairing mode. As it is pairing with the phone device, the prompts on the phone needed to be followed and the supplied security code had to be entered (not everyone will have to enter a security code; it depends on the phone)
4. After this I began making and answering calls using voice commands, checking the battery power of the unit, etc. To make a call, I had to press the Voice button to wake up the unit and say "phone commands." If I was unsure of how to speak to the unit I would say "What can I say?" and it would give me options.
What I found very frustrating was:
1. Once I was done with a call, ending the call is not hands free. I couldn't say "hang-up, or cancel, or end" because that doesn't work. Instead I had to press the "answer end button" (which is the "phone icon" on the Jabra device) or end the call via the phone end button.
2. I also disliked having to press the Voice button every time I wanted to make a call because this meant it was not totally hands free. The only hands free part is if someone is calling you, the unit then automatically awakes and you can tell it to "answer" or "ignore" the incoming call.
3. Many times I asked the unit to make a call. Twice it brought up the EZ tip calculator, once it brought up the one-minute beep "application," and another time it brought up some other application on the phone that I didn't ask for. Another time I tried to call someone and instead it brought up the address book and rambled off both the mobile and work number without giving me the option to dial either one.
What I really loved was the optional VoiceAssist package even though I had difficulty getting this set up because the code to redeem the free one-year subscription was hidden underneath a sticker either Amazon or the manufacturer put on the box. However, VoiceAssist has the best live customer service around. In fact we called each other almost five times to get this situation resolved in a few hours. Hopefully, new purchasers won't have this experience where the offer code is hidden between stickers and impossible to read even after being held up to the light.
Below are the steps I took to get VoiceAssist to work:
1. I had to first redeem the free offer code on the box by going to [....].
2. Once signed in online to [....], I imported all my Gmail contacts into the VoiceAssist application and also set up a connection to my review_maven twitter account ([....]).
3. Once registered and after I cleaned up the Gmail import which had about an 85% accuracy rate, I then needed to program the number of 949-257-0923 under the name of VoiceAssist into the Bluetooth phone.
4. After this I had a lot of fun:
I used the Jabra unit to call VoiceAssist.
Once connected I used another set of VoiceAssist commands to "call" people in my contact list (they had to have a phone # in the Gmail contact listed that was imported), to "post to Twitter," to "read my e-mail" on Gmail--which it read very well (except it said it couldn't read the pictures), and to send an email, which it sent okay though some of my message was garbled. However, since an MP3 was attached to the email, the person receiving it could play that to get the full message.
The two posts to my Twitter account were okay, buy it got VoiceAssist wrong and typed voices instead and it typed Jabra as Java. You can look on the review_maven account to see the posts for May 28. 2011.
I didn't have the phone functionality to try the FM Transmitter or play music features of the Jabra device.
Below are some of the key features that I liked and some things I disliked:
PROS:
1. The Jabra unit is pretty easy to set up
2. The Jabra Freeway has a long battery life (about 14 to 17 hours)
3. You can pair two Bluetooth phones to the device with the last phone paired being the primary one
4. Jabra Freeway comes with a car charger for charging in your vehicle or with a 12Volt Battery Pack; the USB cable that is used to plug in the car adapter can be used without the adapter for charging with your PC
5. A free one-year subscription to VoiceAssist is supplied with purchase
6. Voice Assist understands commands better than the Jabra unit itself
7. I could check and send email and post to Twitter with VoiceAssist (Posting to Facebook is also possible.)
8. VoiceAssist provides SUPERB customer service.
CONS:
1. VoiceAssist setup was difficult and the instructions that came with the device did not tell you to program in the telephone number to VoiceAssist. Instead the Jabra instructions tell you to call VoiceAssist making you assume it's already pre-programed in the device.
2. Managing your contacts online in the VoiceAssist web site is somewhat cumbersome as the tool is in its infancy. For instance, every time I edited one of my 100+ contacts it kept going back to the first one after I saved the edit--then I had to scroll through the entire list again to go back to where I wanted to in the contact list.
3. Answer/End button is not intuitive on the Jabra unit (it's the phone icon on the Jabra Freeway); although the instructions do tell you where it's located.
4. The Jabra Freeway did not always understand my voice commands Voice Assist understood my commands much better but that still was not perfect)
5. Jabra is from the UK and only an automated help line is provided along with a website. Other than this you can send an email and wait for a response--no live support here
In summary, although Jabra will work with any Bluetooth phone, I did not feel I could get it to work exceptionally well with the Verizon LG phone I tried it with. I cannot be sure whether it was because of my or my boyfriend's voices (as we both tried it), the phone, or just the functionality of the device. Despite this, the Jabra Freeway is a very sleek unit and I felt that it responded better the more familiar I got with the device. In addition, the other reviewers are raving about the Freeway. Although VoiceAssist was not perfect, I absolutely loved that optional add-on.
Updated May 30, 2011 I sent an email to Jabra with two simple questions to see how responsive their email support was and I can tell you it's great. I sent it over the weekend and got a response this morning. The only thing that wasn't great was that one of my simple questions was answered wrong. I had asked where the answer/end button was and according to the manual it is the phone icon on the Jabra device; however the reponse I got was to "Slide the On/Off power switch to turn the speakerphone on or off" so the question was either misunderstood or the tech did not know the answer. I think it's the former.
Updated November 7, 2011 I recommended this to a former colleague and this is what he said about the device verbatim. "Regarding the Jabra device, it has worked very well. I will admit, I have not used any of the advanced features much (other than initially playing with them) as honestly I have not needed them. It has strictly been used as a straight bluetooth device and for that purpose it has worked extremely well. The speaker quality is above and beyond competing devices and the functionality (recognizing bluetooth connections regularly, turning off when it doesn't detect a device, etc) are features that are useful and allow it to stick out from the pack of competing devices. Overall, it has proven useful when I needed it."

I don't give 5 stars that often, but I love this thing.
The calls are very clear as advertised and they can hear me fine as well. It's fantastic being able to finally answer calls hands free in the car; no having to have an earpiece or anything.
I love that you can connect two Bluetooth devices at once; I don't have a smartphone, but I can connect my basic cellphone with Bluetooth to this device, as well as my iPod Touch to send music to it!
The size makes it great to take it with you anywhere and use it as a speakerphone/speakers at home.
It looks great on the sun visor of the car, as well on a desk.
There is also a built-in FM transmitter. Personally, the transmitter doesn't seem that much of an advancement to send a clear strong signal than other FM transmitters that I've owned (still getting a static or fuzzy sound on a higher volume), but still, it is definitely a nice bonus to have!
The device is also firmware upgradeable if there are any improvements in the future.
It uses a Micro USB to charge.
If you ever feel like using your cellphone in the car, when you think about the safety and traffic ticket costs, this product is a no brainer worthy investment. The versatility of this product being suitable for home use just makes it even better. Fantastic design.

Want Jabra FREEWAY Bluetooth Speakerphone (Black, Retail Packaging) Discount?
Jabra I stand up and give you a standing ovation for the Jabra Freeway Speakerphone. I previously was using the Jabra CRUISER2 Bluetooth In-Car Speakerphone but sadly had to give it up to my dear husband who refused to use a headset. I did not mind because this way I was able to acquire the newer model. The Jabra Freeway is the newest model since the Cruiser 2. It is a tad bit larger, but offers a few more features such as automatic turn on and off with the built-in motion sensor, and acoustically optimized HD quality microphones and surround sound speakers. You pretty much give all the commands by your voice. For example when you call comes in, you can just say "answer" or "ignore". If you want to make a call, just hit the "Voice" button once and say "phone commands", then say "call mobile". It is that easy. That is one big difference between the Cruiser 2 and the Freeway. With the Cruiser 2 you had to hold and count the seconds on the action button to make it do certain commands such as last redial or voice dial. With the Freeway everything is done with the touch of one button and I don't have to hold it for 1, 2 or 3 seconds!I got so excited about talking about the actual usage of the speakerphone that I almost forgot to mention the setup. I am using it with the Verizon iPhone 4G and setup with so simple it took less than one minute. The automated programmed voice is very clear to hear and understand. This is the first time I have had to actually turn the volume down on a speakerphone because it was too loud! The sound is crystal clear. I really do not know how anyone can give this item a bad review unless it does not work with their particular brand of phone. in regards to the FM transmitter functions, it works as well as other types of transmitters I have tried. There is NO wireless FM transmitter out there that is not going to be static free. Think about, the only way is be able to be static free is to be directly plugged into your radio and not be "wirelessly". This speakerphone will be primarily used for phone calls and not for my the FM transmitter. I can hear perfectly loud and clear by the units speakers and have no need to be using it to play my iTunes music through it. the speakers alone will be sufficient for me to hear my calls loud and clearly.
Now lets get to the Voice Assist. Forget about it. Not worth it. I did sign up for it since it is a free trial offer for one-year but I don't see any use for it. I asked myself do I really need to urgently send someone a text message or post a status on Facebook? Is it that important that I can't wait till I am out of the car and on my computer, iPad or iPhone. I can wait I am not that important to be posting about my life's every moment for all to know. Also, what most might not realize is that you have to call a landline phone number that uses airtime off your cellular plan in order to use the Voice Assist. Signing up was not as much of a hassle as some made it sound. Just make sure to read the instructions on the Voice Assist website and you should have no problems. You have to download the firmware upload and apply it, THEN enter your UPC code after the firmware update is applied. This is for units purchased from Amazon ONLY.
YOU WILL LOVE THIS SPEAKERPHONE. I am curious to see what is next for Jabra since I can not imagine how something so perfect could be improved. Well now that I think about it, maybe they will come up with "Park Assist" on their next units. :-)
EDIT: I almost forgot to add one more thing. This comes with a really nice long micro USB cord. Not one of those "bungee" ones either. It is straight and long enough to fit plugged into a 12V that is inside my center console glovebox while charging the speakerphone still clipped to my sunvisor (while parked of course).

- Socket and USB can be used simultaneously, built-in safety fuse to protect from electric shock
- Housing Material:Best Fire retardant ABS-V0, Metal Material:Full copper with nickel Plating

Bolse universal travel adapter is plug adapter. It does no voltage conversion. This plug adapter is different from other international plugs adapters I have in two ways:
(1) It is all-in-one plug not multiple small plugs like my other adapter sets. This is good because pieces are not going to get lost and always be there when you need them. The "price" for being all-in-one plug that this unit is bigger than any one of the individual country adapter. The Bolse adapter's size is 2 3/8" x 1 3/4" x 2 1/4" with all prongs retracted. Its weight is 3.1 oz.
(2) In addition to the AC outlet it also has an USB port built into the unit.
Having a USB port is extremely handy for recharging mobile devices.
I tested the USB port with Tested with Nexus 7 Tab, Galaxy Nexus Phone, Galaxy 7.7 Tab using Battery App by Elvison to determine how each device recognized the charging source. 'AC' status means the charging is at full charging rate. 'USB' status indicates charging at a lower charging rate. 'Discharging' status means that the charging rate is below the power that the device is consuming so it slows down the discharge rate but does not re-charge.
The results of my test is that the plug worked well with Nexus Android devices, but did not work with Samsung Galaxy Tab.
✔ Nexus 7 Tab........................... charging at AC rate
✔ Galaxy Nexus Phone............... charging at AC rate
✔ Samsung Galaxy 7.7 Tab......... discharging
OPERATION:
--------------
The plug operated very smoothly and I am attaching a video which demonstrates how the plug is switched between different configurations.
✔ For USA plug
Slightly press the button and slide to the right for USA/AUST plug completely as shown. Make sure the contact blades are turned to the parallel position.
✔ For Australia/New Zealand plug
Slightly press the button and slide to the right for USA/AUST plug completely as shown. Make sure the contact blades are Rotated to "\ /"position.
✔ For United Kingdom plug
Slightly press the button and slide to the left Ir UK plug completely as shown. Pull out the insulated ground pin from the housing.
✔ For EUROPEAN plug
Make sure the button is slid back to the center then press the button for Europe plug to pop out.
When the adapter is plugged into the wall socket, the "power" indicator lights up showing that the AC power and USB are operational. This plugs maximum power is 6A. This means some appliances that require higher power (for example some hair dryers) may not work. Check your appliance label to see if it requires less than 6A.
I am also attaching a collage of two photos (that can be located by following 'customer photos' link under the main photo). The first photo demonstrate how this plug fits on the power strip. It is fairly large and covers two outlets on the standard size strip. The second photo demonstrating Galaxy 7.7 tab running the Battery app (discharging).
I was provided a sample unit for testing, evaluation and writing a review. I provided pluses and minuses of my experience with this unit, and if you have questions I have not answered I am happy to reply to comments.
Overall, this plug performed well in all tests other than charging Samsung Galaxy Tablet. This plug is very well suited to those people who travel to many different countries. They can really take advantage of one plug that works in over 150 different countries. If you only travel to one country, then one dedicated plug might work better because it is smaller and lighter.

Buy Bolse® Black Rubber Feel Universal Travel Adapter with USB Charger Now
This neat little self contained box is such a cool engineering design. Within this (somewhat large) solid box are plugs to give you electrical access to just about anywhere.I just got back from England and used this daily for charging my phone, Kindle, iPod, etc. Even though I can plug them into my mum's computer using a USB cable, they often want to try and sync with her files. Not a good thing. It worked great, never got hot, and charged quickly. Since it packs into a small block, it was easy to keep in my carry on bag for using at either airport US and UK. The perfect accessory!
So I am thrilled that not only does this have a traditional plug input, but it also has a USB (albeit only one) charging port. I also like that it does not require extra plugs or parts that you have to keep in a bag. It is self-contained.
The plugs pop out from their respective sides as you slide the selection bar for the country you want. The physical design is clever and seems like it will hold up over time. I like that other reviewers have mentioned that this will not regulate the voltage so you need to be very careful with what you plug in.

This travel adapter is outfitted with the Europlug, the two flat pronged plug with a ground pin used for much of the UK, a USB port and the regular wall plug you find here in the USA. You can also rotate the USA plug to be angled so that they fit plugs in Australia and New Zealand. They are all tucked away neatly in the little black square cube that houses them. You select which plug you want to use by pressing down on a sliding button and moving it to the corresponding countries plug. This then releases that plug for use. When you plug in the adapter to the wall and it is receiving electricity, a blue LED lights up to let you know it's working. The adapter has a been coated with a soft black matte material to make it feel like it has a rubber finish to it. Everything is neatly compartmentalized into this small cube design, making it perfect for taking with you while traveling. It feels well made and the sliding button to release the adapters works well without any issues of it getting stuck. Very nice!A sample was provided for an unbiased review.
Want Bolse® Black Rubber Feel Universal Travel Adapter with USB Charger Discount?
The Bolse Universal Travel Adapter with USB Charger is a clever, all-in-one solution for adapting to the various plugs you find in different countries when traveling.
The three different plugs included in this adapter will work in over 150 countries. A sliding switch extends or retracts the plugs for US/AUS and UK. To extend the plug for Europe the switch is moved to the middle position and depressed, the plug pops out of the bottom of the adapter.
And LED indicates when power is present once you plug the adapter in to an outlet and the adapter is fused for protection.
I like that there is also a 1A, 5VDC, USB charger on the back side of the adapter.
The adapter is made from ABS plastic that is covered in a grippy, rubberized coating.
The electrical components are made of nickel plated copper.
It should be stressed that this is not a voltage converter, it is simply a plug adapter. Make sure the devices you plug into this when in another country are capable of handling the voltages you will encounter as you travel.
For your convenience, I will reiterate the power specs that can be found in the product description:
AC Power Rating:
-6A maximum
-110-240Vac
-660W max at 110V
-1380W max at 230V
It is possible to use the USB port at the same time as the main plug.

I travel often to Europe, and in the past have always had hard time finding a proper power converter to help me use my electronic devices over there. However, I've finally figured out two things: 1. All those cheap power converters that you come across really don't work. A true power converter would be too bulky and too heavy to carry around, especially on a plane. 2. Most of the modern electronic devices don't need power/voltage conversion. They work perfectly well with both the US and European voltages. So what you really need is a plug adapter.This Bolse adapter seems to work reasonably well. It can adapt to the plugs and devices from the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. In that respect it's pretty universal. It also has a USB charger plug, which is an additional bonus since we are increasingly reliant on all of our small USB-charging devices.
One big issue that I have with this adapter is its build quality. It looks and feels extremely flimsy. It will probably survive if you use it just occasionally, but I would definitely not recommend it to a more frequent traveler. Also, unless you really travel through multiple and varying regions, an adapter like this one might be an overkill. In that case I recommend looking into some simple and straightforward single-purpose adapters that can cost just a couple of bucks, or even less.

We were worried at such a good price this stuff would be cheap and fall apart easily. This is NOT the case! The cords all work great, the car charger has great grip and stays in place, and the car holder is easily adjustable. The car holder even holds a little wallet sized photo for customization!
