only grounded plug I could find online July 12, 2008

Product was fine. In a product like this, there is nothing to rave about as long as it works! What I can say is that this turned out to be the ONLY grounded UK-compatible plug I was able to find on short notice online. All the others had pictures (not just on Amazon; on Radio Shack, etc) that made them LOOK grounded ... but the "third" prong on all of them was actually plastic, and therefore not functional. That's fine for many products that have only two-prong plugs, but I had a couple of devices that really do need their ground (or "earth" as they call it in Britain) and this plug filled that need.
It Was Perfect! October 8, 2009

This Samsonite adapter was perfect for our trip to Ireland. It was small and light, in addition to being grounded. All the hotels and B&B's in Ireland have hair dryers, but I needed to make sure my camera batteries were always recharged, so this product was great. It was durable, but not big and bulky like some of those all-in-one adapters. Great product.
Very Good... (See Update) October 6, 2008

I have traveled quite a bit and this adapter plug was first rate. You might be able to find it cheaper once you arrive in the UK, but the quality of this one will be noticeably superior. Definitely recommend.
***UPDATE***
I purchased three of these and within a few months of use, two have short circuited. Not entirely sure what the problem is.

My family took two of these to London recently, and both worked flawlessly with every kind of U.S. plug we had. The flat we rented had a couple adapters, too, but they didn't work at all or didn't work with all our plugs. (Hard to believe that a product as simple as an adapter could be made so poorly it wouldn't work!) The Samsonite adapters were a little more expensive, but for a few bucks who wants to waste time in London on a faulty adapter?
A Beautiful Adapter. February 1, 2009

This is one of the few UK->USA adapters that actually has a real ground/earth connection, as is desired by laptop computer power supplies (for safety and EMC reasons). It is well built and works perfectly in the UK :-)
