Lewis N. Clark No-Jet-Lag Homeopathic Flight Fatigue Remedy Review

Lewis N. Clark No-Jet-Lag Homeopathic Flight Fatigue Remedy
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I have been using No-Jet-Lag for about a year for transcontinental travel, but didn't feel I was really putting it to the test. Today is my first day back from a week in Barcelona. I feel normal -- which is VERY different from trips to Europe in recent years.
If you buy this stuff, follow the recommendations to the letter. And do realize that the product does not substitute for sleep. You still need your 8 hours every 24 (or whatever). What No-Jet-Lag does is relieve the other symptoms of long-distance travel across time zones. And as far as I'm concerned, it does it well.

Eagle Creek Dual Wattage International Convertor Set Review

Eagle Creek Dual Wattage International Convertor Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Used for travel in China starting in Beijing and finishing in Hong Kong. When it takes an adapter on the voltage converter, the weight of the converter is a challenge on a loose outlet. I had to prop up the converter several times so it wouldn't loose electrical connection or even fall out of the outlet. I don't think any other brand converter would have worked any better. I also had another product that was a plastic block that contained several plug configurations that would pop out of the block. It didn't work with some outlets, mainly the slanted plug (Australian type).

Clip Wallet in Ivory Review

Clip Wallet in Ivory
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I've been using this for years. I keep my passport, credit card and extra cash in it. I've never used the belt loops, like in the picture. I have always used the clip to hold the pouch to my waistband on the inside of my pants. I've never had a problem with it rubbing on my leg, and although you can feel it, I've never been uncomfortable. My passport does get bent a little bit while sitting, but it's not damaged, and most of all it is safe from pickpockets. Credit card definitely gets bent, but it still swipes through okay. Once you get back home and keep your credit card in your wallet, the card straightens back out.
I give this product 5 stars because it's not a giant silly looking waist pouch. Nor is it a neck pouch that rubs on your chest, looks funny, and gives men an unfashionable cotton necklace. Also it deserves 5 stars because it works perfectly, it is the perfect size, the material lasts and it is a great way to hide your passport.

It doesn't change voltages, it is an adapter, not a converter. Better quality than most plugs you own. Most all of your travel appliances are dual voltage now, as are most laptop power supplies and battery chargers.
this is probably all you need- check your hardware before buying a converter.

Samsonite Adaptor Plug - Australia, New Zealand, Fiji Review

The notes from the manufacturer on the Amazon page say you get 4 plugs plus a nylon travel pouch for your $10. In fact, what was in the package that just arrived was just one plug and no travel pouch. The plug looks like a good one, but we feel we were very much mislead by the product description.

Universal Travel Adapter Plug Kit Review

Universal Travel Adapter Plug Kit
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I travel a fair bit but seem to often misplace my adapters, so this is maybe my fourth set in recent years.
These are nice and lightweight and will adapt your two-prong US outlets to the European/Asian round two pins, as well as the UK big ol' three prongs, and the Australian slanted prongs. The fourth piece seems to be to US two prongs and appears to work from European round prongs, but not Australian slanted prongs.
When I travel, I also carry the US three-prong to two-prong adapter for my computer. The way these are designed, a US three-prong will also fit into them, which possibly means you don't need the extra piece. That might be a safety hazard because it leaves the third prong exposed? I dunno. It might functionally be the same.
I was specifically looking for the US to European round prong adapter and don't often need the others, so I appreciate this set, which is affordable. It's also handy that it comes with a little bag to store things in.
Remember that these are adapters, but not power converters. Your computer likely handles dual current; my camera battery charger and phone charge do as well. And that's all I take when I travel... but check your own electronics for the current; you might need a converter and not just an adapter.

Samsonite Converter/Adaptor Plug Kit with Pouch Review

Samsonite Converter/Adaptor Plug Kit with Pouch
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
To actually convert a 220V sinusoidal waveform into a 110V sinusoidal waveform, you need to use an AC transformer. This method is safe for all low-power appliances. For higher power, however, the AC transformer required is bulky and heavy (around 20 pounds for 1000W), making it impractical as a travel voltage converter.
This item offered here (Samsonite Converter/Adaptor Plug Kit with Pouch) does not contain an AC transformer. Instead, it uses a solid-state switch inside that chops off part of the 220V sinusoidal waveform. This is exactly how an incandescent lamp dimmer works. The resulted waveform, however, is highly distorted and is far from an 110V sinusoidal voltage.
The product description says: "powerful 1600 watt converter that adjusts foreign electrical current to help operate most U.S. travel appliances: i.e. irons, hair dryers, etc.". What is not explained here is that it can only be used with simply HEATING appliances, which work regardless of distorted voltage waveform. If you try to use any electronic appliance (such as DVD player, computer or battery charger) on this "converter", it will probably be fried in an instant!
My advice is to stay away from this potentially destructive product. If you must bring electronic appliances with your oversea trips, make sure they are rated for universal voltage of 100-240V AC. That way, you can safely use them in other countries without the need for a volatge converter.
Power supplies for most portable electronics (laptop, camcorder, cell-phone, electric shavers, etc.) are already designed for universal voltage, although some of them may require you to physically flip a voltage-selection switch. Check the user manual or the AC input plug of your appliance to make sure. If that is the case, all you need is a set of plug adapters, which you can get at much lower price than this Converter/Adapter pulg kit.

Samsonite Worldwide Adaptor Plug Review

Samsonite Worldwide Adaptor Plug
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Yeah, this adaptor worked just fine but it was poorly constructed and flimsy.
REMEMBER, this is an adaptor NOT a converter despite appearances to the contrary. An adaptor merely adapts US male plugs to fit their European or Asian female wall socket counterparts. You will still have a 220 V power source. A converter transforms the 220 V from Europe to the 110 commonly found in the USA. You will also need to pay close attention to the wattage of the converter. A converter that will run your wife's hairdryer will not necessarily work on devices requiring less wattage. Many, if not most, converters have switches to handle both load levels.
Most computer and camera rechargers will work with a simple adaptor since they are designed to handle either 110 V or 220 V. You need only look at the label on your charger to determine what voltage it is designed for.
I'm still looking for a well made solidly built adaptor.

Travel Accessories Samsonite 60 Watt Step Down Transformer Review

Travel Accessories Samsonite 60 Watt Step Down Transformer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Hi, I travel a lot, and recently, I've needed a transformer to deal with a couple of products that do not have variable voltage (e.g., baby monitor and baby monitor camera). I used this in Italy and Hungary, and it served its purpose (I've fried a voltage converter and AC adapter by not knowing the voltage wasn't variable in the past).
A couple of key points:
1. The plug is for European output only.
2. I found this very useful in conjunction with a monster cable travel power strip, so I could plug in multiple devices through this transformer.
3. As others have mentioned, it is heavy, but if you really need this, then it's still a lot better than buying a European/Asian AC adaptor or not bringing an applicance that you need to use.
I think we'll be using this quite a bit in the future.
One final note--you do not need this product if you're simply plugging in products like mobile phones, laptops, camera battery chargers as these products typically (you should check your own product to make sure) are able to operate across multiple voltages and therefore require a simple plug adaptor that doesn't have any transformer capabilities.

Travelon Universal-3-in-1 Converter, Adapter, USB Charger Review

Travelon Universal-3-in-1 Converter, Adapter, USB Charger
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
We just returned from 2 weeks in France. Bought this adapter/Converter before we left to charge a battery for our camera, a cell phone and 2 iPods. The outlet worked in Paris, but the USB port didn't. It made the iPhone's icons jiggle and made a high-pitched whirring sound. Thought this wasn't a good sign, so didn't use that. When we went south, the USB didn't work on the boat we rented, but again the outlet was okay. When we got to Bordeaux, the outlet didn't work, but the USB did. So we were forced to go to a camera center to charge the battery for the camera, but could use the USB port for the iPhone and iPods.
To sum up, better have a contingency plan if this is the only adapter/converter you plan on using.

Does as claimed - it enables my North American cords to connect to AU/NZ electrical outlets. No complaints on this item, I stayed mostly in hotels whose outlets worked fine with this adapter. This is an adapter and NOT a converter - the electrical current is unchanged from the outlet to whatever you connect to the adapter.
As a side note, I did encounter several outlets that utilized a rounded ground pin rather than this units slat-type ground pin.

As a frequent traveler, I ordered this item as a space- and weight-saving alternative to my trusty converter/adapter set. I received the item and promptly departed on a trip overseas. Thank goodness I took my old set as a back-up. The USB port on this item worked for a total of 1-2 minutes and hasn't worked since. I used it to adapt a european style outlet for my dual voltage laptop charger and after approximately five minutes, it began to hum and emit the odor of melting wires. Finally the fuse blew and I chucked the item in the bin. I would not recommend this product to anyone.
