Lenmar AC5 World Travel Adapter/Converter Plug Set Reviews

• Very Nice Product

  
  By APTO3R7UNWEKR on 2006-02-18
  Bought two pairs (for myself and a friend). I tried plugging in my cell phone charger and my generic iPod charger, and both fit well into all 5 of the adapters. I bought these for our trip to Europe in the coming summer (both Ireland/England and continental Europe). A bit cheap construction, but for the price on Amazon, it's worth it. I'll see how well they'll work in the summer, but I'm sure they'll work fine. If not, there's a 3 year warranty.
  
  after trip: these worked great in ALL the countries we visited (ireland, england, france, italy, germany)!
  
  

• No fuss, worked well

  I purchased this set for a trip to England. The adapter worked like a charm with several different electronic devices that I brought with me. I stayed in three different hotels in different parts of the country and never had any trouble whatsoever. Plug this into the wall, plug your device into this adapter, and you are good to go. It was just that easy and worked perfectly every time. The only thing you have to watch is that whatever you plug in can run on the foreign voltage or you'll need a transformer as well. Fortunately, most devices are now made to run on voltage ranging from 110 to 220 but you should always check just to be sure you don't short out anything.
  
  

• Not What I Expected

  I'm sure that this is a fine adapter set, but be advised that it is ONLY an adapter set. Because the title lists the item as an adapter/CONVERTER, that's what I expected to receive. I feel that this listing is misleading when it says "Product Description
  Lenmar AC Plug, Converter Set, 5 Piece, International". I suppose if I knew more about what I was purchasing, I could've seen by the picture that this was only an adapter set, BUT I don't know what a A/C converter is supposed to look like since I don't own one yet. I was relying on the words to guide me.
  
  I am returning the adapter set to purchase one that includes a converter, so I cannot fairly rate this product for what it actually is. Since I had no choice, I assigned the adapter set 3 stars. I'm basing the low rating on the fact that the countries of use are not written directly onto the plugs. Who wants to keep the package and take it along on vacation?
  
  

• Travel adapter plug set

  I purchased this set for a trip to Ireland and Scotland. The plug for that area worked well....no problems in either country.
  
  

• good and cheap

  Good and cheap, works fine. I would wish to be able to buy the single adapters rather than the whole set, but hey, now I'm set to go wherever in the world...!
  
  
• GOOD STUFF
  By A3AVTW7I43UKNF on 2007-05-15
  Great price, efficient (each plug does what it's supposed to), they're lightweight and easy to pack.
  
  
• Not what I expected either
  By A2O18LW5SKYWRC on 2008-03-29
  As a review posted a few days ago stated, this was actually only an adapter set. I ordered it because it was listed as an adapter/converter set, and since there was very little descriptive information contained in the listing, I was expecting it to include a converter. At least amazon covers return postage...
  
  
• Work fine
  By A2Z89VLSXYHNU0 on 2008-04-10
  If all you want is every adapter possible, this set is just fine and way cheaper than some of the fancy versions. It came really quickly and packaged well. I needed the British 3-prong one for Oman (don't believe that the whole middle east has only one kind of plug) and it was great. There isn't a converter with these, so be careful. I didn't need one b/c I only wanted to charge my iPod, camera, and phone which auto-adapt.
  
  
• Perfect
  By A1P0IIJ18RDRH7 on 2008-04-13
  I used these without any problems in both Europe and Italy. I had no trouble with them falling out of the outlets or shorting out.
  
  
• Not a converter
  By AAC5HEMT22E4Y on 2008-07-08
  The fact that the product is called a "converter" led me to believe that it was a voltage converter. It is not. This is a deceptive marketing practice on the part of Lenmar. Don't be fooled. You will only get a set of adapters.
  
  
• Cheap feel, but great quality!
  By A29EIB5532ZC73 on 2008-06-03
  At first glance, these plugs had a very cheap feel to them (which slightly worried me), but they ended up being great. I just got back from a month long trip to Europe (used the europe/UK plugs), and these plugs worked great. I had no problems whatsoever. For the price, you'd be crazy not to pick them up!
  
  
• Adaptor Yes...Converter No...
  By A1Z0CPNMXPZ9R on 2008-06-17
  This is NOT a converter, just a bunch of adapters. That's why I purchased it, thinking that I didn't need something to convert the voltage. But it states clearly on the box that if the item I'm plugging in is not two way voltage ready not to use these. So if you are looking for adapters, this is the product for you, but if you need something to convert it, it's not. You'll have to buy a separate converter...which I had to do.
  
  
• serves the purpose, reasonble quality
  By A2KGYIJ43OE53F on 2007-12-23
  Pretty useful product. I have not used them much yet, but they look durable, even though they do not seem to be made with the best material.
  
  
• Looks good
  By A4JTRMHFKDWX7 on 2008-04-21
  Unfortunately this item shipped after i was already on my way to London. After i came back the package was waiting for me so i've have'nt had a chance to use it yet. It looks decent and it would have been better if all these different adapters/converters came in a carrying case.
  
  
• Useless without a voltage reducer
  By A6NGYGD2RWP4V on 2008-09-06
  The adapters are useless without a voltage reducer and I wish this would have been specified. To drag these all the way to Australia to learn that we needed to purchase a voltage reducer to avoid destroying our items was a disappointment.
