About 6PKSCHUKO Heavy Duty Grounded USA American to European German Schuko Outlet Plug Adapter
Overall Feedback:
80% positive
87% praised the wide compatibility, but 13% faced issues
I recommend using the round adapter for both US 3-prong and 2-prong plugs as it fits snugly on both sides, providing stability in the Euro/Schuko socket. Flat 2-prong adapters may have a loose connection or fall out of the socket, especially with heavy cables or an AD/DC converter at the plug end.
The adapters fill European sockets and essentially turn them into American ones, as American devices are often designed to plug into a flush wall socket.
Often the adapters are too short to fit into European outlets or cannot be pulled out again without risking electric shock.
86% liked the durability, but 14% experienced premature wear
As long as we can handle European power, we are good to go.
This electrical adapter is not durable for regular plugging in/out.
I noticed that the adapter came apart and exposed the electrically hot metal contacts, which could have been dangerous. It had 230 volts of power. My daughter pulled the plug and luckily did not get electrocuted. This indicates poor durability of the adapter.

72% liked the helpful indicator lights, but 28% found them unclear

78% found it portable, while 22% thought it was bulky
I suggest that the best type of adapter has a narrow flange around the top, making it easier to pull out from a snug fit outlet.
These adapters fill the European sockets and turn them into American ones.
Compared to other fancier versions, the product is lightweight and does not take up much space.
The plug adaptors take up more space in luggage than required and are larger than necessary.
70% appreciated the high power output, though 30% found it insufficient
I noticed that the adapter had a problem with the power output. My wife was pulling on the remaining part still plugged into the socket with fully exposed 220 VAC power less than 1/2 inch away from her hand.
91% appreciated the safety features, although 9% didn't
I find the product dangerous as it easily opens and exposes the inside contacts, posing a safety issue.
The electrical adapter has live exposed contacts that can be touched accidentally, posing a fatal hazard.
