Buyer Beware!
DO NOT BUY this if you're hoping to use it to charge a toothbrush or shaver. Despite the specially shaped lower apertures (clearly seen on the image associated with the listing for this item) a shaver plug cannot be inserted. This is the result of a manufacturing error, I believe. The front plate of the adaptor is designed for equipment without an earth connection, including shavers & toothbrushes. The rear section of the adaptor, on the other hand, does have an earth connector & that gets in the way of the shaver plug pins. When I complained to the seller, Motionperformance-Waxacar, they were less than helpful, suggesting I return the adaptor at my own expense (which would cost more than the price I paid for the product!). Also, please note that the pins on this adaptor are wide & therefore unsuitable for southern European countries, eg. Italy, where the socket holes are narrower.PS. My seller feedback has not been published or acknowledged. I wonder why!!!!!

One for beardies
Unlike my last travel plug, where the shields were v.obstructive, this one seems better designed with a proper, functioning lifter worked by the earth prong. That said plugging in does meet a bit more resistance than you’d expect, but nothing too bad. Also the plug looks to have a proper earth connection, which is often absent from such plugs.What is bad is trying to plug in a two pin razor socket. First you have to invert a 3 pin plug to lift the shields. Then, no matter how much force you use, the razor pins will not go in, even tho’ it has the external moulded slots for such. The internal brass or copper terminals are just too narrow/inflexible to take the pins. So you will have to carry a shaver adaptor as well, in order to use a corded shaver (or a battery shaver recharge lead).That said the price (£1.75/plug) was low, no doubt made in China, so I guess you get what you pay for. Not worth sending back given the likely postal costs.

No good in Italy
I was not able to use this on a recent visit to Italy. As shown in the photo, the other adaptor on the left was fine but the Pifco on the right has thicker prongs and would not fit into the sockets. I haven't tried it in any other EU countries and possibly Italy has different sockets, though I had thought they were all the same. I know these are very cheap to buy and not worth complaining about but it would be frustrating for someone who had only bought this type of adaptor to find out when needing to use them that they're unsuitable.

European Travel Plug
Item as described. As suggested by other feedbacks, any UK plug inserted into this is very hard to remove, but is achievable with some effort. Only for a couple of weeks a year, so good for the price you pay.

Not fit for purpose
Do not fit the plugs properly in Crete. A waste of money
