 Italy 3 Prong Power Adapter - Works Excellent Jun 04, 2009
By ProdReview Amazon
This was perfect for my Italy trip. The 3 prong (grounded) adapter worked in Rome and in Florence. Italy has both 2 prong (non ground) and 3 prong (ground) outlets. This is a must have for Italy as the European 2 prong (non grounded) adapter does not work in Italy. The width of the 2 prong adapter for Europe is not the same width as the 2 prong adapter for Italy.
I used the Italy 3 prong adapter to charge my curling iron, cell phone travel charger and digital camera battery charger. All of my devices were dual voltage which supports the U.S. as well as foreign voltage requirements. This means I did not have to tote around a voltage converter. I needed the adapter only.
I hope this review helps

Excellent adaptor for US devices Oct 14, 2010
By MJK
This product fits most grounded outlets in Italy. If you have grounded devices such as laptops, this is an improvement over a 2 pin adaptor.
What it does not do:
1) It does not transform power. It just passes through 220v power. If you need 120v, you need to buy a transformer. (Read your power adaptor. Many laptops and camera battery chargers can take both 120v and 220v power. Some cannot. Do not plug a 120v device into this plug without a transformer.)
2) Occasionally one finds a recessed plug in Italy. The dimensions of this adaptor will not fit into the recessed plug.
3) In older buildings one may find non-grounded outlets. You will need a 2 prong adaptor to fit these outlets.
4) I have never run into plugs in Italy with prong spacing other than what comes with this adaptor however elsewhere in Europe there are different spacings.
I have 2 of these grounded adaptors and also carry 2 two prong adaptors and a transformer that transforms 220v to 120v current with me when I go to Italy. The 2 prong adaptors are good for non-grounded applications such as most battery chargers for camera batteries. The 2 prong adaptors can be plugged into most if not all grounded plugs in Italy.
I recommend both types of adaptors if you are going to Italy and need grounded plugs for some of your applications. If you have no devices that require grounding there would be no need for a grounded adaptor. My laptop requires a grounded connection.

 A square peg in a round hole Oct 25, 2011
By Marc Daniels
Just got back from our trip to Italy. I had bought one of these plug adapters and it worked fine in the first hotel, but our second hotel room had recessed circular outlets. These types of outlets would not fit this square adapter. I'm uploading an image to the "user images gallery" for this product to illustrate the problem. Anyway, I had also seen slimmer rectangular shaped plug adapters and wish I had chosen one of those instead. I would highly recommend you choose one of the slimmer rectangular options instead of this boxy one. Essentially this adapter will only work in the style of power outlets that are flush to the face plate.

Standard, good price Mar 24, 2011
By Dana
I know a lot of people have written that it's not the right outlet adapter and they were disappointed. Just a heads up - I lived in Italy and can tell you that Italy has 2 common outlets and another less common outlet. This is the MOST COMMON of the 3 types, but depending on your stay, especially if you are staying at multiple locations around the country, you may need the other types of adapters as well. Generally I recommend this 3-prong for travelers, it is the most common and most popular on travel websites, and my experience confirms this. If you're staying at a hotel or B&B I would write ahead to inquire, most places will kindly give you an answer.
I hope this helps!

 Universal adaptor Oct 12, 2009
By Karl Kennedy
"Crazy Diamond 2"
The Universal plug adaptor worked everywhere in Tuscanny except in the ancient hotel of Adler Cavalieri where the receptacle was round and recessed. But it worked great everywhere else.
