Perfect gadget for people who travel abroad
Took this on a nine day trip to Israel where it performed perfectly. I used it to charge a Nexus 5, A Samsung Tab 2, a Galaxy Nexus, a Huawei Ascend Mate 2 and an Acer 720 chromebook (using the chromebook's US power adapter plugged into the AC output on the power plug). There were many times when I had up to three of these items charging simultaneously and it had no problem whatsoever recharging them quickly and without any problems (heat, noise) that I could see.The only con that I can come up with is that this is a large item, much larger than I expected. However, this large size also allows it to put out a fair amount of power without overheating, and since taking this kept me from having to pack multiple adapters it is well worth while.The only negatives that I have seen in reviews is about the blue charging light. It didn't bother me and, in fact, I like having it since it is a visual indication that the unit is working, but if it did bother me it's nothing that a piece of electrical tape wouldn't quickly fix. I've also seen some complaints about the Plug not holding on to the AC outlet. Because of it's size I was concerned that it would be a problem, but I had no issues whatsoever with it.This item is a perfect solution for me when I travel abroad. I no longer have to worry about finding the right adapter for whichever system the country I'm heading to uses and it does exactly what it claims it will do. I'm really happy I purchased this.

Works so well... others asked to borrow it.
Works great and I like the USB components. Was on a tour bus and it allowed a few of us to charge multiple devices at the same time instead of tying up one outlet. The only annoyance is the bright LED light for when we were on the bus at night, for this it lost 1 star (would give it a 4.5). However on the bus that LED during the day(and night) let me know if it came unplugged on bumpy roads. Several other people borrowed it during the trip as it was better than their single use functioning one.

Worked Great, Sturdy
Great! We took two of these on our trip to Europe and had to lend one to our friends because the one they had didn't work. I would recommend this to anyone. It's sturdy and a value. It has a bright blue light that you must cover at night.

Works but is flawed.
It does work, but it has a shiny blue light that is annoying. I had to tape it over so it wouldn't keep me up at night in hostels. It also sometimes falls out of a wall socket easily since it is a bit heavy.It does the job though and I'm not going to buy another one.

Spare fuse 8A
sent my daughter off to Hungary for 40-days with this fine piece of engineering. I specifically purchased this model as it said it has a "spare fuse 8A". We tried it out at home and it worked fine so off she went. Arrived in Hungary and plugged it in and nothing. Had her locate a small screwdriver to take it apart. She did only to find there is no fuse nor a location for one. She and some fellow mission workers tried for a hour to put it back together so I could return it when she got home. I'm a technical person, I fix things for a living from air conditioners to huge 6-axis robots. I build electical panels from scratch and restore antique autos from the ground up and I could not put this back together or find and advertised FUSE. This is what you call FALSE ADVERTISING. So, thanks, do you know what it is like trying to find a converter when your on a mission trip in the middle of nowhere and have no car. Oh, and I can't send it back, I completely destroyed it looking for this fuse...

Disappointing purchase for our trip
I had purchased this adapter so that during our trip to Europe we could use one device to charge our tablets, phones and camera all at the same time (while we slept). I tried it out at home and it worked as advertised (using USA two prong): I could plug in two devices to the USB ports and still run something through the adapter. But, when we got to Europe and used the two pin adapter, the USB ports did NOT work at all. We were stuck with charging one thing at a time. My other comment is that it is also more bulky than I imagined.

Works well, easy to use.
We were travelling in France, England, and Switzerland, so we bought one of these. We chose this unit because we were not sure what type of outlets were used, and we liked the built in USB ports. We also bought another unit which requires you to piece together the connectors you needed to connect power. The Mudder unit quickly became our unit of choice - it worked well and was very easy to use. I'd recommend this one over other options.

Great Value
This was used for a recent trip to Europe and England and it worked perfectly in every country visited. I especially liked the USB port for charging up the cell phone and tablet while also supplying power to other devices simultaneously.
