OREI USA to South Africa, Botswana, Namibia & More (Type M) Travel Adapter Plug - 2 in 1 - CE Certified - RoHS Compliant - 2 Pack - White Color (DB-10L-2PK)

These were a little bit more expensive than the Ceptics Grounded Universal Plug Adapter for South Africa (Type M) that come in a three pack, but worth it to buy a few extras. I have only Type M sockets in my house (in Nepal) but no electronic devices sold in this country (let alone the ones I brought with me from the US) even power strips, use that type of plug, so I needed plug adapters for every socket in my house. Local plug adapters are very poorly made, they are bulky, don't fit well in the socket, and the plugs fit very loosely (some of them even sparked and smoked when I plugged something in!!)The OREI Grounded Universal 2 in 1 Plug Adapter Type M is an excellent product, very well made and sturdy and doesn't stick out too far from my wall. Plugs (of varying shape and types) fit securely into it, and the extra plug on top is a nice bonus - especially for the sockets behind furniture, where there isn't enough space for the adapter AND the plug to stick straight out from the wall. I bought several packs of the Ceptics adapters for use around the house, and a handful of these OREI ones for strategic use in places where I need two plugs (but don't have room for a power strip) or in tighter spaces.

Nothing to dislike. Well-made, works well, in use right now during an extended trip. Highly recommended.

No problems; works in connecting US devices to South African power systems; is effective in that it incorporates TWO input connections. (Was used recently for several weeks in various South African areas.)((Notice to potential users: This device DOES NOT convert the 240 volt current common in S. Africa to any other current level -- to do that, you'll need a voltage adapter / transformer, which is an altogether different device.))

A complete joke. Looks like the real thing but is like 20% too smol. I wish I could return but I’m in South Africa already. This is a type D, not an M. M should be the bigger one.

One general problem I've had with adapter sets that have multiple plugs for countries around the world is that they often are bulky when plugging into an outlet and have had several not make it through a trip. This time I opted to get just a plug adapter for the specific country I was going that was good and solid.One great feature of this plug is having dual ports/outlets to plug into. It is very well designed with one outlet being on the back and another on the top which made it easy to us both at the same time (e.g. was able to run my laptop computer while also charging my camera/phone batteries at the same time). The adapter is compact and easy carrying for travel. Worked perfectly, never overheated, and power was consistent.

Just returned from South Africa and used this adapter the whole time we were there. It worked great and loved that it had 2 ports to recharge. All the electronics we used were able to use both120/240v so we had no trouble (phone, cameras, kindles and curling iron). I could have used another. We used it in CapeTown, Lion Sands Sabi and Joburg. Great price for great product.This may be obvious for some but it wasn't for us, this only works in south Africa if you go to East Africa or Seychelles island you will need a different adapter. That was something we learned the hard way.

The M type has some honking big pins. it looks similar to the D but it is way bigger. fatter pins, like double sized and the pins are longer too. this company makes the best adaptors. i have several versions for international travel. they are fairly compact for an adaptor. they have 2 receiver plugs so that is a big bonus because plenty of places on this planet do not have 4 double sockets in every room. this is the way to go for sure. go online and check out the destinations then order this or the type(s) you need for your trip.

Just returned from safari. It workes exactly as described. The unit was delivered on time in excellent shape. I particularly like the fact it has two locations where you can plug either a 2-prong US or continental European round-2-prong plugs at the same time. You can also plug in the flat-3-prong UK/African plug type into the main converter plug. Africa was awesome!
