Quality versus price.
Here’s what, we’ve picked out a typical common adapter that you could get from the market for around SGD $10 – 15 that’s a close copy to the Swiss Travel Adapter and made a quick comparison, here are some of what we have made out.
Better Workmanship
Firstly, by just the look of it, the STA (Swiss Travel Adapter) by STP (Swiss Travel Products) is better in workmanship, more polished and cleaner finish as compared to the common adapter.
STA doesn’t scratch easily, as compared to the common adapter. Even the instructional prints for the STA doesn’t seem to get scratched and rubbed of easily like the one from the common adapter.
Sturdier parts
The STA can got sturdier fitting parts while the common adapter has ill fitting, loose parts making it filmsier and it’s jerkier and tougher to try to slide the parts in and out. The STA is very smooth when you slide them.
Safer to use
The common adapter has got exposed metals at it’s face where you fit your plug in, whereas the STA has it’s metal bits concealed making it alot safer to use.
Swiss Travel Adapter better in value
The STA is more packed in it’s compact form weighing at about 115 g compared to the common adapter which weighs 97 g. While both are roughly similar in size, it shows you’re getting more from the STA for the minimum size with it’s better stronger material and better designed on the inside for usability and safety.
The STA will prove to be more lasting since it comes with a lifetime warranty.
The Swiss Travel Adapter is now available with 33% off at SGD $26.60 at Apple Bazaar.
