One thing I think we can all agree on, the worst one is the American one, two flimsy thin metal wedges, and only 110v making heating anything take an age. Even as a Barry I’ll accept the French one
type g >>>>
British, its the safest, fuck you.
Ireland, Cyprus and Malta us the three pin square plug as well.
I like UK/IE/CY/MT plug as they are robust, fused and you get a switch on the wall.
However the Euro-schuko plug just for its universality.
The Danish plugs is also very happy.
Switzerland and Brazil: “Let’s do Italy…but with *style*”
I am not a patriotic guy but UK sockets are the best
As always the French always have to be special, we’re the only ones with ground sticking out of the socket, however this is actually quite smart as you’re likely going to touch ground if you put your hands down there, and thus you’re less likely to get electrocuted by faulty plugs
Also a child jamming a fork in there will probably ground the fork and avoir electrocution
The system the swiss use is superior and was planned to be the Schuko successor but by how was schuko spread it seemed to costly as its not about the better system but the money at the end.
The EU one falls out too easily.
Morespecificaly schuko.
Its actually the british one from a technical point of view.
It’s just better in every way. Safer, more practical.
Also the ugliest.
Visually, the danish win.
Obviously.
Wtf is Israel doing?
Australian with the switch is most superior. Neanderthal Europe still can’t switch off their power sources on the wall HAHAHA XD LOL
I hate to say it but it’s 100% the Barry’s. The best thing they gave us during occupation.
German / European one… Also used here in Italy
1) UK
2) au (not the Chinese one they are actually different, well the standards are anyway the Chinese ones lack a lot of safety features)
3) EU
are danish french German Russian Italian and Swiss / Brazil interchangeable for simple 2 pin chargers ??
Because it’s the only one I’m familiar with
Generally speaking, any plug connection in which the contacts have to absorb the mechanical loads emanating from the cable is crap. Conversely, this means that if the insulator absorbs the mechanical load, it is superior.
In addition, the insertion of the insulator into the receptacle prevents (or at least can prevent) contamination of the latter.
​
Ragnar, Pierre, Hans, Pavel, Üeli and many others have realised that this is important.
And those who have not (yet) realised this: Join the plug master race, come to the good connection!
​
Although I assume that Cleetus will continue to operate his crap design, which is also only designed for a ridiculous 110 volts, for centuries to come.
After all, “Murica numba wun” and all that.
I can’t believe a paddy would say this, but its the UK plug and it’s not even close.
I also have a personal vendetta against the Italian plug, good luck plugging it in at night, the pins seem really fragile aswell
The Danish one has such a friendly smile… I bet it’s super child-friendly. Afterwards there is no joy anymore… 😔

Nice thing from the Japs that they made it octopus friendly.
The UK one.
Have to go with my Danish friends because at least you see a happy face before sticking the fork into the socket and shuffling out of this mortal coil
It actually is the Swiss one (fits the small Euro plug in too) it is just too unspread.

Yes thats 3 plugs which also fit the small EU plug on the same space as one EU plug
Long live Schuko
I am pretty confused, that brazil and switzerland have the same
How minimal you want your socket?
Italy: Yes.
Italian is the most elegant, German the most practical
The G type is the goat.
The Italian and Swiss variants are better because they fit the European ones, too. But not viceversa
Where the hell is the ground for the Russian plug?
Or is safety optional over there?
US socket always make me laugh – 😮
Is this some kind of rubbish continental “in” joke?
The mighty British plug towers above all, bestriding the world of electrical connectors like a triple pronged Colossus.
🙂

I’m sorry but if there’s one thing I’m patriotic about it is our plugs. They are superior in every damned way. G plug master race.
