Great and neat - for a portable device.
But, for fixed installations, I'd stick with the standard one. Reason? moving parts. Eventually things that move fall apart, and it adds a uneeded faliure point for places that dont need the lower form factor when in a bag.
I use continental plugs now anyway, double isolated mcb's on radials back at the fusebox, low form factor on the non earthed ones, and the shunko euro plug is a really neat robust design. Imagine how good it would be if the uk went to that standard too, no two plugs for the same market or device target market hardware, no carrying travel adaptors etc etc
Wait till these get badly cloned, but with a wobbly joint that drops to bits when you pull the plug out exposing 240 in the remnants sticking out the socket
