Are you sure that a layman is not allowed to install/change plugs himself? at 230V voltage?
Example: I chop off the cable of the cable reel with the hedge trimmer, then what? an electrician has to come? no nope.
The adapters cannot be removed for regulatory reasons. As stated in the product description:
"This adapter cannot be removed non-destructively after installation."
However, it can also be used without the sealing disc.
Not bad at all. The foam rubber seal may prevent rattling noises. I had already forgotten about it, it has no consequences apart from temporary uncertainty. 😉
The 3rd pole is the neutral conductor/earthing. There should be a Schuko (earthing contact) plug on the mixer with a corresponding hole for the protruding pole. This makes it possible in Switzerland to use German and other appliances with Schuko plugs.
The first digit in the IP classification stands for protection against the ingress of solids. The second digit for resistance to moisture / water. IP44 is suitable for the bathroom because the 4 at the end means "protection against splashing water". Even safer would be an adapter with a 5 or a 7 at the end.
try to press it harder. this adapters are designed that they stay inseparable to each other. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vC0GfdAVxVI

If you have purchased the monitor from Digitec, you can request a cable with a swiss plug free of charge from the customer service. They are responsible to sell electrical products with swiss plugs, costumers don't have to accept non swiss plugs or buy the correct ones at their own costs.
No, as the German plugs are bulky and large, an adapter cannot make them any smaller. Interestingly, Switzerland actually has the most elegant format on the market. England has the largest plugs, so the German plugs are actually small in comparison ;-)
It is therefore advisable to use power strips with the plugs arranged crosswise:
Skross Home Station (3 x, type 13, 1.50 m)
Or you can use a short extension cable in between:
Blank extension cable (0.50 m, type 12, type 13)
Why are the pins not rotated by 180 degrees? With a Schuko plug, where the cable runs at an angle, the hole for the earthing pin on the Schuko side is always opposite the outgoing cable. As the earthing pins of a Swiss three-pin socket are positioned towards the centre of the socket, this means that the cable also runs towards the centre of the socket.
As the adapter on the Schuko side obviously accepts a CEE 7/7 plug, where the pin assignment (neutral and phase) on the left and right is irrelevant, retaining the pin assignment is not an argument. This leaves the use in a single, horizontally arranged Swiss socket outlet: Here, the earthing pin is indeed typically at the bottom, and the cable then also runs downwards.
Of course, it would be best if both variants were available and you could choose.
Hello,
After ordering the Signstek Portable from you, I asked if an adapter was available and you recommended the product 135800 "Max Hauri T12/Schuko".
I ordered another adapter, item 135801 which is apparently the same as the 135800 but in white and a little cheaper.
Unfortunately, this adapter does not work with the Signstek Portable (I'm not going to return it to you because of the price).
The dimensions are the same, so I doubt it a bit. Thank you in advance for your information.
Digitec (or any other Swiss dealer) is obliged to supply electrical appliances with a Swiss plug. If the device is delivered with a foreign plug, a suitable replacement cable must be provided if the power cable is plugged in or, if the power cable is firmly connected, a suitable adapter must be provided.
If the appliance is delivered without a suitable plug, please contact customer service and ask for a cable or an adapter, free of charge.

No, that's too much power consumption for this adapter.

The device was bought from Digitec/Galaxus?

Digitec (or any other Swiss dealer) is obliged to deliver electrical devices with a Swiss plug. If the device comes with a foreign plug, a suitable replacement cable should be supplied if the power cable is pluggable or, alternatively, if the power cable is firmly connected, a suitable adapter should be supplied.
If the device comes without a suitable plug, complain to customer service and insist on a cable or adapter, free of charge.

Yes there is, fixed adapter for Schuko to T23. There must be. Exactly because of the case shown here that there are also devices with >10A that are supplied with a Schuko plug. Normally, it is up to the supplier to provide the correct adapter. So that no confusion can arise. You can't tinker with all these devices as you suggest...
https://www.digitec.ch/search?q=fixadapter%20T23
But @Martin1606 will face the next problem as all people who have to use such a fix adapter. You need a socket type 23 (with 16A fuse) as a plug type 23 does not fit into the normal sockets (T12/T13) as these are only designed for max. 10A.

Digitec (or any other Swiss retailer) is obliged to supply electrical appliances with a Swiss plug. If the appliance is supplied with a foreign plug, a suitable replacement cable should be supplied if the mains cable is pluggable or alternatively if the mains cable is permanently connected, a suitable adapter should be supplied.
If the appliance is delivered without a suitable plug, complain to the customer service and insist on a cable or an adapter, free of charge.

This is a fixed adapter. This means that once the adapter has been plugged or pressed onto the Schuko plug, it can no longer be separated from the Schuko plug. The adapter and plug form a single unit. A plug adapted in this way can be used like a "normal" Swiss plug and remain plugged in permanently.
The fixed connection of adapter and Schuko plug must be like this. It is required by law if the appliance was purchased for use in Switzerland only. Adapters that do not establish a fixed connection (e.g. travel adapters) are prohibited.
If the Nespresso machine was purchased from a Swiss dealer and was delivered with a Schuko plug but no adapter was included, complain. The dealer MUST supply the adapter.

Just complain to customer service that they are not being customer unfriendly but simply not fulfilling their obligations. Digitec/Galaxus MUST deliver the device with a Swiss plug, they are legally obliged to do so.
