Travel adapter

We have used this adapter more times than I can count. It worked great in the Czech Republic and Germany, and also in Australia (which uses a totally different plug style). Keep in mind- this is merely an adapter, NOT a voltage converter. That said, Apple iPhones already handle the different voltages in other countries, and I suspect that other phones might do the same. My Norelco shaver doesn’t need a voltage converter either, so this adapter works for most anything we travel with. We DO have a converter, but rarely need it in any country. Note that you can plug in an electrical appliance ALONG WITH 4 USB devices at the same time. On a trip to Europe, the outlet we needed to use already had a lamp plugged in. No problem! This adapter has a clever outlet of its own that will accept ANY plug in any country. So- We plugged the lamp into the adapter, then used the adapter in the walk outlet, and had the 4 USB ports available for devices. Sweet!**This adapter has been just as handy for traveling here at home in the US as well. If we go on a weekend getaway or even for an overnight visit with out-of-town friends, there is no need to take separate chargers for 3 or 4 different devices. We just take this plug and are able charge phones, tablets, and my watch. This inexpensive adapter has been one of the most useful travel accessories I’ve ever purchased anywhere. If you travel, you NEED this!

I ordered two of these for our trip from the U.S. to London. I had one for our teenagers’ room, and one for myself and my husband. The bright colors helped us remember to bring them home! There were 4 USB ports in each one, which was plenty to charge 2 phones, a tablet, and an Apple Watch in each room. There was also space to plug something in which was also very helpful. We brought a hair straightener from home and I was a little nervous, but it worked perfectly with this adapter! We will definitely be using these on future travels!

Excellent because of the charge ports, and because there was enough length when extended for it to fit fully in a European style 2-prong outlet. You MUST understand it is an adopter, NOT a converter. So YAY! My CPAP worked perfectly because it works on either American or European current, but I stopped my wife just in time from plugging in her curling iron, which would have blown the fuse at the very least. Remember, it's an ADAPTOR, not a current CONVERTER. Two different things. We bought two and our trip was more convenient because of it.

bought this for a trip to France. PROS: the USB ports were awesome because it eliminated the need to bring my iPhone cube and allowed for multiple devices to be charged at a time (two phones, a fitbit, and an iPad). The compact design (the prongs don't stick out) was nice too. Also liked the blue indicator light so you know power is going through it (in case something shows as not working) and the extra fuse in case it burns out. CONS: when plugged into most outlets, the USB ports were on the bottom so it was awkward to plug them in and then the cord was kind of bent weirdly depending on where the outlet was. (there was one place we stayed at where the outlet was on the table surface, and that was great!) It also doesn't work with "high voltage" items like the steamer or hair straightener I brought even though the voltage it can conduct hass more capacity than each of those items use. I suppose its a 120V vs. 240v thing. I was able to use another power adapter (the plain kind) with the steamer, but it didn't work the same way as it does at home. It would shoot steam out for about 5 seconds, then turn off for about 10 seconds, then back on and steam for 5 seconds... power change thing wasn't noticeable with the hair straightener.Bottom line, it's a nifty device, and works with most standard things one travels with (phone, camera, laptop, watch) but if you have other items like me- it's better to bring a device specifically for EU power

I bought this unit based on the favorable reviews and was disappointed when the unit stopped supplying power to the A/C device that I had plugged into it (the jacks for the four USB devices worked perfectly without interruption). Anyhow, having paid $20 or so for this, I was hoping it would work longer and I contacted the manufacturer, initially by email. I got no response and left a one-star review, but then I tried contacting the manufacturer through Amazon's message system and I got a prompt response. The manufacturer suggested that I try installing the replacement fuse that came in the box with the unit. I had no idea that the thing had a fuse in it, but fortunately I still had the original box and the fuse that came with it. I plugged in the fuse and now the A/C port is working fine again. The manufacturer was kind enough to mail me some replacement fuses in case this happens again (I had trouble finding an exact match for the fuse online). Anyhow, if you look at the 1-star reviews, the manufacturer contacts people who are disappointed and offers to make things right. You really have to admire companies that go the extra mile to support end users. So, I am now rating this product and the manufacturer 5 stars.
