Five Star Reviews: | 61% Great International Travel Power Adapter! Must Have! December 26, 2016 This is a great travel power adapter that will actually ensure your electronics don't get destroyed when abroad.!I have used this product multiple times abroad with no issues. One of the best things about this product is the multiple outlets and USB outputs available - meaning you can charge multiple devices at once. Furthermore, this device actually ensures the correct voltage and what not is delivered to your electronic devices, thus avoiding the concerns of damaging your expensive items. I highly recommend getting this product if you tend to travel a lot and carry enough electronic devices that require some frequent recharging.Pros:Many outputs (USB and standard USA outlet)Many adapters (Caters to many different countries and types of outlets)Voltage Regulator (Ensures your equipment will also receive the right amount of volts)Decent length power cord (Great if you want to have easy access to the ports without having to be near the originating power outlet)Over current and temperature protection (Must have to avoid electronic destruction)Not heavyCons:Not really too much of a con but this device does have a small operating fan to regulate its operational temperature. This will pretty much be seen on any other products that offer voltage conversion, over current protection, and temperature protection. It isn't too loud and can be utilized at night without disturbing any sleeping person. It is a small cost compared to all the benefits this device offers Great for home AND abroad June 4, 2016 The converter worked exceptionally well on my recent trip to the UK. I over-prepared by also buying a set of three Type G plug adapters, which I wound up never using, as the BESTEK 200W Travel Power Converter was all I needed (and it comes with it's own set of plug adapters for all regions). I stayed in 2 hotels and 3 B&B's on my trip and in 4 of the 5 places, I only had access to one outlet anyway. Yet I needed to plug in at least three items (sometimes 4) each night. I made use of the outlets and a USB charging port, together, and everything charged up perfectly. The fan sound didn't bother me at all.The box that holds the converter, cord and adapters is compact and packed easily in my suitcase. In fact, I'm so pleased with the weight and size of the converter that I'm thinking it's just as ideally suited as a compact power-strip/surge protector for an upcoming trip to the family's cabin where we're all competing for outlets with all of our devices. I've always traveled with bigger power strips within the U.S. because most hotels or family guest rooms fail to provide enough outlets for charging all of my electronics. Now this device gives me all the connections I need, wherever I go. Hero-status, confirmed. February 18, 2016 Have you ever wanted to be a superhero? Have people chant your name, while cheering your existence? All you merely need to do is travel through airports with this in your carry-on, and you'll be the hero everyone didn't know they needed.Aww, rugrat stole the last outlet in the nearby vacinity of your departure gate? No sweat! Plug this puppy in (there's an adapter so the plug can work in US outlets), and suddenly you can charge ALL THE THINGS!Outside of the airport, I was my family's hero because no one fought over who was charging what and when... We could charge 3 phones, 3 tablets, and a couple battery packs all overnight without having to wake up and swap whatever needed charging.My only criticism is that it doesn't come with a carrying case or something for corralling the plug adapters because while my super power is having outlets in my backpack, my kryptonite is losing things. Highly Versatile Device That Eliminates The Need For Other Power Adapters January 2, 2016 If you are like me and travel frequently and find that many hotels in foreign countries have only a limited number of power outlets which makes charging or plugging in multiple devices a pain, the BESTEK portable power strip/power adapter is a great solution.I also love not having to bring along several different power adapters for different devices.The BESTEK allows me to only use one outlet with the included adapter which I can then plug multiple devices into to share power.This works great with my Mac Book Air, powered USB hub, iPhone(s), iPad and other electronics since it has 3 regular US style outlets and several USB ports.If there is a downside to this device it would be the cooling fan which can be a bit loud if your room is really quiet, but it is not so loud that it creates background noise that can be disruptive when on voice/video calls.I highly recommend the BESTEK if you have plans to travel internationally and are having problems either finding power adapters or do not want to carry several different ones for your different devices.Oh and save the box it comes in, works as a great storage and transport container. Amazing! So many ports :D July 28, 2015 We traveled from the USA to the UK for two weeks. This adapter and setup was amazing! There is no noticeable change in charging speed, even with lots of devices plugged in. We used it in the airport, on the train, and the entire family made use of it at the house.It seems a little pricey, compared to the one-outlet converters, but it was well worth it. With two people you have two phones and two computers, already that is four outlets and four converters if you want to charge everything at onceThe USB ports are very, very convenient! There are two 1A and two 2.4A ports, so any USB device can get ample power.Only potential con: it has a fan to keep it cool (which is good), but it is a little noisy. But, plugging it in somewhere besides the bedroom negates this issue. You quickly forget about the noise after you first turn it on.Overall great purchase and I would highly recommend if you are traveling with more than one person! Mom always said yes you get what you pay for... April 7, 2015 And this is money well spent! First off, the other reviews made me think the fan on this unit was going to be louder than a rocket taking off and it's not! You have to be one heck of a light sleeper to be kept awake by this little bit of noise! Also, the photo of the unit makes it seem that there's an enormous amount of space between the plug and there is! Charging my camera batteries will now be a breeze! With the ample amount of plug ins, the fan to prevent over heating, and the built in step down converter why would you buy anything else!?!??!! This will be the first thing packed for my three week trip to Europe! I might update the review after if I remember :) Have a great day and please don't hesitate to buy! This product is spectacular! | 76% Compact size is great compared to all-in-one models. May 1, 2017 Buy for the country you need, you save money and size. Dad was working in London, got these for him to use. He loved the compact size. Other people he was working with were jealous of the small size compared to their large brick adapters. Buying the EU ones for a team working with me this summer in Amsterdam. For electrical outlets in AUS, NZ and CHINA. February 17, 2017 The adapters labeled 3-C are for AUS, NZ and CHINA. I was thinking #-C must be some industry standard but I think it's just a notation used by Bestek. I think it stands for 3-prong China. But the prongs are also for Australia and NZ, although it does not say that on the actual adapter. The female sockets accept US and UK prongs, and importantly the fit is snug. (Some of the cheap brands that send you 14 adapters are useless because the female sockets don't grip the male prongs well enough and the adapter falls out.) Excellent value December 9, 2016 Worked well in most situations. A few places where the fit into a wall plug outlet was not good. But this item was reliable and worked 100% of the time with 90% of the wall plugs I found in Germany & Southern France. The adapters themselves are sturdy and easy to use with my appliances. The 3 pack was ideal for use by two travelers. I also utilized a 3-way multi-plug expander to accommodate multiple appliances plugged into one of these Bestek adapters. Worked great. Bestek Universal Plug Adapter for Italy - 3 Pack August 24, 2016 I purchased these adapters for our upcoming trip to Italy. These are basic plug adapters that will let you use a USA-Style plug (and many others) in the type of outlet you see in Italy, Uruguay, Chile and Syria with the grounded 3-prong outlet, but there are a few words of caution that need to be said before you buy them.IMPORTANT - It is critical to know that these are ADAPTERS, NOT CONVERTERS!!! Yes, you will be able to use a different plug in an Italian outlet, but there is much more to it than that. The power over in Italy is 220 volts, twice the 110 volts that we have here in the USA. BEFORE you plug a device (cell phone charger, hair dryer, etc.) into this adapter then into the wall you MUST make sure that it can work on 220v. I CANNOT STRESS THIS ENOUGH!!!In order to tell if your electrical device is capable of using 220v, you must look very carefully at the label on the device itself, the charger or the power pack. It MUST say "INPUT - 110-240 Volts AC", telling you that it is capable of handling the increased voltage. If it only says "INPUT - 110 (or 120) Volts AC" then you must not use this adapter - you will need either a new charger or appliance that works on 220v or you will need a step-down converter to reduce the 220v to 110v, and THIS ADAPTER IS NOT A CONVERTER! The take-home lesson is that you must pay attention to what you have and what you are doing.Here are my personal observations:Pros:+ Reasonable size and weight for easy packing.+ Adequate construction (hey, it's only plastic but it works).+ My USA style plugs fit firmly and do not slide out too easily.+ 13 amp capacity (which is quite a lot for 220v service).+ Inexpensive, and it's a 3-pack.Cons:- I would have preferred that they were not universal and only fit USA plugs, this way they would have fewer unused openings and could have been more solidly made.Overall, these are a basic travel necessity for a reasonable price. If your electrical device can handle 220 volts, then these should work for you. Stay charged! Perfect for all Brazil travelers. June 11, 2015 What a lifesaver! Business or multi travelers may want to purchase a splitter which allows even more power for all of your devices. With my standard US 3-way splitter attached, we have 5 perfectly useable outlets so that all of our devices are fully charged. This was an excellent purchase. Do not hesitate to buy. I was able to style my hair while charging my laptop, work phone and our personal devices. I used my Prime service and received the adapters in no time. ... in my hotel in Sao Paulo and is a fantastic deal for a 3-pack April 7, 2015 Worked perfectly in my hotel in Sao Paulo and is a fantastic deal for a 3-pack. Having multiple adapters made my life so much easier. I was able to work on my computer while charging my other electronics at the same time and not worry about taking up USB ports on my computer or cluttering up the desk with things I wasn't using. | 53% This is the ONE. You'll never need another converter/adaptor to travel! October 16, 2017 Travelled with this product to Greece, Germany, and Austria. It worked perfectly and none of US plug items I used it with got fried or damaged as with others I've used in the past.I charged my iPhone with it, used it for my hair dryer, hair straightener, and small travel clothes iron. Very easy to use, compact (bulky item, but compact in the sense that it has all the adaptors in one place), and reliable. Just slide forward the tab for the country you're in and plug into the wall. I'm glad I invested the money as I travel often and don't want separate adaptors. I would recommend keeping the zipped travel pouch it comes with to keep it in good condition. Great Travel Converter (not Adapter) September 29, 2017 Used this in Israel daily! Great converter! A little heavy but it was exactly what I needed. I kept buying adapters when I really needed a converter which converted my hair dryer from US power to the Israel power requirements. This is the only converter you'll ever need! July 9, 2017 What a GREAT device! I took this to England and Scotland with absolutely no problems. It worked like a charm. I bought it thinking I'd be bringing my hair dryer, but instead, I saved room in my luggage and used the hairdryers in each of the hotels, so I can't comment on using the hair dryer function. However, if you do, they make it very clear in the packaging to be sure you're using the proper setting on the converter for the hair dryer. All other devices use the other setting. I ended us using the converter for my laptop mostly because my laptop has several USB ports, which allowed me to charge my iPhone, my friend's Android phone, and a speaker I used for my laptop all at once. Also, I love that it's just this one converter, one item; just the one device without having to have other attachments for each country. I highly recommend it! (P.S. I was so tired when I arrived in London, flying overnight from LA, that I couldn't figure out what I was doing wrong to get the device to plug into the wall, so I wrote to their customer support. I eventually figured it out when finally looking at the enclosed easy-to-follow instruction sheet, but they replied very quickly, too!) The pictures below are to let you know that if you travel to the UK, even after you plug in the converter, notice on the wall plug that you have to flip that switch to "on" as well. The product is a joke June 3, 2017 This product is a joke. The hairdryer overheats like it will explode. It does not deliver the promised output. Now I am stuck with this product oversees without a converter.**** UPDATE ****After I had difficulties with the product not working properly, I was contacted by the customer service offering a resolution for the problem. I really appreciate their initiative to correct the problem. Great Product! June 1, 2017 I bought this to use as a converter for my hair straightener and curling iron while on a European cruise. It worked perfectly; no problems. I have already recommended this to two friends of mine who also will be travelling internationally. I like the fact that it has 4 different plugs for different countries, and you can also use it as an adapter or a converter. Compact, functional, well made adapter step-down converter April 22, 2017 Well made, well packaged, comes with its own small pouch. My wife used his for her travel to China to power her hair straightener and dryers. It worked like a charm. It has two modes: adapter (which allows you to plug into any socket, but doesn't change the voltage), and converter mode (which additionally allows you to step down from 220-240V to US 110V). The adapter "mode" is really converter mode turned off.My wife quite impressed by the retractable adapter plugs; each is neatly labeled by country making it easy to deploy by sliding it out. When done, the adapter can be retracted back. While this does make the device a handful, it makes the whole contraption quite compact and easy to travel with (no missing / left behind pieces).It does not have any USB ports and fits only one appliance at a time, but that's what it's designed to do at this price point. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Four Star Reviews: | 15% Note for cell phone users September 7, 2017 IF you are looking to charge your cell phone/tablet note that most modern devices are 220v/110v compatible. A cheap plug adapter for your existing charger may be all you need. The small print on the wall plug part will confirm. We added a $20 6 port USB charger (also 220/110) and kept the i-phone and android devices happy all at once. This converter is fine if you need to run grandpa's old nose hair trimmer, but the fan running all the time means you may not want to leave it on at night. Good for extended travel, and when you need something more than using USB ports from your laptops. March 9, 2017 Worked perfectly on a visit to CH/Switzerland; allowed us to keep my family's 3 iPhone's charged (via the 4 available USB ports), and still left 3 USA plugs available for other uses.It has a fan, ostensibly to ensure the built-in transformer is kept cool; so it is somewhat noisy. We kept it out of the bedroom for that reason.When using the non-USB ports, you should be paying attention to the Wattage consumption of everything plugged-in to this unit; probably not a good idea to use with high-wattage things, like hair-dryers. Anything using USB ports is safe, as a general rule. This was not an issue for me. Perfect when traveling with many devices April 25, 2016 Recently took this on a trip to Ireland, and what we found is that there were precious few outlets in our hotel rooms, so having this (which utilizes a single outlet) rather than everyone each packing handfuls of adapter plugs to charge all their devices was definitely a benefit. Having all those USB ports for charging phones and tablets especially kept everyone in the family happy. This unit might be a bit too much bulk for a solo traveler, but for a business traveler carrying a lot electronics, or a family with many devices, this item definitely meets the need. Took care of our electronics with no problems. Does'nt work with straight irons, nor hair dryers. August 7, 2015 This was my second attempt at a converter. The first one was the Rockstone Power 500 Watt Heavy Duty Step Up/Step Down converter. My wife took one look at it, and said "You've GOT TO BE KIDDING". Its bigger, and heavier than this converter, but it probably would have handled her straight iron, while this one didn't.But, this one is lighter, and converts 220 or 240 50 Hz power to 110 60 Hz power, and the other one's output frequency will be the same as its input frequency, so the 110 60Hz appliances will draw more power at 110 50 Hz, and the 220 50Hz appliances will draw less power at 60 Hz.I tried it out for the first time at our first hotel in Paris. We were in the lobby, and my wife needed her phone charged. Before I plugged it in, I said "Well, if the power in this hotel goes out, we'll know why", but it plugged in and turned on with no problems.It has 4 built in USB charging ports, 2 are 2.4 Amp, and two are 1.2 Amp. There was a little piece of metal somewhat blocking one of the higher power ports, but I was able to bend it out of the way. As far as I could tell, all four of the ports work fine.All three 110 V AC outlets worked fine, except with my wife's 35 Watt Straight Iron. I use a timer to make sure our iPhones don't overcharge, and it seemed to keep perfect time when plugged into the converter. I also brought a clock radio with ambient sounds that I use to mask my tinnitus at night. I didn't need the sounds much because the converter makes a soft buzz when its on that perfectly masks the noise in my ears. And, the buzz didn't seem to bother my wife, either. She says my normal masking sounds bother her.I'm giving it four stars because it didn't support my wife's 35 Watt Flat Iron. The sockets all worked for our electronics with no problems, before and after trying the flat iron in each of them, and her flat iron works fine on 110 V 60 Hz wall power.Edit: 22 Sept 2015I didn't notice the disclaimer about not using the adapter with flat irons and hair dryers when I ordered this. I remember scouring the product information, and if I remember correctly, it said it would work; especially since my wife's flat iron is only 35 Watts.I guess we were lucky, as the iron didn't even power on when we tried it. Not even a light. I'm glad it didn't draw enough current to ruin it, as others have reported. I'm leaving the review at 4 stars because I'm rating it wrt the original product description.As a side note, the hotel blow dryers barely blow any air. I think you'd be better off going to a department or drug store and getting a cheap blow dryer and flat iron that runs on local current. Fan and LED can be annoying August 4, 2015 I took this portable 6A Max Travel Adapter and Power Converter on a 2 week trip to Europe. This was my first trip overseas and I spent a long time trying to make sure it was the right adapter and power rating. Well, the "europlug" adapter as they call it, fits in F, E, L, C, J plug types and no adapter is needed. I traveled to Italy, Austria, Czech Republic, and Greece and was able to use this adapter in all countries with no problems. I made sure to let my girlfriend plug it in first to make sure it worked.The fan is pretty noisy, which caused me to deduct a star. The LED power indicator is also pretty bright which can cause a problem at night especially in hostels where there is usually a plug right by your head when you sleep.Bring your US adapter as well so you can still use this device when you're stateside and also to charge any euro-devices for your new friends if they didn't bring a charger!I also have charged my iPhone 5 through the 1A USB port with no problem.Remember, this steps down the Europe wall voltage from 240V to 110V in case you have any electronics that aren't rated for higher than 110V. This will make it safe if you aren't sure. Worked in Paris, France; Florence, Italy; the Netherlands, Kenya, China, Scotland, U.K. April 6, 2015 I've read other reviews before purchasing this adapter and converter. I've considered other models/manufacturers until I was persuaded to try this partcular one for the price, small footprint, and prior positive reviews. My impressions from using this converter/adapter:The humming sound:Some reviewers had posted about the humming noise from the fan when the adapter is operational. The unit gets warm when it operates; hence, the need for the fan to cool the internal components. Let me say that there will be a high pitch humming sound audible from a distance of about a foot to 2 feet. I've had the unit running overnight without problems and without hearing the humming sound across the room.Operation/Performance:I had used the converter on a trip to Florence in March and worked flawlessly. Turned the power button on and I was able to charged my laptop, ipod. Didn't have a mobile phone to charge but I suppose it would have worked, as well. I've only had to use one of the adapter plugs in Italy.Size/Footprint/Weight:The unit is adequately sized. I estimate it to weigh about 1.25 lbs. The dimensions were not terribly large; it fit in my carry-on, tucked on top of the clothes.Improvements:Although I am happy with the converter, there are always some room for improvements: the power cord could have been designed better (it was a nuisance to fold back into the cardboard case). Also, a sturdy carrying case would have been a nice addition for which I would gladly pay for.Overall, for the price and performance, I am very happy with the purchase which I'll bring along on future trips.Ciao, Italia. | 12% Works for UK hotels and US chargers July 8, 2017 Pretty no thrills adapter that fit in to all outlets tried in the UK and took US power adapters and the three received worked the entire time while in the UK. Bestek World wide plug for the traveller June 27, 2017 Worked well when in Europe and connected to all the strange plugs there as well as Australia. Good value Good value and solid build quality May 31, 2017 I like that these are compact and pack in my suitcase easily. Also, with the universal female plug they will accept my devices from the UK, Hong Kong and the US.That they have a grounding pin is a twofold bonus. Number one: unlike the US which has a shortage of grounded sockets, it's the standard in Australia and NZ, which means that any grounded devices you own will actually be grounded. Number two: even if your device doesn't require a ground pin, the extra point of attachment makes the adapter far less likely to fall out of the wall (especially with some of those heavy transformer plugs).All said, for under three dollars a piece it's easy for me to recommend these also from a value standpoint. Great product except for one minor issue. July 4, 2016 I'm soon traveling to multiple countries with a wide variety of electrical outlets. This set seems to cover them all, plus some. Some of the adaptors were marked to identify what country they would work in. It would have been more helpful, if all of them would have been labeled, and a chart enclosed telling you which adaptor works where. I found a great chart on line and had to physically match the adaptor to the online adaptor pictures. Time consuming and open to errors. Even with this minor set back, I love my Bestek converter and adaptors. Worked, no issues. June 28, 2016 I purchased these for a trip to Norway and they all worked out well. I used my standard USA plugs with no issues. I like the 3 pack- I went with a friend and we each had our own packed in our own luggage and then a spare one to put in one of our carry on bags just in case something happened whit the luggage. I imagine the value would be good for families where each person get their own or for someone with many electronics that need to be utilized/charged at once. They're pretty light weight so even in the situation of backpacking they'd be a good purchase. does not include swiss style December 17, 2015 used these along with a cheap power strip and worked fine in europe but note the 8-pack doesn't include swiss adapter...the similar-looking one is for brazil; purchasing a single in switzerland will run around 30-50 sw franc. some swiss hotels will also have german style outlets on wall, so look on both sides of bed. another option is to tap into usb port on tv.one big heads-up in general is that not all modern electronic devices can handle euro's 220v. on day one, a battery charger and one usb charger fried in england. one was not rated for 220v, the other was. | 7% Four Stars September 29, 2017 Worked perfectly. Documentation could have been more detailed. Storage case an unexpected plus. Great but needs USB port September 23, 2017 Took it to Europe and worked great. Would have been nice to have USB port included. Four Stars August 30, 2017 This did not work for me. Supplier did follow up my complaint and offer to refund/repair/replace item. Good to see they are monitoring feedback! Although I had a problem, the fact that they have followed this up makes me more inclined to do business with them in the future! It worked well for us in Italy, although in ... May 31, 2017 It worked well for us in Italy, although in the end I did not require the step-down portion to run the shaver. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Three Star Reviews: | 7% Good international travel power strip June 29, 2017 I bought this to power a small coffee maker, but it wont handle it. Its amps are adequate, but the power draw (Watts) is not enough. Itll be good for other device applications. After awhile i noticed the internal fan will get really loud... like its bearings are bad. All in all, a great converter/strip. this product works fine. It comes with all the plug adapters I ... December 7, 2016 The positive: Functionally, this product works fine. It comes with all the plug adapters I need and it converts 220V to 110V so I can use non-universal power supply devices. The four USB ports are welcome and work well and I like having a separate off/on switch. It is fairly light.The negative: This is a very noisy device. It emits a constant, annoying buzzing sound that varies in intensity with the load. I think it's the fan, though it could be a combination of fan & transformer. When I plug a projector into my laptop, the load increases and the noise increases. It's loader than the fan for the projector.The neutral. This provides three US power outlets which is a big plus when traveling. The cost is that the device, while light, is bigger than a simple plug adapter, and is hard to just "slip in" to an already crowded laptop case. I think the trade-off of space for functionality is worth it, and I pack this with my clothes. ... will start by saying that this product worked just fine for me November 30, 2016 I will start by saying that this product worked just fine for me. I have other volt converters, but if I am just going to another country quick, I will take this along for the purpose of charging my phone and tablets and such. Low power stuff. Really I use this as a piece of mind as I know I can charge my devices on 220v, but I like that it has a fuse and other safety features. As other reviews have mentioned, I am a little annoyed with the fan that is in this particular converter (I did know of the fan when I purchased). The smaller the fan, the louder the noise. So there is some noise which could be disturbing to others. Personally, with such a low converter wattage max, I don't think the fan is necessary as I am sure it can stay cool without it. My larger ones are just bricks with no fan and they work fine. I placed the converter in the other room and couldn't hear it so it was not a nuisance, but I can see how some are annoyed by hearing the noise myself. I may just crack the case open and either remove the fan or cut the power to it. Depends. Otherwise I am happy with the product and will keep using it on my trips for my small stuff that mostly uses the USB ports anyways. The good: it works well with various electronic January 20, 2016 Made the purchase for my UK trip. The good: it works well with various electronic, including my laptop and other attachments associated with my work, (EXCEPT for my wife's blow-dryer & curl iron) which require more power(amps). I bought her a separate one at the airport, expensive but works, but have doubt if that would last. USB ports charge really quick. The bad: noise, very noisy with the fan in exhausting the heat. Not enough power to support blow dry and such. Annoyingly loud December 17, 2015 I went to Europe for two weeks, and this thing is loud. The first few days of my trip, I had to take naps to fight off the Jet Lag. If I was charging anything, I had to move this thing into the bathroom because it was that bad. The fan whines terribly.The device worked great, but the noise was so bad!!!In some hotels I didn't have an outlet in the bathroom, so I just had to suffer.I'm not sure if maybe mine was defective, or not...but I am not a fan. I'd give it less stars, but it worked great other than the terrible noise it made. Good but noisy November 19, 2015 This looked like the perfect answer to the delimma of international travel with a plethora of electronic gadgets. It has two US grounded power outlets, and 4 USB outlets for phone, tablet, watch, and kindle into a small box with an extension cord to the wall.The native European plug-in is supplemented by UK, Australia, and US adapters. What could be better? Unfortunately, the first time I plugged it in and turned it on, the problem became evident. This unit has a fan. A noisy fan. Maybe it won't bother some users, but listening to it in my hotel room night after night made me want to throw this awful device out the window just to get some sleep. I did find ways to muffle the sound enough to get thru the trip to Europe, but this little gadget won't make the next trip with me. Not recommended for anyone with intact hearing. Ok for anyone who can turn off their hearing aids. | 4% Decent, but could be better March 22, 2017 These are good -- the only small drawback is that they are too light. An iPhone plug is too heavy for and will pull them out of the wall. Which plug is which?? November 6, 2016 Really confused...all the plugs were included, but they are coded with initials only-its impossible to tell localities for the individual plugs, since there were no instructions/key to describe. May be more of a hassle to have to bring all of them on an overseas trip to see which fits! They all came packaged nicely in a box set and are good quality June 26, 2016 They all came packaged nicely in a box set and are good quality. However, they labeled the plugs as "BR", "IT", "JP", etc. instead of C, E/U, etc. I don't mind the country guide, but I'm going to a rather obscure country next week that isn't represented in their system, so I have to do extra work to figure out which one is which to avoid taking them all and doing trial/error. Seems like kind of a stupid error on their part. The adapters work pretty well and didn't cause any electrical issues June 18, 2016 The adapters work pretty well and didn't cause any electrical issues. The only problem I had is that they did not always still in the plug very well at times. They were too loose and would fall out if I even wiggled my phone while it was plugged in. However, that wasn't an issue I had everywhere and was not that big of a deal given how good of a deal these were | 4% Doesn't work August 24, 2017 The converter doesn't work in Singapore. I used my Panasonic hair dryer NA 96, it was blowing smoke and the wind speed varied a lot. I am worried that my hair dryer is burnt because of this converter.P.S. The customer representative Ann contacted me about this issue and gave me the refund. Although the product might be not that good, the service is satisfactory. Use only for hair dryers! Blew my Nespresso! June 8, 2017 This was the only converter I found that had enough wattage for my 1800w nespresso machine! Ordered it from overseas and it instantly blew it the second I plugged it in! I wanna cry! It looks nice and sophisticated but doesn't work!!! Be careful :(((Update: Customer Service reached out to me and was concerned and professional, they fully refunded me for the inconvinence and told me this device is only intended for hair dryers. Updating my stars for customer service and just beware as to not use for major appliances! Not awful, not great. May 22, 2017 It did convert the voltage, but seemed to lower the power of the blow dryer too. It would suddenly blow cool air and was not very effective in drying my hair in a timely manner. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

Two Star Reviews: | 5% Worked great for the first 5 days of our vacation then it died September 19, 2017 This travel adapter set was exactly what we needed for our trip from the US to Italy, Croatia, Montenegro, and Greece. It had enough USB ports and power plugs to charge a camera battery, two fitbits, two mobile phones, and to run a CPAP machine. The zipper pouch was handy and held everything together without any wasted space. Unfortunately, the adapter only worked for the first 5 days of our 2-week vacation and then the operational light changed from green to red. At first when the light changed, the power plugs no longer worked but the USB ports still worked. We followed the directions to turn the unit off and back on, and even unplugged it and plugged it back in, and when we turned it on again we heard a loud pop and smelled a burned electrical smell. Then nothing worked. This unit would have definitely been worth the purchase if it lasted our entire trip, even with the humming/fan sound that other reviewers have mentioned, which bothered my husband more than me. We might have just gotten a faulty unit because it looks like there are so many other positive reviews for this item. It really was handy while it lasted. Fortunately Amazon has offered a refund. I wouldn't hesitate to buy another one and try again. Charges very slowly when used with phones and portable chargers July 10, 2017 I used this product while staying in Italy for two weeks. It worked, however, not as I hoped. I plugged in my cell phone and portable charger late one night and when I woke up the next morning, the phone was only at 85% and the portable charger was not yet halfway charged. Luckily, I had two portable chargers so I would alternate charging them all day in the room while I was our sightseeing. It was fortunate I had that luxury. At home, my phone reaches 85% in less than an hour. So, I was really surprised by how slow this thing works. It is also fairly loud. It sounds as if there is a cooling fan running as soon as you turn it on and made it difficult to fall asleep a couple of nights. Because I planned in advance with this purchase, by the time I returned to the US, my return date had passed or I would definitely have sent it back! My recommendation -- pass on this brand. TOO LOUD July 5, 2017 I don't know if there's any variance in the product, but I definitely got a "loud hum" version. I will not use this while sleeping due to its volume, which is very disappointing. I got it for traveling abroad and use it to charge my laptop and portable batteries while I'm out of the room, then charge my devices from my laptop and batteries when I'm in the room. but would not by again because of the very annoying noise mostly August 18, 2016 It sort of worked out in Italy, but would not by again because of the very annoying noise mostly. Couldn't sleep at all with it closer than 8 feet (if hotels had fans it wouldn't be so bad). Second I would get one that can at least power my wife's 400 watt hair iron. Told her to check that everything was either under 200 or worked on 220v so plug adapter would work. She didn't check her iron. Oh, and don't get cheap plug adapters for Italy, those outlets need a plug like this until to safe and reliable. breaking after 3 months July 18, 2016 As a veteran electrician who went through advanced fire fighting school, this thing hasn't caught fire, tried to burn down my house, or seems like a major electrical hazard, so I don't think it deserves a one star. But, as someone who custom builds computers, the fan on this thing is extremely noisy, for what this thing does, there is no need for this high pitched noise to be so audible that I can hear it across the room through my noise cancelling headphones while I'm just trying to charge up my ipod before going to the gym. It is a noise that just makes you seem like your ears are ringing, but they aren't, its just this poorly designed extension cord's fan running.I am writing this review because I bought this product in April, it is already failing to work in July. This is a 50 dollar product, this thing should last for years. I recently have been using it as part of my daily routine to charge my usb products such as my iphone, and that is when it just stopped working. I woke up to find the items I left charging to be near empty charge. I changed the usb slots, and reseated the plugs into different slots and they worked after that. So that means the usb ports are fried already after .. what? 3 months? Noisy unit - enough to not use unless really needed May 22, 2016 I am writing this so that it may benefit others who get attracted to its features. I tried using this unit when in India to run my portable speakers, charge my phone (USB), and run my US landline handset. While the system provides power to the above electronics, it produces a high pitched noise at all times - making it impossible to use with speakers, or while sleeping, or in general when close to you. So it is pretty much useless box - I use one of the heavy black box inverters instead.To answer an obvious set of questions - why did you not return it / why did you not test it - I travelled back way outside my 30 day window; and I could not test it in US.I have given it two stars since it provides power (1 star) and the USB feature is cool (second star) | 2% Will not hold anything plugged into this adapter. July 10, 2017 I cannot express how bad this adapter sucks. It barely holds onto anything that is plugged into it. 2 different laptops, cell phones, Anker USB charger, nothing will hold. If you look at it sideways, anything plugged in will fall out. Not very dependable! May 26, 2017 These worked fine for a few days, then one stopped working entirely!!! Not What I Expected October 26, 2016 Traveled throughout Italy and thought the 3 pack would be all I needed.Unfortunately, the only outlet that these adapters would fit it was an appliance,Had to unplug the refrigerator each time I needed to charge anything and could only use one adapter at a time.Although it was a pain, I got by. To make your life easier (at least in Italy), purchase the adapters that have the smaller diameter prongs. As soon as we arrived in Brasil, one of ... August 24, 2016 As soon as we arrived in Brasil, one of the plugs stopped working almost immediately, and the other was intermittent if it would charge or not - basically, only one of the three was reliable to any degree. It turned into a hassle just to charge phones and my laptop. I was told that these would work in Brazil and ... November 22, 2015 I was told that these would work in Brazil and found that they only worked in a few cities. They didn't work in Rio, but did work on Ilha Grande and in Paraty. | 7% I would not recommend this. October 14, 2017 Purchased this to use in Ireland. The converter was to wide and would not fit properly in the plug. I was lucky because the Hotel we stayed in had a converter I used. I would not recommend this. It's a good quality build product May 27, 2017 It's a good quality build product, but not work for my son nebulizer machine which does not have any electronic control device, just a pump. I'm returning it. Quality of material seem good but extremely fiddly May 12, 2017 Quality of material seem good but extremely fiddly, not much use when you are travelling and on the go. 2000W which WON'T power 220W in transformer mode April 26, 2017 Bought to power a 220W hair straightener in Europe. The hair straightener would not stay powered up even though other low watt devices worked ok. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |

One Star Reviews: | 12% It works but very poorly made! September 21, 2017 I HATE this dumb thing! I have to use it since I'm in Peru and need it, but the fan is sooo loud and soooo extremely annoying. I either lock the dumb thing in the bathroom in the shower (dry of course) so I can't hear it, or play loud music while it is on. Of course in Peru I'm living in a one room apartment so it's hard to get away from the sound. If I didn't need to to protect my laptop I would have thrown the thing against the wall already. Don't by this piece of crap unless your deaf or dead then you may not mind it. Never worked at all August 1, 2017 Was a total waste of money. Got to Scotland and plugged it in and all it would do was blink the green light. The green light never came on solid and could not get any electricity through it at all. Luckily a friend that came with us had an additional converter that we could use and it was a lot less than what this product cost. Maybe I got a dude but it was a total disappointment. Product does NOT work July 18, 2017 Product does not work, nor do the accessory pieces that you must by separately. When contacting customer service, they referred me to the FAQ page of their ad. No help at all. The convertor would not plug into the adaptors provided with it, nor the one's we purchased separately. The plug was too small for the adaptors and fell right out when plugged in. Very poor customer service in my opinion. I will be sending this product back and would definitely not recommend it. One Star March 31, 2017 The device has a fan or something that is annoyingly loud. I could not sleep with it on. Fan noise kills this product (ANNOYING) June 26, 2016 The noise of the fan in this product makes it practicably unusable to charge devices overnight in a hotel room. Even ear plugs did not completely cover up the noise. I used it during a 7 night stay in Frankfurt, Germany for a business trip and ended up having to charge my phone, tablet and laptop as much as possible before going to sleep and then plug it again in the morning while I got ready to head out for another day's work. In one word: Annoying. | 6% Bad construction, will fall apart. August 3, 2017 I bought this for a trip to Amsterdam. It fell apart when I tried to remove it from the wall after I used it the first time. Luckily it was easy to put back together, but I avoided using it the rest of the trip. Fire danger warning!! June 1, 2017 Dangerous item. When I plugged in my phone charger to this adapter on my trip to Australia it made a loud pop and burned the adapter plug and my phone charger and blew out the socket for that electrical outlet in the people's home I was staying. Needless to say I did not even try the other two and felt horrible this happened in their home. Horrible quality May 18, 2017 These things are horrible. Only two worked and after the first use of one of those two, only one worked. I was traveling abroad and threw the ones that didn't work away. Not only was I disappointed, but I was also inconvenienced my entire trip due to the fact that I could only use one electronic item at a time. Awful! Very disappointed May 17, 2017 Awful!!! I bought those so I could use it on a trip to Brazil... and only one of the three worked. I just came back from the trip and came here to return, and of course the return window is closed... however, I JUST came back and wouldn't have know to return before since I expected these to work.That's the price you pay for buying cheap stuff... Pack Light, Don't Pack Dumb January 1, 2017 This was most upsetting because this product stopped working when I was on the trip. Tried to troubleshoot it, but there is no question about it one stopped working and then another leaving me with one. And because I wasn't home there was no way for me to return it so now the least I could do for my fellow man is spread the word. Wrong product delivered October 19, 2015 I ordered 3 Australia to US adapters and received 3 US to Australia adapters. Photos and description were for Australia to US conversion. Items not eligible for return either. Not what I needed. | 29% do not buy this! November 2, 2017 Bought this to take to Africa with me as I knew I would need to work on laptop and obviously charge phone. Well it not only died on the first week of vacation but also killed my phone charger. Caused complete stress and chaos. Total waste of money. I had to borrow my friends adapter to charge a small battery then plug that into my laptop since it couldn't be plugged in without a converter. Seriously terrible experience while on vacation. Blew Out Expensive Hair Appliances November 1, 2017 Very frustrated with this product. I purchased it to use during my semester abroad in Italy and it does not work. After plugging it in, it blew out both my expensive hairdryer and hair straightener. Neither will turn on now. In addition, it is a bulky converter that does not have a three-prong Italian extension. In order to use it in Italy, you must plug it into an adapter, then plug the adapter into the wall. Would not recommend. Was told this one was the best --- What a joke October 30, 2017 My daughter is in South Africa and her hair dryer staying smoking then the adaptor just blew.. SO now she has no adaptor. She is currently trying to find one their. Was told this one was the best --- What a joke... Looks at lots more adaptors before buying this one for much cheaper, but if it was going to work for approx. a month a blow -- I should have went with the cheaper one. VERY UNHAPPY-- and will never purchase for again. Do Not Recommend for Travel from US to Europe October 7, 2017 I took this to Scotland and after using it according to its instructions, it ruined both my breast pump and Chi straightening iron making my trip a very difficult one. I would not recommend purchasing this if you need a converter. I could not get it to plug into the wall ??? Strange design ... September 24, 2017 Maybe I just don't get it but this thing does not work. I took it to Ireland and when I tried to plug it in the piece in the middle that extends prevents me from plugging it in. I like to think I am a pretty smart guy but I could not figure it out. Don`t buy!!! September 21, 2017 Not working. I bough this converter so i can use it with my steamer when travelling but i just wasted the money. | 0% There are no reviews yet | 0% There are no reviews yet |
