220v to 110v Travel Voltage Converter

I’ve bought this type of converter several times for over seas travel and burned up my hairdryer and curling iron. This converter actually works! I used it in Africa and in the UK. I did have to buy another end that plugs into the wall for Africa, but that was no big deal (got it at the airport in Johannesburg). It worked with my hairdryer and my curling iron with no issue. It has plenty of usb and usb-c charging ports. 100% recommendation this converter.

This is a great power converter. I use to lose at least one electrical item on each overseas trip, because I did not know, which voltage each appliance needed. I love the fact that this converter has little pictures to guide you to the right socket to use for each of my electrical items. The converter has worked great on every trip. It also has multiple USB and USB-C ports for charging my Apple watch and phone. I do wish the converter had one more USB-C port.

The product itself and the packaging seemed higher quality than I was expecting. I bought this for two reasons - 1) it could power a hair dryer (with mechanical switch), and 2) it could convert the 220v to 110v for our toothbrush charger. I tested it in the US and it was able to run the hair dryer no problem. When we got to Europe and I tried, the hair dryer would not work in either of the converter ports even though our hair dryer has a mechanical switch. Despite this was a main reason I bought it, it turned out OK since our hotel provided a hair dryer. So then I needed to charge my toothbrush which worked great the first time. By the end of our trip, I needed to charge again, however, the toothbrush wouldn't charge. Not a big deal since I could still brush my teeth the old fashioned way. Anyways, when we got home and I tried my toothbrush charger at home, it no longer worked. This device fried my toothbrush charger. Absolutely would recommend NOT buying this product.

Don’t pay attention to any of the negative reviews. If you need a different adapter for Europe to add on, that’s simple. As far as it frying any appliances or your phone simply pay attention to the instructions. We just got back from Germany and it worked wonderfully. You just gotta know which one you’re plugging it into and what your item can take in terms of voltage.

I really should have paid more attention to the photos, which show 4 plugs, for socket types A, G, I and L. You could make the case that I only have myself to blame for buying this travel voltage converter. However, the product description *explicitly* states under Plug Format that it comes with 5 plug types, "Type A, E/F, G, I, L". You can scroll up and read it for yourself. However, it does *not* come with an E/F plug, which is used almost everywhere in Europe & Russia, except for the UK & Ireland. So this adapter will very probably *not* work in: Albania, Andorra, Angola, Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Bosnia & Herzegovina, Bulgaria, Cape Verde, Chad, Croatia, Egypt, Eritrea, Estonia, Finland, Georgia, Germany, Greece, Guinea, Guinea-Bissau, Hungary, Iceland, Indonesia, Iran, Jordan, Kazakhstan, Korea, Kyrgyzstan, Laos, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Macedonia, Mauritania, Moldova, Montenegro, Netherlands, Netherlands Antilles, New Caledonia, Niger, Norway, Paraguay, Portugal, Romania, Russia, San Marino, Sao Tom & Principe, Serbia, Slovenia, Spain, Suriname, Sweden, Tajikistan, Turkey, Turkmenistan, Ukraine, Uzbekistan and Vietnam. But it *does* have an "L" plug, which is only used in Italy and Chile. Silly me, like so many Americans I'm going to France so this adapter is completely useless for my needs.

Excelente para viajes muy bueno y práctico

Excellent and vital piece of equipment for European travel using US electronics. Multiple plugs are a great addition for charging all hand held devices and electronics. Recommended.

We took this to South Africa and Zimbabwe, and it worked great. We never had to worry about what type of wall socket our accommodations had and it had no issues running my wife's hair dryer and curling thing. The USB ports are a bonus, meaning we didn't need to bring as many USB power blocks with us.

Very disappointed. I bought this specially to be able to use my hair straightener and hair dryer in Dubai, and it doesn’t work! The safety button on my hair tools jumps right away when I plug it in!!!! It’s not working. Unfortunately I was gone right when it was delivered and only tried to use it today, and it shows the return window is closed. What a waste of money!! Shame on the seller for this scam!

Doesn’t work, blew up a KitchenAid blender in the process
