Ceptics World Travel Adapter Kit 2 USB-A, USB-C US Outlets, 20W/QC 18W Power Delivery, Surge Protection, SWADAPT Compatible for Europe, UK, China, Australia, Japan Perfect Laptop (WPS-5B)

I have been traveling for years and have acquired a drawerful of random power adapters, phone service adapters, airline adapters, etc. And frankly, it is a pain to sort through this mess each time I head out to a new location since most of them are not labeled appropriately and some countries have even modified their standards since I started traveling a million years ago. Time to dump the drawer out and start over. I was looking for a kit that had as many countries represented as possible and which had the recepticles labeled appropriately. And ideally was not too bulky. And this is the kit that I chose. I'll be honest and say that the main unit feels a bit lightweight and maybe even slightly cheaply made, and I was concerned that it might overheat or fall apart or do something stupid in the middle of my travels. But after several weeks crawling around Africa and plugging into every strange receptacle possible, it has been worry free and has worked perfectly. My initial thoughts of potentially cheap construction seem to be unfounded. It just happens to be lightweight plastic casing, is all. (at least so far. time will tell) In any case, the handful of interchangeable plugs that came with it were not sufficient, so I also purchased an expansion pack. Oddly, you can't easily pick and choose between what standards you require (I can't seem to just purchase a plug for the South Africa plug size, for instance). It seems that you have to buy a full collection to get the ones that you want. At least that's how I found it during my shopping experience. Maybe this will change. Probably just a marketing opportunity for them at this point. Sell more stuff and make more money. Regardless, I want as many plugs as I can get for my wide ranging trekking, so I was happy to get the larger expansion pack. Strangely, not all of the plugs in the expansion were marked consistently with numbers and country codes. I found that I had to utilize the enclosed paper documentation as a reference and use my own label machine to label each and every plug in order to be consistent and accurate. This is an odd oversight by the company that I don't understand. However, I was able to rectify it for my own self and you may want to do the same. But this may point to inconsistencies elsewhere that I haven't discovered yet. So buyer beware. Despite the above, I did indeed find the device to work flawlessly for me in many different countries. And having both sizes of USB slots available was very helpful as I still have the old style USB cables for certain items and my phone uses the USB-C standard. Having two of each of those USB slots was a lifesaver with all of the charging that I have to do between all of my equipment on the road. Based on my month of travel, I give this unit a high rating and consider it worth the cost. But as mentioned above, this is early days and time will tell. If anything happens to the negative, I will come back and update this review.

I used this on a weeklong trip to Romania via Poland with no issues plugging in various dual-voltage devices. What sold me on this system was that, contrary to earlier reviews, I found additional adapter plugs available for it available individually. In particular, I was looking for Type N plugs to use on future trips to Brazil because, while I know Type C plugs will work in Type N (and Type F) receptacles, it would be foolish to knowingly forego grounding and surge protection for valuable devices. The Type F plug worked great for this in Romania and Poland. I was surprised to find that Ceptics offered an extension cord as one of the adapter options, which, in turn, accepts their adapters. This means that you can place the main adapter body on a tabletop and run the extension cord to a nearby receptacle, rather than leave the brick on the wall. While more robust plugs, like Type F, are well-suited to supporting large and heavy bricks, others, like Type C, are not. Plus, this keeps the USB ports, etc. within easy reach when receptacles are inconveniently located. Finally, the fact that this system comes with adapter plugs for Types A and B means that you can use this system for both international and domestic travel, especially useful if you have bought the aforementioned extension cord.

I travel to Europe almost every year. This was the BEST adapter I have ever used. It was easy to change between countries, it always worked, and it has enough USB ports. The only thing I would change is to take two with me the next time so my partner has a dedicated one for his CPAP machine. We used adapter with a laptop, two phones, Kindle, CPAP, and a few other devices. It was awesome.

The product is quality in a compact form. The adapter allowed for using USB cables to charge the phones and a PowerBank while plugging in other items. Zero issues using this adapter with four items at one time. The attached USB cable was a bonus that worked well. Items seemed to charge quickly-no different than if we were charging at home. We also appreciated the surge protector element in the adapter. The included travel pouch made it easy to toss in the personal item bag and pull out as needed. With all the plug adapters, you are able to use anywhere you travel and even at home.

It felt like good quality, but was too big and heavy for my purposes. I’m doing a European hut to hut hike and need to have things small and light weight so I went with the Anker. Plus, I have to say I didn’t love the idea of having to know which adapter(s) to bring with me (and possibly lose them) in case I went to various countries.

Extra plug in’s great help

this is so great for all countries I visitied

This adapter is more robust than most of the other travel adapters you will see in your searches. With two outlets, two types of USB ports, and a number of global plugs, this adapter is sufficient to keep all your frequently used devices powered at the same time, no matter where you travel. Note: Always check device compatibility before using, as this is a global adapter and does not convert electricity. Also, when looking at adapters verify how much power they can carry. Not all adapters are equal.
