Ceptics European Travel Voltage Converter, 200W Adapter for Curling Iron, Straightener, Charger, Step Down World Power Plug - 4 USB PD 18W Fast Charging - SWadApt Compatible - Type C, E/F, G Included

This device takes international voltage (typically 220 volt) and translates it into American voltage (110 volt) power. That step-down can cause some issues with things that short directly (hair driers, waffle irons) so be aware that it only works correctly on things that need power not creates heat.

Took this with me to Italy. I read before I went that others had trouble with their hair dryers not working. I had no trouble at all with this voltage converter. I loved the fact that I could charge my IPhone, IPad, portable power bank and AirPods all at one time. The charging was fast. I plugged it in at night before I went to bed, when I woke up in the morning everything was ready to go. I would definitely recommend buying this product to anyone traveling overseas. With all of the different converters it is definitely a great bargain.

Worked perfect in the Philippines. Rugged and all the adapters you need

I purchased the travel power converter for a trip my husband and I recently took to Argentina. The packaging is good, coming in a faux velvet bag we were able to use for travel. Specifically I made this purchase for my husband’s sleep machine he needs for his sleep apnea. It worked perfectly and with its 3 USB ports, we were also able to charge our phones and tablet at the same time as the sleep machine. I did use it with my curling iron and it also worked very well. It did not work for my straight iron. Not sure why. The unit is marked with an area to use electric hair styling tools. The unit comes with several adapters for most countries. Very happy with this product and recommend it.

Purchased recently and used in Australia. Power Converter worked great. Was able to handle a flat iron but didn't need to try the blow dryer as one was available locally so can't verify if it works as advertised. Cord length was sufficient but could be longer, but then it would be heavier and take up more space. It did get warm but not hot if you leave it "turned on" for a prolonged time. Can't recall if this is in the description, but to use the USB power, the converter does not need to be turned on. Converter is quiet as no fan used for cooling. It comes with a variety of different plugs so it should work in most any country, but I'd verify you have the correct one before traveling. This converter was worth the price paid as it worked for us on our trip. I will purchase again if the need arises.

I read several articles which all claimed this was a good product for hairdryers and curling irons. I would not recommend it. I have a Drybar blowout hair dryer (the one with the brush) and by the middle of the trip, it was popping and I could see sparks coming out at times. It overheated to the point where it was almost burning to touch in the handle area. I’m worried it’s irreparably damaged from this. I also used a curl wand with it. Before leaving, I double checked that the curl wand was off. I got back to discover the curl wand was NOT off and had been hot the whole time. It usually has an override that will shut it off but it seems the adapter didn’t allow it to be triggered properly. It also was spotty with my phone charging. Sometimes my phone would go from 1% to 50% in a matter of minutes then others it would take a half hour to charge to that much. Finally, by the end of the trip simply running my hair dryer for a few minutes seemed to cause it to overheat and trigger a very loud fan. 0/10 would not recommend.

This voltage converter worked great for all the members of my family using blow dryers, curling irons and my charger for my iPhone and kindle. This item made things so much easier in both London and Paris. This is a must pack for any trips from now on.

In the past I had five different foreign country adapters that were rather large and took up a lot of space in my luggage. Then I still had to have a voltage converter so I could use it with my devices that were not 110-220 volt and 50-60 hertz compatible. With this setup you simply slide one of the six small appropriate country adapters onto the voltage converter and plug it into the wall. The converter accommodates two devices with American plugs up to 200 watts and one high wattage (up to 2000 watts) American plug for a hair dryer or hot comb but will not accommodate high voltage devices containing electronic chips, automatic reset, automatic shut-off or electronic temperature control. It also has three USB-A outlets and one USB-C outlet on the converter. The whole set up (six adapters and the voltage converter) is smaller than the five old adapters I previously used not including the separate voltage converter. Really nice.
