High wattage universal USB charger, but not voltage transformer
First, the good: This is an excellent universal USB charging block that will work, as far as I can tell, anywhere in the world that has electrical outlets. It has various settings to extrude the different plug connector types used in various parts of the world, so it can be plugged in. On the other side, it has a variety of sockets corresponding to those plug connector types, as well as 2 USB-A and 3 USB-C charging ports - enough for even those most electronically addicted.I plugged it into a standard US outlet. The USB-A ports provide an OK 850 mA to charge my phone, and, the USB-C ports a much better 1200 mA. There's even a handy zippered case to protect the block from damage, and a couple of spare fuses.The UK prong configuration includes a third plastic stabilizing prong that serves no electrical purpose - normally it would be a ground, as with US-style three-prong outlets. That's fine if your UK outlet has this third hole, but as in the US, older ones may not, and this won't fit those even though no ground is electrically required. I suppose you could cut or snap off the useless third plastic prong to make it work, but that's not ideal.There is one odd quirk with the prongs for US usage - you twist them sideways to make them fit Australian outlets. That should work fine, just perhaps a long-term weakness.Unfortunately, the instructions and description warn multiple times that this adapter only adapts plugs, it does not adapt voltage. This means that the regular plug sockets, which cover pretty much all the standard possible connectors, won't actually work the way you expect them to. Most foreign locations which use different plug configurations, also have a different voltage, and you need to adapt between both for the adapter to be any use.I think this is likely a good and useful international power adapter for USB port powered charging devices. But I'd be very reluctant to use the sockets for non-USB devices, as I have no idea what the output voltage might end up being or if I might fry something. And, I'm not sure I'll bring my multimeter with me on my next foreign trip to find out for sure.Compared to other similar options, this device is a bit on the pricey side, so shop around. But, it does have 5 USB ports, more than most, and claims it can handle much more wattage, so if you have a lot of hungry USB decides this might be a good choice. Thus I'd give this a qualified recommendation for that purpose. I just wouldn't recommend plugging anything into it other than to the USB ports, unless you are 100% certain you know what you are doing as far as voltages.

Got more than I bargained for
During my recent international travels, I depended on this travel adapter to keep my electronic devices charged across various destinations. It proved to be quite versatile, accommodating different socket types without any hassle and keeping my laptop powered up. However, an unexpected issue surfaced: my laptop began to give off small electric shocks when in use while connected to the adapter. Though the adapter was effective in its main function, the unintended electrification of my laptop's casing was both surprising and unsettling. Despite its overall usefulness, this shocking drawback has me thinking twice about its safety for future trips.

It works in the middle east
I recently traveled to the middle east and brought two different travel plug adapters. This one works as expected and the other one would not lock the plug in position.

Good both for travel and for home
The travel adapter is very well built: solid, yet lightweight. The smart design makes it a universal fit to almost all kinds of power outlets and plus types. I like its safety feature with the 10A fuse. The included travel case is also very nice. I expect the adapter to be super helpful when I travel in the future, but now I'm happier with its usage at home as a compact USB charging hub. I like the separate 3A USB-C port, which is perfect for my work laptop. The other 4 USB ports total a maximum of 5.8A with up to 2.4A for each port, which are higher than many other similar products

Low quality
Luckily this worked for converting a European plug to US plug, and it worked great for power. The build quality is very cheap though. The different plugs are hard to push out, and I can't get the UK plug out at all. It looks like there might be something broken inside that's stuck in front of one of the points preventing it from coming out. I'm not sure I would buy this again; it would probably be better to go with a different design.

Great Compact Multi-Country Adapter
This is a great travel adapter that should work in just about any country, since it has 4 different plug variations. That makes it ideal for use while traveling to multiple countries with different outlets. The five (5) USB outlets (2 USB-A, 2 USB-C 2.4A, 1 USB-C 3A) will supply a total of 5.8 Amps max.While the adapter is compact, it is deep and extends 6cm or just over 2.25 inches from the socket it is plugged into, which might be a problem in some applications. It's multi-country versatility is a worthwhile trade-off and it will accompany us on our next trip.
