Ceptics UK, Hong Kong, Ireland, UAE Travel Plug Adapter (Type G) - 3 Pack [Grounded & Universal] (GP-7-3PK), White, Standard

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.

Likes:Strong durable body.Compact enough to fit into a small bag.Plenty of USB-C and USB ports!Adapter functions are wonderful and versatile!Concerns:Might not be able to handle a MacBook Air and charging the iPhone at the same time.Kept or Returned?Kept it because it actually came with an extra fuse it seems and I am glad there is some backup built in. The product feels solid and I know I won't be left hanging when traveling overseas.Thanks for your time and I hope this review was helpful.

Was as described and works like a dream. AC power as well as the USB A and C ports worked flawlessly. Another great and convenient product from this vendor.

I love the concept of this, and it works well. We got the extension that slides on the back, so that an outlet that is awkwardly located can have an extension so that this box will sit on a table. The regular adapters for the different outlets have a sliding door that locks the plug to the main body, which is a terrific and intuitive design. The extension has one end that fits into the main body, but the sliding door/retention system doesn't close due to the actual cord leaving the main body. It is held in place only by the friction of the adapter, and tends to come apart.If I had to guess, I would say the company saw a need for their great product to have an extension like this, but they would have to do some re-design and re-tooling to make a better connection to the extension cord (sold separately).A little tape is not elegant, but holds it together. I did send pictures to the company, they seem to understand the issue, but state that it is functioning as designed. Looking forward to Version 2.0Oh, and a piece was missing. They promptly sent the wrong piece, then promptly sent the right piece.Nicely done, just not perfect.

I originally purchased this item as an international travel adapter. I wanted USB power ports and was attracted to the Power Delivery feature on the USB-C ports. Since receiving it I now use it with the USA SWADAPT connector as my daily outlet at one of my most frequently used USB charging locations. Very nice!
