Ceptics US to UK Plug Adapter, Dual USB Adapter for UAE, Ireland, Hong Kong

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 love this adapter kit. Traveled through Europe and it worked like a charm

Took it with me on a month long trip out of the country. I only took the attachments I knew I would need, so it would save space, and it worked perfectly. It is a small size which is great. An absolutely wonderful upgrade from devices I’ve had for a while, and it’s very simple. I did, however, label each attachment for what county it works in, as if you throw out the box, you won’t know which one works with which country just by looking at the plugs. I should add that I didn’t realize Taiwan and Japan generally are the same as US chargers (without the 3rd grounding prong though), so I didn’t *need* it there, but the extra plugs, extra usbc charger (which is attached to the device) and the usb-A connections allowed me and my girls to charge our devices (phones, earbuds, external battery) in a very small room without having to take too many turns. High marks for this device. Don’t look further. This is the one you want. Happy that I found it.

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.

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 2.0 Oh, and a piece was missing. They promptly sent the wrong piece, then promptly sent the right piece. Nicely done, just not perfect.

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.

Have not used these yet. I will use them this October in Egypt. Good quality!

Used this on a trip to Kruger National Park in South Africa and it worked perfectly! It was used to charge camera batteries, phones, flashlights and other electronics and did so with no issues at all. Very happy with this adapter.

I purchased this Ceptics South Africa Power Plug Adapter as I was visiting South Africa, and it worked perfectly using the Adapter.

Si vas a viajar a Sudamérica es buena opción

I did not give this 5 stars just because I have not used it long enough to know how robust it is. That being said it is compact and well set up for any application.

Sencillo de usar aunque se ve muy grande me sirvió mucho en el norte de Italia hay hoteles y hostales viejos que usan el europeo y el Italiano conviene para recargar múltiples aparatos con el USB y nunca se me calentó.

Llegó con una de las entradas chueca. Y muchos de los que lo compraron dicen que trae bolsita, el mío no llegó con bolsita…
