Ceptics Type E/F

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 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.

Worked great, bought these for trip to Buenos Aires, Argentina

This is a great product - incredible for the price! I recently used it in Taipei, Shenzhen, and Hong Kong. After that trip, I needed a USB adapter, so I used it at home in the USA, too. It works just fine in all those places. It is very compact and with the two built-in USB chargers it's very convenient. So much so that it is now part of my domestic travel kit, not just my international travel kit. On a recent trip to Hotel Del Coronado in San Diego, the family used it to charge Android phones, iPhones, iPads, and rechargeable battery packs. I only travel occasionally, so this product is fine. It is certainly not the highest build quality, but it is of sufficient build quality. That said, if I were traveling frequently, I'd either buy a spare, or keep looking for a more hardily constructed product: when in use, some of the adapters are mechanically weak/wobbly. That is the only reason I knocked a star off; not for operational reasons - it has worked well.

Worked as promised no issues

This is the BEST quality travel adapter we’ve ever had, and we travel internationally a lot. The way the different plugs slide in and out of the bag makes this a very handy adapter that takes up minimal space. We also love the four USB ports on the side. We can plug in nearly everything we need. Haven’t noticed a noise coming from it but it DOES have a light at the USBs. This light is either convenient or annoying, depending on how you feel about lights at night. Some people find them convenient so you know where the charger is. Others prefer a completely dark room for sleeping. It’s up to you, but the convenience of this thing can’t be beat. Excellent power level/charge speed too.

These Ceptics adapters are a great deal for the price. I picked up the 3-pack as my wife has multiple hair care devices with European plugs. I also ordered a monitor stand with hub that somehow came with a European plug instead of a US one. They fit snugly in standard U.S. outlets and provide a proper ground connection, which not all adapters at this price point do. The white color blends in well with most walls and power strips, and the build quality feels solid. No wiggle, no sparks, and no cheap plastic feel. They’re small enough to keep in a bag or drawer, but not so tiny that you lose them. It’s also nice to have three so you can set up in multiple rooms, or just keep extras as backups.

worked perfectly, i'd recommend.

Working as expected

Very quick delivery. Good product.

Lo usé para un viaje a Brasil y funcionó perfectamente.

Good quality, use it on my ex USA boat, received in good order and well packed

Good deal vs what you get in supermarket. Especially when you move to UAE from India with your appliances 😄
