- Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2024This is a Euro Travel Plug to Worldwide Plug Adaptor with 4 USB Sockets. 2x USB A & 2x USB C.
Previously in holidays in Europe I would need to take 2 plug adaptors and 2 USB Chargers.
This allows me to reduce that count from 4 devices to 3 devices... So, less to carry !!
It is rated for a total power consumption of 250V 10A - So 2.5kW (2500 Watts) - which is fine & standard.
(Actually, the manual states that it is capable of passing through 4kW - I suspect that is a mistake).
The plug is secure and fits well into the Euro Socket.
I only need to insert UK plugs, but most of the plugs from around the world (200+ countries) would fit inside.
The live and neutral pins are shuttered, so you can't get at them unless the earth is correctly inserted.
The USB picture is mostly OK... It is a simple charger without all the frills.
It doesn't have QC Quick Charge or PD Power Delivery.
It is rated on the plug to supply a total of 17W of power (between all 4 USB sockets).
The USB A sockets get 5V 2.4A = 12W. That's still standard charging.
The USB C sockets get 5V 3.0A = 15W. That's fast charging, but only just !!
That's all fine and good, if you are charging one device, but if you are charging two or more devices, then the power will be divided roughly equally between all the devices which want it. With the maximum of 17W being divided between all the devices, you might only be giving your devices between 4 - 8W each. That might be fine for charging your phone or tablet to 100% overnight, but it certainly wouldn't be good enough for a 1 or 2 hour top-up.
I have equipment which can test USB chargers, and my equipment confirms there is no QC or PD on any of the USB sockets.
It supplied 5V (more often 4.8V under load) and up to 3.5A of current, before safety protocols cut in to prevent overload.
That was the same whether it was 1 USB socket drawing power or 2 sockets. The maximum power draw was just over 17W.
When charging 2 devices simultaneously, I was also able to run a 2kW heater from the main socket.
So, all in all, a good Euro socket adaptor and USB charger. If you need 'fast' or 'super-fast' charging for multiple power hungry devices, then this wouldn't be the one for you. Most single devices left connected to this overnight should charge to 100%. If you connected four almost empty tablets to this overnight, then with only 4W charging per device, it might not be able to charge all four of them up to 100% in the time available.
