Ceptics UK Travel Adapter Plug with USB , Dual USB with 2 Inputs - Perfect for Traveling to England, Hong Kong, Uae, Dubai (Type G)

A great adapter

I took this converter for a 1-week trip to London in Sept. 2017. This converter did a fantastic job of charging my phone and mophie while I slept and my Fitbit Blaze while I showered. I purchased a dual voltage hair dryer and flat iron and both of those worked great as well. It weighs nothing and is easy to pack. My only problem was that the USB ports were right next to the floor and it was a little tough to get it plugged correctly in the wall socket -- that may just be because of the way the outlets in our flat were situated. Otherwise - good buy. I'm returning to London next summer and I'm getting one of these for each member of my family.

We got this AND the same company's GP-3 model for a recent dive trip to Indonesia instead of bringing a much larger power strip. We were very pleased. We used the USB ports on this model to charge my spous's Kindle and smart phone, and the older model to power a battery charger, electric shaver and some other stuff. Even in places that just had one wall plug available, we got all the outlets we needed by plugging the GP4 into the wall and the GP3 into the GP4. And they took up so much less space than a power strip--a big plus in today's environment of increasingly tight weight and space allotments on airliners (especially ones flying domestic routes in Asian countries).

The adapter is of good quality and works well. However, it needs to have clear space above and below in order to plug in properly. I used the adapter in a university setting, attempting to utilize the desktop plugs. The orientation of the plugs and design of the adaptor did not allow me to use the desktop outlets. There was no room to plug the adapter in without making contact with the desk. I was able to access a floor outlet and remedy my charging issues. Lack of clearance was the only issue I had with this adapter, otherwise, I would have given it 5 stars.

This unit replaced a rather funky one that was at least 20 years old! Glad we bought a new one and it was extremely easy to use and something that is required if you are traveling abroad. Newer electronic devices can be plugged into these, even though foreign electricity is 240volts. The charging units of newer electronic devises are able to work with either 120v or 240v without needing any step down transformers, as was required, some times, in the past.

Perfect fit for all my hotel stays in France. The ROUND plug fit into every hotel electrical outlet. I HIGHLY recommend this type of adapter vs the rectangle ones; which didn't work my first trip to France. Tip: France hotels have round receptacle outlets that are set back into the wall. So those rectangle ones you see at all big box stores won't sit into the set backed receptacle. This round adapter was PERFECT and has worked in over 30 hotels in all parts of France (Paris, Normandy, Loire Valley, Bordeaux, Alsace, Lyon, Alps).

I definitely got a defective unit as I’ve had others and liked them. I ordered one a little while ago as a replacement when I lost one, but I didn’t have a way to test it until I traveled to Europe again. I just arrived in Europe and it doesn’t work when plugging it in for the very first time. I have another brand new one that works fine, purchased same day, so it’s simply defective. I’d love to return it but my return window is closed. I wish someone could help given the circumstances! Thanks!

Bought several of these plugs: C, E/F, Swiss and Italian versions. Used them all over Europe. Power is 220V all over Europe, but some countries (Switzerland, Italy and few others) have unique plugs, so make sure you buy the ones meant for that country. Most European countries use C (with no grounding) or E/F (with grounding - three prong equivalent). They worked perfectly. Was able to charge two phones using the USB outlets without any issues, plus used the extra outlet for computer, etc. Have since traveled extensively in Europe and used it many times. 3-4 years later, they are still going strong. Used them in hotels and trains all over. Excellent quality.
