Ceptics Japan, Philippines Travel Adapter Plug with Dual USB - Usa Input - Type A - Ultra Compact (CTU-6) - Perfect for Cell Phones, Laptops, Camera Chargers

I bought this adapter for a month long trip to Europe. I visited Germany, the Czech Republic, Poland and Austria - all use the same style of outlet and this adapter was compatible to convert my U.S. plugs. As you can see from the photo (Germany), I was able to plug in my cord for my Apple laptop and it held up to the weight. If the hotel's outlet is a little loose, the adapter may sag under the weight, but I only had that problem in one location. The adapter also features USB ports which were handy to simultaneously charge my cell phone and other items. I was traveling by myself; so, this product was all I needed. If you are traveling with a partner or family, you may wish to get a larger model instead. Or you could simply take turns using this one. For me, it was small, lightweight and easy to use!

No issues during international travel; worked great. These were “hefty” in just the right way and felt secure in all but the loosest port (not a problem with the adapter itself).Had a cheaper adapter set before this from a different brand and these are a nice step up; I feel like I can keep using these in the future without worrying about them.I would love faster charging speed through the USB port while keeping the price the same.

Updated to 5 Stars after use. This update is long overdue, but it's never too late to give credit where it's due.In short, after my trip to Italy in late April, the adapters performed as expected...no fuss, no muss. My original review was driven by the inaccurate information in the listing, but if what's important to you is that what you buy works the way you intended, then this product deserves the five stars. It worked without fail.FYI: Rating is for inaccurate listing (as of 04/01/2025) -- Although I have not yet used these adapters, I did want to advise potential buyers looking for exactly what was advertised in the listing (Type C and Type L adapters) -- basically one is 2-prong and the other is 3-prong. You may only get 2-prong adapters in your order (Type C). At least that's what I got despite the fact that the listing *clearly* says you will get both types and the pictures indicate both types. So, I'm putting in a 3-star rating for an inaccurate listing, but as soon as I come back from my trip I will update the rating based on the actual usage. I have read that although 3-prong outlets (Type L) are still around, the majority of outlets will be 2-prong (Type C) and apparently you can also use a 2-prong adapter in a 3-prong outlet. So, I don't want to judge too harshly at this time.

Excellent purchase! All new construction uses the 3 prong in Brazil but many places (including Galeão Airport in Rio de Janeiro) still have the 2 prong plugs. We were at our gate waiting to board return flight and the plugs at recharging stations near us were all 2 prong and no USB ports. The USB ports we did find were all broken. It’s good to keep both adapters on you so you’re prepared for whatever situation arises. Love that they have the USB included - so handy!

Works well

Last thing you need with overseas travel is problems with your electronics. These are well made and fit in the sometimes oddly shaped outlets you encounter in Europe. Don’t try and get away with one of those multi functional devices, they are usually made with cheap plastic that will crack and they often don’t fit securely in the socket. If you are visiting multiple countries you may have to get a couple of different types but it will worth it. Most electronics are dual voltage anymore, just remember this is only an adapter, not a converter. If you are thinking of taking hair care items like a flat iron, you might consider just buying one when you get there as often even products claiming to be dual voltage have been known to melt.

We purchased this for our recent trip to Italy and it worked great. A few notes in case you are unsure before you buy it:1. The AC adapter portion converts the plug to USA but does not convert the voltage to 120V so be sure to check what voltages your device is rated for (check the plug or where the plug enters the appliance). My AC cell phone charger is 110 - 220V so this worked great. It would not have worked for my hair straightener, though. This is listed in the product description but it bears repeating. There are more expensive and bulky products that do convert voltage available elsewhere on Amazon.2. We used this adapter to charge two cell phones and a supplemental battery to charge our phones on the go when we were out all day. This worked great. The USB adapters are 2.4 volts and do not support fast charging (at least in our experience). This is to say that it's great for charging your phone overnight or if you leave it for a solid block of time, but not for a quick 1-2 hour full charge like you'd get with a fast charger - use an AC adapter for that.

the adaptor worked perfectly
