BESTEK Universal Travel Adapter 220V to 110V Voltage Converter with 0-2.4A 4 Port USB Charging and UK/AU/US/EU Worldwide Plug Adapter (White)

Bought for my deployment to Europe. It works great still have and ready to use if I got on another European deployment. Very ease to use. It is universal and includes adapters for Asians country outlets as well. Very light that you don’t even really notice the weight. It provides efficient power for a laptop, a Christmas tree, a game system, tv, and phone.

Ordered two. Used one every day for tow yeast and three months out side the US before the fan started making noise. It still works, tried vacuuming out the fan, it clean and works , just noisy. The second is used the same and still is working great. Highly recommended.

It worked as we expected and gave us no problems. Having three receptacles available was very handy.

This is the third Bestek voltage converter we have purchased. When my wife saw the first one she absolutely had to have one too. Obviously we like the product. I have used it in Europe, Canada, and the US, and, as the saying goes, I wouldn't leave home without it. Even if you don't regularly travel outside North America the fact that this device provides three 110-120 VAC @ 60 Hz outlets, plus four 5 VDC USB power connections, regardless of input voltage, makes it very useful for domestic travel too. It can function as a small power strip for low wattage devices and charge 2 or 3 mobile devices simultaneously. Don't expect it to power an iron or a 1200+ watt hair dryer, but you can connect laptop and printer power supplies to the 110-120 V outlets and charge phones, tablets, or other mobile devices from the USB ports. With the Bestek converter you won't need individual chargers for your phone, your tablet, your e-book reader, your iPod, etc. All you need is compatible cables. I keep one on my desk when not traveling. Which brings me to my complaint. On returning from a recent trip I found that the converter was in my bag but the power cord was apparently still in Austria. I decided to order another converter with two-day shipping to meet immediate needs and replace the power cord with less urgency so I could have one permanently on my desk and one packed and ready for travel. Unfortunately, multiple inquiries to Bestek at the e-mail address provided asking about a new power cord have brought no response from the company. Apparently I have a spare converter in case something goes wrong with one of the other two.

--------------- 2018, 2 year update: I've now been using this for about 2 years. In addition to the previous Italy trip, I've used it overseas in China, Iceland, and Grand Cayman as well as numerous times locally. I had a little trouble in China finding an appropriately powered outlet to run a curling iron but did manage it. Otherwise this thing has kept chugging along with no issues. Phones, camera batteries, AA chargers, even hooked up a pico projector & raspberry pi game system and it handled everything! ----------------- Original review: I purchased this bad boy specifically for my trip to Italy in late September. Between my traveling partner and me, we had quite a few different devices that needed power at some point and this worked flawlessly I used the standard power input twice and stuck mainly to the 2amp USB ports while my traveling partner used a curling iron plus what I had. At no time did it disappoint. I also used this in the airport when people were hogging the power switches (plug this and the US adapter in and a few of you can charge at the same time) and the other person (plus a couple of others) were grateful for the extra spots. Yes, there is a fan onboard and it does make noise (less that a standard oscillating fan) but it's a small price to pay for consistent, reliable, and a variety of power options. I tried some Teflon wax lubricant and that helped for a day or two but wore off. Still, no big deal. I've tried a few different power adapters and they usually switch off/on as they run into spotty electricity but this kept up. Coincidentally a couple we met up with had the same thing (different brand but clearly the same unit) and loved theirs.

Seriously, you don't need this for smart phones, camera or computers. Here is why. Look at the pictures. If you got a smart phone bought within the last 10 years, the electronics are made for all international voltage. Why? because they are all made in China in one big factory and sold to the entire world. We don't make things in the US anymore. Unless you have an obscure piece of electronic more than 10 years old, this is useless. You can always check the small writings on the electronic.Look for 110V-240V. That means it operates on both 110 volt in US and 220 or 240 volts international. Here is the exception: Appliance like hairdryer or toaster do need the right voltage. The cheaper ones of these appliance are not computer controlled, so they need the right voltage. Nicer ones of these will be dual voltage. But here is the problem, this low wattage converter will never run a hairdryer. This is only 200 watts max. Hairdryer is 600 watts and above. So don't even think about using this for a toaster or hairdryer. In conclusion, this thing is not needed for any modern electronics. Things that do need it, this is too small to handle. I ask you, what good is this thing? Is a waste of luggage space. Is sad, but this is a "feel good" device to make you think you are doing something when is a waste of time, money and space. One of our family member bought this by accident. We didn't even bother to take it on our trip. We just bought along the square adapters to change the shape of the outlet plug. The fan is always on, and very noisy. This is cheap. Nicer electronics will turn off the fan unless is needed. For charging smart phones at 2A, you don't need that fan. I ended up sticking a popsicle stick into the fan to stop it from turning. Now is quiet, and we just use the 4 USB ports to charge phones at home.

Works well

Es un poco ruidoso al funcionar

The products generates a lot of hiss noise in the background just like a transformer. Whenever I record a video there is a huge background hiss noise from this piece of equipment
