Review on πŸ’‘ VCT 220V/240V AC 13A Universal Surge Protector: 6 Outlets, 450 Joules, Max 4000W - Heavy Duty European Cord by Sean Bond

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Worked great when the correct outlet was in that location.

Took this on a recent trip to Italy and has only been able to use it in 2 different locations. The plug appears to be newer than most wall sockets in Italy, as the entire head of the plug must fit into the recess in the socket. It doesn't fit in (old?) sockets with two or three pin holes. The pins are too thick for this style and wouldn't fit all the way in. Otherwise it worked great and housed all of my electronics that needed charging. I took the following chargers/adapters with me: - MacBook Pro laptop charger - iPhone 4S and iPad charger, iPhone 5S charger, GoPro charger (Wasabi brand), Fujifilm X-Pro1 battery charger (Wasabi brand), GPS Charger. Hooked them all up overnight. So either make sure the places you're going to visit are fairly new and have updated plugs (I think it's a newer style, I'm not 100% familiar) or see if you can fit an adapter for it , which fits the socket with 3 prongs (all in one row). Good product, solid construction.

Pros
  • Protecting computers and other electrical equipment from damage from power surges and surges
Cons
  • Slightly torn
