Review on Versatile Travel Combo: 2000W Voltage Converter Adapter for Hair Dryer, Iron, Kettle - Worldwide Charging for Cell Phone, Laptop - 200+ Countries by Joe Jordan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Converts to 110 inefficiently, barely overheats cells

It ended up being a travel adapter (too expensive for this use), not a converter. I took it to South Africa this week and tried to use it to power my USB charger (Device 110). Two issues: a) the converter makes a lot of noise when the device is plugged in (more than I could use when trying to sleep) and b) the USB charger got very hot after 10 minutes of use. I was so scared it would catch fire or die so I unplugged it and stopped using it. connected their devices to a portable battery. The only thing that worked was plugging my laptop into a charger (but again, a basic $10 travel converter would do). look elsewhere

Pros
  • Easy installation
Cons
  • I won't say anything
