This has the adapter and converter option. Still on my trip to London and on the first day both my alarm clock and laptop got fried. It worked fine to re-charge my camera but definitely was not good for my other electronics. Not much option were available if looking for both adapter and converter. Borrowed a computer to make this comment1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

I just got using this over seas and it worked great. I purchased this converter/adapter after doing a little research. After reading some of the bad reviews on how things blew up, I can only guess that they may have purchased the adapter only that is made by the same company and looks almost the same. The adapter version does not have a power converter built in like this item does, so be careful.1 out of 2 found this review helpful.

Overall, I'll be looking for a different converter. It's so heavy and bulky that it has a hard time staying plugged in at times, especially when something is plugged into it. It did it's job, but there has to be better options.0 out of 0 found this review helpful.

Took this on a trip to Mauritius and all 5 of my sisters used it for their various items. My sisters live all over the world so having the ability to plug in a lot of different plugs worked great!
It was plugged in all the time after just day one because my older sister bought a less expensive one from a major department store and it burned out after about three minutes. It actually popped!
Definitely worth the money!
Had to make sure to get home with it cause everyone wanted to take it home.2 out of 3 found this review helpful.

If I could give it 0 stars, I would. I am in the UK right now and unable to use this converter. I plugged the device in at a hotel and it IMMEDIATELY surged. I checked the instructions to make sure that I was using it properly, and to my dismay, found that the device simply DOES NOT WORK. Please do not purchase it. I expect to return it as soon as I get home.1 out of 2 found this review helpful.

It gets the job done and you get a few choices so anywhere you travel you will have the right outlets and power converter, Worked great, hairdryer was a little weak though.1 out of 1 found this review helpful.

This is the first time that I have reviewed a product. I normally do not but this product did not work for the reason it was purchased. I bought this for my wife to use her flat iron while we went to europe. We went to Paris and when she plugged her flat iron in it burned out right away. This thing is junk and now I need to buy a new $200 flat iron.1 out of 3 found this review helpful.

Works with charging laptops (macbook pro and Asus) but for some reason my iPhone only charges up to 11% when plugged into this converter. Plugged phone back into computer and it charged normally.
Not sure if this was a coincidence but my girlfriends flat iron straightener broke after using it with this product. However,the iron was having issues before it was plugged in so I'm still not sure if this caused it to finally break.
We used this adapter in Italy (and I'm writing this review while I'm here!).4 out of 5 found this review helpful.
