DOACE 220v to 110v Voltage Converter for European Travel: Max 500W Pure Sine Wave Voltage Converter US to Europe - 220 to 110 International Power Adapter Plug Combo Step Down Transformer Black

For years I've been carrying around one of those universal converter / transformer "cubes" you plug into a wall, but honestly the build quality on most I've used has been crap and after a year or two I'm throwing away because their connections on any ports seem to become more intermittent as the cheap plastic parts loosen up over time. So I decided to try something more like a "power-strip" configuration for a last-minute trip to Dubai, and the "DOACE" was the one available with overnight shipping. I was a little concerned given the relatively random brand name, and that this is a little bigger to pack, and having the cord and plug converters at first I didn't think would be ideal... but after completing my first trip I'm extremely happy with this purchase and this will easily see hundreds of thousands of miles of travel with me in the years ahead!It takes up a little more space in your bag - that's unavoidable - but the execution is so much better than those little cubes. First, since I knew what country I was flying to I just took the single plug converter for that country. The unit itself comes with an EU default plug so if I were traveling there I wouldn't have to carry any converter at all. But the transformer and multiple outlets is what really makes it. 2 USB-C, 2 USB-A, and 3 regular US electrical outlets, and the ability to plug in high-draw things like hair dryers and curling irons? Awesome! Now it seemed like the power output on the USB outlets wasn't huge - maybe 15W? - so it's not going to be a fast charger on its own for your USB gadgets. But if you have a normal fast-charging adapter for your USB devices you just plug those into the US plugs. I was using this with two Anker battery packs which have digital readouts and it worked great, and I was able to pull 60W out via the normal 120v plugs and push that into my laptop.Some people in reviews complained it's "noisy" - and honestly, I think it's a positive. So my experience was, if you're doing low-draw items the internal fan won't kick on at all and in that case it's totally silent. But once I was drawing 60W out through the normal plugs and charging up my watch or my tablet ... sometimes a fan would kick on. In my opinion, this is a GOOD thing because it would be cheaper for them to make without a temperature sensor and a fan, right? That would be a safety hazard. Or, they could just limit the maximum output so that a fan would never be required but also not create a safety issue. So, from time to time a small fan might kick on. It's not loud. It sounds like a laptop fan when it does need to kick on. You'll only hear it when you're drawing a lot of power through the unit. I did not find it off-putting. Others might I guess based on some of the reviews here, but honestly it's no biggie.Very happy with my purchase here.

Was a wonderful addition to my trip out of the country. Everything worked just fine and the USB-C power was enough to charge my first gen Moto Edge and the other one was used to charge an iPhone 11. Simultaneously, it was also running my Steam Deck.

This was a first purchase for a flight to the EU. It worked flawlessly at converting my US plugs to 2 other country styles during the trip. The weight was moderate, the power conversion and USB ports worked as described. There was zero noise. It took a bit of space to pack so the 4 star was for required space.

Works great. No problems. Can safely use my American straightener while in Europe. Also safe for phones, headphones, and ipad. Sometimes the fan makes a little noise but it’s still very quiet. The USB and USB-C ports work really well.

I took this on a 2-month journey through New Zealand and Fiji. It worked flawlessly and it was priceless! I never had to worry about frying any of my electronics.

I took this convertor on a trip to Africa. It worked perfectly and even exceeded my expectation. I feel like I made a great investment by buying this device.

Incompatible plugs and voltages have frequently been a source of irritation for me during my travels around the world. This has been the case for everything from charging my gadgets to providing power to my important electronic devices. I was instantly pleased by the converter's clever and comprehensive design when I first received it and took it out of its packaging. The body is sleek and compact, and it is packed with a plethora of functions that are designed to meet the varied requirements of modern travelers that travel across the world. As a result of the inclusion of three AC sockets, two USB-C ports, and two USB-A ports, I am able to charge and power a wide variety of devices with a single unit. These devices include my laptop and tablet, as well as my camera and hair dryer. One of the most notable characteristics that has truly won me over is the converter's capacity to manage a wide range of voltages, ranging from 100V to 220V. Because of this, I no longer have to be concerned about risking the destruction of my electronic devices or continually reviewing the terms and conditions of my chargers. Through the utilization of pure sine wave technology, the power supply is guaranteed to be clean and stable, thereby safeguarding my electronic gadgets from any potential damage.

Horrible. I've had it on for less than an hour (new, out of the box) and it keeps restarting. Complete loss of power while it cycles back. Do not buy.
