I travel often to Europe, and in the past have always had hard time finding a proper power converter to help me use my electronic devices over there. However, I’ve finally figured out two things: 1. All those cheap power converters that you come across really don’t work. A true power converter would be too bulky and too heavy to carry around, especially on a plane. 2. Most of the modern electronic devices don’t need power/voltage conversion. They work perfectly well with both the US and European voltages. So what you really need is a plug adapter.

This Usee adapter seems to work reasonably well. It can adapt to the plugs and devices from the US, UK, Europe, and Australia. In that respect it’s pretty universal. All the prongs and power outlet plugs are retractable, so it’s very easy to store this adapter and keep it from tearing your travel cloths in your suitcase. It also has two USB charger plugs, which is an additional bonus since we are increasingly reliant on all of our small USB-charging devices.

The adapter is well designed and built. It seems sturdy enough to withstand repeated handling and vicissitudes of international travel. It is fairly compact, and its cubic shape makes it very easy to store.

Overall, this is a very thoughtfully designed outlet adapter that could really be of use to frequent international travelers.
