I bought the dual voltage power strip for my travels. I average 2-3 trips per year. I had been traveling with a normal extension cord, which took up too much room, added too much weight and did,t meet most of my needs. This stubby extension with USB ports is perfect for my needs. It's just long enough. It accepts 3-prong cords or chargers and USB chargers for my iPad, iPhone and iPod. It packs easily.

This is the perfect answer to hotels without enough outlets near the desk. It is compact and, best of all, is certified for higher (European) voltages. I don't travel without it.

It is compact and the plug nicely plugs into a socket to protect it . This strip saved us from having to purchase multiple adapters, but in many places, one outlet is all you get. We used it with Magellans Universal Adapter, which we've used all over the world. I especially like that I can use it at home as well as overseas. The USB port saves a socket & works great for an iPhone.

I recently purchased this to use on a cruise and it was so convenient! Cruisers know that ship cabins suffer from a distinct lack of electrical outlets which causes a challenge when we have so many gadgets that need to be recharged on a regular basis. This power strip was compact and easy to pack but allowed us to plug in several items at once. Given how rapidly I was using my camera batteries, I constantly had that recharger plugged into the power strip! I am very glad I purchased this.
Becoming a standard item in my bag

Although I usually can find enough plugs in hotel rooms, having this means I don't have to spread my electronic things out ,or spend time searching for plugs.I thought the USB port would be good for charging my Blackberry (saving me from packing another charger). It does work, but doesn't put out a lot of juice. It takes a long time to recharge my BlackBerry compared to when I plug it into my laptop. I'm waiting for the day when I can rent spaces on it at the airport!
Love this Product!!

There are NEVER enough outlets for charging, especially in Europe. You do need an adapter, but after that you're set to charge a Blackberry, cellphone and--with the very handy USB port--a digital camera without needing to lug a laptop. This will be a must in my travel bag from now on.
a very good product

The strip plugs into itself for storage, but it doesn't lie flat when you use it. This is a small inconvenience, though; it's very useful, and there are many trips where it would have come in handy. I plan to just leave it in my suitcase and take it everywhere. I especially appreciate that it's dual-voltage.
Very very handy

This came in very handy on a recent trip to France. The little old Paris hotels have very few plugs, and we needed to charge several items.
The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is that it's weight is a little higher than it could be.

Perfect Travel Charger

This power strip was perfect for our recent week-long cruise. We were able to charge our 2-way radios and iPod while also using a curling iron. We are extremely pleased with this purchase and will be using it regularly.
Works well, but is not a surge protector...

The power strip is great for travel, especially in hotels where the number of outlets is quite small. For travel in the US, the strips well, as no adapters are needed. For travel in Europe, adapters are needed to convert the three prong plug to the local outlet. Please note that this item is not a surge protector. I still prefer the EuroSurge when traveling in Europe. On my most recent trip, however, I plugged this power strip into my Euro Surge and was able to have power and/recharge capacity f

I replaced a 4-plug single voltage mini power strip and 2 charging adapters with this device. Since it has a USB port, I can charge my phone or Kindle and leave their chargers at home. And since it is dual voltage, I can use it outside the US - something not possible with most power strips.
Great for international travel

I would have given 5 stars; however, my only complaint is that the cord should be slightly longer. Otherwise, this works great with no problems. I'm currently traveling through 4 countries in Europe, and this power strip has cut down the number of plug adapters I need to bring. The USB plug is a fantastic added bonus, which I use to charge my iPod while charging my cell phone and laptop at the same time. Highly recommended!
Very handy !!

I used this extensively on my last trip to recharge multiple items at one time when only one outlet was available in the hotel room. It is very lightweight and compact and since I travel with only carry-on luggage...it was very convenient. I had looked for something like this in local stores, but I couldn't find anything like it in stores or online. I will take if with me on every trip from now on.
Packs small and delivers large

How many times have you tried to reach around a hotel bed to unplug the clock or lamp, just so you will have a free outlet? This cleverly designed power strip gives you several outlets plus a USB plug in for your iPod or Kindle or other USB devices. I especially like that the cord wraps around the strip and plugs into one of the outlets for a compact unit for packing.
Highly recommend! Also makes a great gift for your favorite travelers.
Indispensable!

One of the most useful items I bought for a three week trip to Africa. But will be useful for all trips--and I won't leave home without it! Particularly good for foreign travel because only need one plug adaptor ! Makes travel easier--just plug in items that need to be charged and your set!
Would have rated it a 5 if it had surge protection included.
By Tim B., UT

Nice and compact.....BUT We all know that traveling in 3rd world countries that the power can be undependable at times. Surge protection is a must in these situations.

Perfect for rooms with few outlets. Still have to carry a plug adapter, but don't need a converter. Light weight and easy to carry.
Essential gadget!

This item is so compact you'll want to take it everywhere. The short cord wraps around the body and plugs into one of the outlets for safe transportation. The USB outlet is also a plus!
Well thought-out and useful
By Gerry M., ON

This is a welcome replacement for some short (1 ft) single outlet extensions plus three-outlet cube taps with which I normally travel to "feed" mutliple electronic. The added USB charger port effectively makes this four outlets. One quality control note: I purchased two of these; one allows storage of the cord by wrapping around and inserting the plug perfectly, the other has a slightly shorter cord, requiring some stretching to get the plug in. This is not desirable with molded connections!

Prongs are no problem

Previous poster was worried about hte rigid prongs possibly damaging stuff in the luggage, I find if you plug it into itself, you dont have that problem.
I love the USB jack, great addition to a standard power strip.
Really handy size

this fits nice into corner of suitcase or into the pocket of computer bag. It's great to have extra plug.
Almost perfect

The prongs should either be foldable, or retractable. I do not like relatively sharp, and unmovable objects being packed with my baggage--particularly should TSA open and improperly repack. Otherwise a great product.
