I was kinda cautious about the product before ordering because of mixed reviews. But I tell you this is the best Voltage Adapter in market right now. USB slot can charge your tablet, mobiles ,cameras..(I am using it to charge IPAD3 , Samsung Galaxy Nexus and SONY DSC WX 150 camera) .. It's lightweight and really handy to carry anywhere. I ordered 6 BESTEK adapters to gift to my home and friends. None of them is making noise, nothing went bad until yet. I was using it in Europe and it worked Really best everywhere.. Really good investment ..I, stupidly, left feedback on how promptly this had arrived, and how pleased we were at that, and apparently, once having left feedback, even though I have removed it, Amazon will no longer give me a way to contact the seller to try to rectify things, so my sole recourse is to warn others. Of course we could not test it until we got to the UK, and it DID NOT WORK AT ALL. Nada. Zip. So we bought a converter there which worked brilliantly.
My advice, since you easily can get them abroad--ours was from a little lamp/hardware store in Morton-on-Marsh, England, so it wasn't as if we had to go to a big city--DO NOT BUY from a US seller. You can't test it, and it's just heavy junk to schlepp if it didn't work.
I just assumed it would work, and was trying to wrap up a bunch of Amazon feedback requests before leaving on the trip! Lesson two learned! You can't get back to the seller once you have left feedback.This review is for the Universal Travel Adapter & Power Converter, model number MRJ301D by Bestek. The vendor I bought from was LaszPower and full disclosure: after sending my item, LaszPower sent a follow-up mailer claiming if I submit this review on Amazon they will send me a package of free stuff...so here's hoping!
The product was shipped quickly with a decent amount of packaging. For what you get it seems worth the price. The unit is nicely compact, feels solid and isn't too heavy (always a concern with my luggage). There are no wires or spare parts. All the prongs are neatly self-contained when not in use. The UK prongs are spring-loaded with a trigger switch on top of the device, which gives a strong 'pop' when activated. Be sure no sleeping babies are nearby! To avoid the loud popping sound, simply hold your thumbs over the UK prongs, activate the switch with your forefinger and gently ease back your thumbs. The prongs will push themselves into position. To re-load the prongs, perform the same steps in reverse order. This process was not at all documented in the included paperwork, but with a little trial-and-error it was easy enough. The trigger is not labeled on the device. A person could mistake it for a button at first. Hopefully this review helps you avoid confusion.
Many travel adapters have separate prongs for US and AU. Bestek combined the US and AU prongs into a single set. You may rotate the prongs with your fingers into the desired configuration. This process is labeled on the device.
There are 2 lights on the device's face, one green (labeled USB) and one red (AC). If/when issues occur, observe the lights. They will be on and/or off in various patterns depending on the specific problem. The included paperwork features a troubleshooting table that interprets the lights, so be sure and take it with you (it's one sheet of paper, folded).
For voltage conversion there are no switches or toggles. The unit always outputs 110VAC, no matter the input. For US travelers abroad, this means no thought is required. Just plug in your stuff. Travelers from other countries should note this device ONLY ouptuts 110VAC. As always, any traveler should check the specific requirements for their own electronics.
There is one receptacle on the device's face. It is the universal type that accepts plugs of all configurations. The single USB power port is located on the bottom of the device.
This adapter worked well until I (foolishly) tried to plug in a US surge protector with it. I think I blew the internal fuses on both units! In fairness to the adapter I was in Ukraine, in an older building with faulty wiring. We experienced electrical issues in other parts of the building, so that may have contributed to the problem. In any event, the adapter worked perfectly for about 5 minutes before I tried to get creative with it. I'm going to replace the fuse on this one. If that doesn't work I plan to buy this adapter again and treat it more carefully.This converter is very simple and easy to use. The plugs fit just about everything you will come in contact with. The USB is a nice touch as well. It allows for multi-device charging.I needed a good, affordable, compact option for voltage conversion prior to an overseas trip this month. This unit seemed to fit the bill. It is an all-in-one that has all the different plug types built into one box. It handled everything I threw at it in the Philippines, to include an iPhone and a CPAP machine, with no issues. Next week I am planning to take it to Poland, and now I will do so with confidence. I would recommend this item to a friend planning to take a trip to a 220V country.
