International Travel AC power plugs and sockets

Why I choose this for my first product review?
Well every house hold, in different country or world wide hotels has an different AC Power sockets, so each one of you have a Smart Phone or basic mobile which needs to be fully charge and able to work again.
It is the most important “Consumer Electronics Products” in the world.

So lets get started…

Personal use
Okey, I’ve got here are two different type of International Travel AC power plugs and sockets products, here they are (Currently owned.)

Figure 1.1
International Travel Adapter 01: Made in Taiwan, Voltage : 100v – 240v, Have three sockets, has New Zealand power plug.
Pros’ “Its better use in the house hold and able to plug more then one personal gadgets to power up.”
Cons’ “Sadly it doesn’t have USB 2.0 slot and only it has single power plug at the end.”

Figure 1.2
International Travel Adapter 02: Made in China, Voltage : 100 – 250v, 50/60 Hz, Only have one Socket plus  USB 2.0 Slot and it has three power plugs.
Pros’ “Able to travel everywhere with it, it also has USB 2.0 Slot.”
Cons’ “Disappointing with it, only contain with one international power socket.”
In Figure 1.2, It looks like one Adaptor right? actually it can split, push two little side buttons and release, looking like this… (Figure 1.3)

Now we know those two adaptors can do, what happen if I plug them each other like this…
(Figure 2.1)
Figure 2.1
Both of them are quiet in handy travel to other countries and able to plug your gadgets more then one.
I give this Score 9 out of 10, but why I give 9 not 10?
Personally I am product user and tester, to give out reviews, which I will find a solution and negative side of it.
So this is what I found out, USB 2.0 has Only one socket, but if you have more then 3 or 4 USB socket adaptor, yes you can power some gadgets which uses USB cable to power up.
Depends on you, either to carrying more then three or four adaptors, or only use those two adaptors like on the “Figure 1.1 and Figure 1.2”.

What about the others AC power adaptors? In the past I has tried and brought few of them like these…

Figure 3.1
They all has Single socket, No USB Slot, individual adapter.
Pros’ “Its better use in the house hold”
Cons’ “You have to get the same amount for each of your own personal gadgets.”

Now comes to conclusion: “No matter where you are, travel to every places, better Do NOT carrying between 6-20 adaptors”, you need more space to carrying gifts, clothes and others unexpected items, to go back to your home town.
All it comes to, if you have international gadget products, is this the right product for you? I believe it “YES”, that is why I use these and able power/charge battery of my smart phone, Laptop, Android and Apple Tablet and hair dryer.
