jaymeez I believe thats the one where the 2 usb ports are attached to the top and the input section is removable right? So you can only either charge 2 USBs or 1 plugged in device. I prefer an all in one type but I do agree quality over quantity
The skross one is the only one that is technically legal in the UK as its the only one thats fused. The 4th one you show is very dangerous, the one on the top right with the green on off switch is also dangerous as the pins are always connected.
The white export only adpter shown in this video is dangerous and life hazardous! Don't use it. If you disable it you will see its poor build quality without any fuse or safte protection.
Skross has a Pro series with a "3-pole" charger. I recently purchased this one from Amazon for $45 which is pricey for this type of product but I want to buy once and be done with it. Quality over Quantity
Good video, but maybe to SKROSS or the black one adapter you should insert grounded european plug but these adapters hasn't ground pin. So it's maybe dangerous. What do you think?
100% normal & OK that the "SKROSS" does NOT accept 3 pin, because it has NO earth / ground = its a Safety feature - it also seems to have a fuse = required in UK for any plug ... the "high pitched sound" may come from the integrated USB power supply ( coil whine ) - NOTE: the socket side could be better designed with separated holes for every plug-system for a more effective shutter
A user typically needs only one output. Multiple outputs serve nothing to the user they only make the things easier for the manufacturer. USB connectors are not ideal as they typically do not serve well tablets or modern phones.
Are the USB in these things safe? None are converters but many things are dual voltage now. But I wonder about my phone. The charger says its dual. But does that mean that it's the charger itself that is our the phone? If it's the charger then aren't the usb sockets in these a trap?
Im from Australia all adopters in Australia have to have insulated live and neutral pins and also must have Australia tick of approval if it does not meet Australia standards you can get in a lot of trouble
Going from EU to US, you can just buy very thin adapters. Just get enough of them, and you're set! To use simple adapters, you'd need to know what kind of plug they're using at your destination, and they're not all thin and compact. I bought some UK to EU for permanent use. They're much bigger.
YaYa I also chaned to US replaceable plugs from my European low wattage 230V appliances to be used in the Philippines like Panasonic alarm clock radios, etc... Most of the Philippines uses US 2 pin outlets (Outlets from Panasonic brands).
Have to be careful on what adapter you taking to Australia because Australia have strict rules on electrical appliance more information on the travel website
Unless you are going to Australia, all you need is one small euro to US plug, because the euro plug works in the uk, you just have to stick something in the top slot to open the louvers.
Martin Grimes I'll use a half cut single US flat pin plug to plug on or paperclip Australian style 3 pin Chinese outlet. First, plug the ground earth plug that you chiseled in half of used US plugs and plug your 2 pin AU flat diagonal pin to Chinese 3 pin outlet while flat pin earth outlet plugged in. Just like plugging Europlug to UK outlet without an adaptor using a pen to plug on UK earth pin outlet while trying to plug a europlug outlet (phone chargers)
+Ivan VaOl Yes 3 things are able to be charged with the SKROSS. I did a written review of the green button charger here: packinglite.co/universal-travel-adapter/
+Afshaad Namirani The one of the far right is a standard universal adapter without any USB ports and also doesn't convert voltage. I did mention it in the written part of my review here: packinglite.co/universal-travel-adapter/
Yes, I did click on the link, also not sure if you mentioned this but will that adapter covert a European cell phone charger to an American charger, (The same one on the very right)
Chinese plug just in case. My USB charger that I bought comes only with US plug and instert plugs with EU and UK only. I plugged my UK one into Aussie Chinese adapter
The Skross does not accept a three prong plug for safety reasons as it does not provide grounding. None of these provide grounding. Also none of these should be used with high power devices like hair dryers. Skross has a better one but it is a two piece one. Do not use an adapter whose functionality you do not completely understand. You could die.
Somewhat personal preference yes. But I would say the Skross is the best for most people and the Road warrior for those looking for the lightest option

I was waiting for the One with the green button, is that one good enough?
NO !! Don't Use It !!!

+Andrew Joy yeah I saw that recently, I prefer the skross one personally

1:07 That is REALLY DANGEROUS travrl adapter because all of the other plugs are live when plugging it into the wall.
4:23 that’s Chinese plug. Australan plug adapters are mostly 2 pins (used in Argentina, Australia, NZ).

Recently I took a trip to Italy and BESTEK travel adapter took care of all power needs. More importantly, it's suitable for the hairdryer.
Good video, but maybe to SKROSS or the black one adapter you should insert grounded european plug but these adapters hasn't ground pin. So it's maybe dangerous. What do you think?
I found this adapter that is grounded amzn.to/2vcuZkr looks quite similar to the SKROSS. Havent tried it yet but I may do
@@PackingLess the standard eu plug still isnt grounded loolz...

oh yay the DEADLY one great!
Can i use it on a clothing dryer
I wouldnt think so
1:44 The pins look straight. Europlug pins need to be bent inwards.

What would you recommend for adapting and converting Euro plugs for American plugs?
+YaYa the black one in this video is good, the skross is my favorite though packinglite.co/universal-travel-adapter/
Alright! Thanks for getting back to me so quickly.
YaYa I also chaned to US replaceable plugs from my European low wattage 230V appliances to be used in the Philippines like Panasonic alarm clock radios, etc...
Most of the Philippines uses US 2 pin outlets (Outlets from Panasonic brands).
The second one (black, 1min 10 sec) was broken (sliding pin) while in my bag.
Mines still working okay however my Skross one stopped working recently.

Martin Grimes
Australia uses Slanted flat plug Type I. Which they used on 3 pin outlets in China but they used Japan/Euro for 2 pin outlets in China.
Martin Grimes I'll use a half cut single US flat pin plug to plug on or paperclip Australian style 3 pin Chinese outlet. First, plug the ground earth plug that you chiseled in half of used US plugs and plug your 2 pin AU flat diagonal pin to Chinese 3 pin outlet while flat pin earth outlet plugged in. Just like plugging Europlug to UK outlet without an adaptor using a pen to plug on UK earth pin outlet while trying to plug a europlug outlet (phone chargers)
3:29 Never use anything like that. They are very dubious. No grounding is supported. One can insert the plug incorrectly and get shocked.
Is the red one can convert UK plug to other plug??
Yes it can
Thx.
with skross can i use both usb ports and a conection at same time? (i mean, 3 things charging at the same time)
+Ivan VaOl Yes 3 things are able to be charged with the SKROSS. I did a written review of the green button charger here: packinglite.co/universal-travel-adapter/
+Packing Lite thanks, i like your page ;)
+Ivan VaOl Thanks for checking it out :)
Sorry for my bad english but I have to ask you how can I conect my laptop in the chargewox adapter? :(
Some adapters aren't grounded and don't accept 3 pronged laptop plugs
For a LG G5 phone which can I use?? for European countries , thanks
Any would work but I personally recommend the Skross adapter (amzn.to/2qheb8H)
Thank you !
do these adaptors convert voltage?
no, very few do
Packing Lite Also Philippines uses US outlets on 220V.
I almost buy that black one. It was nice built But after see this video.. i change my mind
You didnt explain the one on the very right hand side :(, Looks something very similar on amazon, but great video none the less!
+Afshaad Namirani The one of the far right is a standard universal adapter without any USB ports and also doesn't convert voltage. I did mention it in the written part of my review here: packinglite.co/universal-travel-adapter/
Yes, I did click on the link, also not sure if you mentioned this but will that adapter covert a European cell phone charger to an American charger, (The same one on the very right)
+Afshaad Namirani Yes it would work, voltage conversion is not a problem unless you're using something high powered like a hair dryer or shaver.
Thank you very much for the quick response :D
No problem, thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the video, I will go buy that Skross charger haha.
Good choice, its the one I still use for most trips
Yes, the SKROSS is the best choice of these shown adapters
Killerspieler0815 yup. great for my trip to Singapore
Thank you so much for doing this valuable review.
I gave this video a thumbs, and subscribed to your channel.
شكرا In Arabic
+Mohammad Jaradat thank you
none of these videos tell me how to put a 2 or 3 prong American chord into these things; if i even can
+Mitchell they all fit 2 pronged plugs but the skross doesn't fit 3 pronged plugs
Packing Lite thank you for telling me. Do you know any that support 3 prongs
get the mogics bagel
I have heard about it, would definitely like to try it out one day
Leave it to the Japanese to create a modular transformer for a travel power adapter lmao
kinda useless. can you include a demo with it plugging in?
4:15 this travel adapter is so dangerous don't buy
I actually never personally used that one (nor would I recommend it), I just found it laying around the house.
Chinese plug just in case. My USB charger that I bought comes only with US plug and instert plugs with EU and UK only. I plugged my UK one into Aussie Chinese adapter
The Skross does not accept a three prong plug for safety reasons as it does not provide grounding. None of these provide grounding. Also none of these should be used with high power devices like hair dryers.

Do not use an adapter whose functionality you do not completely understand. You could die.
Simple answer none
