Best Plug Adapters for When the Cultural Differences Strike

When traveling abroad for the first time it's easy to forget that sockets aren't the same in Europe as they are in America or another country. So, it is better to avoid the trouble of not having a power source at hand way in advance and purchase a handy plug adapter of acceptable standard type. The BESTEK set of plug adapters can be the right choice. 8 adapters all grounded and fit for different standards that come in a set are designed to be used with a variety of electronics you may need to bring along with you on trips (except for some high power appliances such as heaters, hair dryers, etc). Each adapter from the set is made of high-quality plastic with a print telling you which socket type it supports. Keep in mind, plug adapters do not convert the power, they only retain the current level of the plug. Therefore, you may also want to purchase a plug converter additionally.

With the Ceptics Adapter Plug Set at hand, you will never be cut off the power source regardless of the country you travel to. The box contains five different adapters that accept B, C, G, E/F, and I standard types correspondingly and are compatible with chargers as well. Considering that the maximum voltage for these adapters is 250 V, you will not have any problem powering your appliances in most countries of the world. The adapters come with a cloth bag for convenient and safe transportation. The Ceptics adapter plugs are covered with lifetime manufacturer warranty so you can be sure they will last you years. Like in most similar products, each plug has a print that guides users through the types of sockets it is designed to be used with.

Plug adapters may come in useful not only on travels but also in household. Like in the case with the plug by Orei. As it features two receptacles, it can be used as an additional adapter in your living room, allowing you to plug in more devices when there aren't enough ports at hand. The Orei is compatible with the sockets of Type E/F and is suitable for almost all parts of Europe except for Switzerland, UK, and Italy. The plug is made of plastic and has metal internal connectors for improved conductivity. However, we strongly recommend you to check the voltage requirements of your appliances before plugging them in via the adapter, since the Orei plug, like the rest of adapters, doesn't convert the power level. The maximum voltage capacity of the plug is 250 V with the max current of 13 A. The amperage this high allows for very quick charging of mobile devices. 

The Ceptics set of three adapters is designed to be used in all parts of Europe as well as the USA and will not work only in South Africa, therefore, unless your travel destination is RSA, you can bring it along with you safely. These adapters are made to match the highest quality standards and feature an improved conductivity design, with each adapter being grounded for use in Russia, France, and Germany. Please note the voltage peak for connected devices should not exceed 3000 V, otherwise, this may lead to a short circuit and even a fire. One of our reviews deals with surge protectors that help prevent disastrous consequences of current spikes. If the current isn't stable in your place, make sure to get one to secure yourself and your family.

For those consumers hunting out for products produced in Europe but living abroad, the BoxWave adapter will be of great use. With the adapter like this in your household, you will be able to buy electronics from eBay and Amazon without worrying it won't work in your state. The plug is compact, easy to use, and has a print with explanatory tips. It works with chargers as well as the VersaCharger PRO. Now, coming to the safety side, it is not recommended to use this adapter with appliances that have power capacity over 220 V. The internal metal connectors aren't that strong to endure such a high current and may break into flame. So, hair dryers, heaters, flat irons and things like these should be avoided. The adapter fits snugly in sockets and doesn't fall out unless you pull it hard. 

Electric devices are as helpful as they are dangerous. Short circuits aren't a rarity, alas, and happen to occur more often these days. In order to prevent a fire, it's advisable to mount a smoke detector in rooms where you most often use electric appliances.
