Not a bad product design to be honest.
I already did that a few years back with my favourite power board, and chopped off the plug end and changed it so that I could plug in any IEC cable in the world.
Then you'll need to travel with a cable. IMHO, cube design is the most practical.
Fair enough. Having been to a few hotel rooms or airports with piss poor outlet placement, I am glad sometimes I have that extra bit of cable length to reach around.
Cube design is my go-to. Have the Allocococ cube plus a compact international adapter from Orico.
I swear Bunnings had something similar to think (potentially "click" brand) for sale over a year ago for $10 or $6. I grabbed one but should have grabbed more. It was 2 ac plugs, 2x USBA and 2x USBC, same shaped alternative plugs like OP's, very thick cable. (This is exactly what it is but is branded as a click item.)
What will be the output of the ports ? Can all the ports do 100w if connected to a right cable ?
USB/USB-C output
DC 5V, total 4.5A Max.
2400w over 240v
Be aware that although they label one of the adapters as ‘US/JPN’, it is a 3-pin plug and thus not useable in most Japanese power sockets, which are usually 2-pin. In Japan you typically only see 3-pin sockets in kitchen/laundry spaces for use with appliances that need grounding.
Was going to say the same. That plug is not going to work in most outlets in Japan.
Pretty weak usb output IMHO (22.5w max).
Much better to get a Zyron.
Does Zyron make one like this ? I thought they just has GaN chargers for USB - never seen one with 240V outlets as well - got a link ?
No they don't. I really only value the usb ports and 22.5w max just doesn't cut it for me.
For normal appliances i just use a $1 converter and job's done :D
What would you recommend for Japan?
Bought a couple of simple lightweight 2 pin Korjo Japan Travel Adaptors from Amazon last week for $9 each. Work in the US/Canada as well. Only have a 2 pin inlet but nothing I take o/s has 3 pins. Means I can just take my existing anker fast charger with me.
Yeah - this product is a no for me. My travel solution is to power everything off a multi-port USB charger. That only needs 2-pin mains international plugs so is more compatible.
To become a USB-only traveller I've needed to buy some special adapters for electric-toothbrush charging and electric-shaver charging.
A lot of older US power sockets are still 2-pin as well
I have this and have used it in Sri Lanka and Europe. It works well.
The black Blaupunkt from OW is much better than this, but it is $55. It at least has PD30W. The white Blaupunkt at OW is like this ($35) but no PD.
This is cheap but quite bulky compared to something like a Zyron Powerpod with it's travel adapters.
Not sure how the reliability compares
Clicked on the sale for 4 September
And got myself educated with what a 'Fat Quarter' was.
I usually just use a figure 8 cord for that country's plug on my existing fast charger, much faster than this. Also a xiaomi powerboard+ adaptor
Got 1 a few years ago, taken it to numerous countries and it’s been great.
"Infamous travel adapter kit"
Thanks for the warning.
Curious, what do people use the AC sockets for? Laptop chargers and camera charger? BYO a separate USB charger?
I just need a 2 port USB charger and a camera charger so this seems a bit overkill (and doesn't have PD).
It's all about the toaster mate
My guess would be CPAP machine, hair straightener, annoying products that don't charge over USB
Have traveled with this numerous times, it's great. The extension lead makes it much more accessible than the other "brick" converters out there.
