We purchased three electrical adapters from Amazon.com for a recent trip to central Europe. We purchased three different models to improve our chances of at least one working well. We did not need adapters that would adapt the voltage (220 volts in EU to 110 volts for devices used in United States) because all devices we would be using have built-in voltage adapters, but we did need an adapter for the number and configuration of the plugs. The three adapters we purchased are:
- DuaFire Travel Adapter, Universal Power Adapter Plug International Wall Charger with Dual USB Ports and AC Socket for USA EU UK AU CN (Blue)
- Ougrand Travel Plug Adapter, Universal Travel Adapter, Travel Power Plug Adapter, International Power Adapter 3.4A 3 USB & 1 Type-C UK, EU, US, AUS More 170 Countries (Green)
- Yiview International Travel Adapter, Worldwide Travel Charger with 4 USB Ports Power Converters for EU, UK, US, USA, AU, Europe & Asia, All-in-one Universal Wall Plug Multi-Outlets Electrical Adaptor - White
All three worked well for allowing us to charge mobile telephones normally used in the United States with European electrical units we used on the river cruise ship (Danube River) and at the Hilton Budapest City. However, for charging larger devices (hair dryer, hair curler, laptop, etc.), only the Ougrand travel plug adapter (which also happens to currently be an "Amazon's Choice" item) worked for us. We liked that model so much that we purchased another one after returning home.
