SublimeWare JY304 - Power Plug Adapter w/4 USB Ports (White Silver)

I usually write reviews on products I love, and those I don’t. So how this product slipped through the cracks I don’t know. But this product DESERVES to be reviewed! So, here’s my take since 2019, after 5 years of use! The biggest compliment I can give this product is that it has worked faithfully, every time, for 5 years. I bought three of these at the same time, and I’m so glad I did. I travel internationally very frequently, usually at least once a month, to Asia (China, Thailand, Taiwan, Malaysia, Indonesia, and others), Europe (France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, England, and others, South America (Brazil) and Mexico. NEVER has this converter to connect me to the local outlets! I usually use at a minimum two of the converters on each trip. One as a bedside unit, powering my iPhone mag charger, my Apple Watch mag charger, and my CPAP machine (essential! And the other one in the bathroom for electric toothbrush and hair trimmer. Sometimes I use the third unit at the desk for my laptop. If not, I keep the third in my backpack for my laptop and occasionally to recharge my phone on long business days. The fact that I can power several accessories easily, especially with the 2.5 and 2.0 USB outlets, and normal 120/240 outlets (it is NOT a transformer! So make sure whatever you are plugging in can handle the native voltage of the country. Which most electronics can). This has allowed me to keep everything powered for all my trips. So, if you are a traveling business person like me you will quickly find these an essential, must bring, part of my travel kit. Or, if like me, you are also a dad and husband and travel on vacation with the family, you’ll find these adaptors essential packing. I never take these out of my travel bag, as I don’t want to go anywhere without them! So, what I can say is… Buy these, use them, and you’ll never have to worry about the country you’re going to! Buy with confidence… knowing that I’ve put these through the mill with a 5 year long term test!!! Awesome.

The SublimeWare Model 304 (hyperlink listed below) is a must-have electronics gadget for anyone who travels to multiple continents and countries around the world. The adapter offers three main country options, e.g. USA/AUS, UK, and EU, but any country compatible with these three protocols will likely be supported as well. SublimeWare claims that the adapter will work in as many as 150 countries world-wide. NOTE: the Model 304 is only a plug adapter and not a power converter. Hence, it should work well with any dual-band, high tech device that is designed for 110-240 volt and 50-60 hertz power input. This could include many laptop computers, tablets, and smartphones, but it is best to check the actual power requirements for the device that is printed somewhere on the chassis or ac/dc charger (i.e. "brick"). If you cannot locate this information on the device itself, then an online source might be the next best option, if and only if you can identify the exact same item and model number. Conversely, many legacy devices like hair dryers, curling irons, portable alarm clocks, small personal fans, etc. most likely will not work correctly without the use of a power converter in addition to the plug adapter. If this is the case, then one should do thorough research and due diligence when selecting the right power converter for the destination in question. The Model 304 is approximately 1-1/2" by 1-1/2" by 2" in size, or slightly smaller than a tennis ball if it were "squared off." Three different outlet plug configurations can be selected, one at a time, by using sliders on one side of the adapter. The release catch is located on the opposite side of the adapter, and only slight pressure is needed to press the tab and gently push the pins back into the case for storage and travel. You may notice a small black switch on the front of the adapter (i.e. the side that the pins protrude from) that changes depending on the sliders used for choosing the country, but it is an Auto Control Switch and functions, well, automatically. One standard electrical cord can be plugged into the back of the adapter, and up to four USB devices can be plugged into the top of the adapter, all at she same time if desirable. So if travel space and simplicity are a premium, test out your devices on this adapter at home, and then leave all of the chargers that use USB connections at home...but not your laptop brick and cord 'eh. For those of you who live (and die) by Murphy's Law, you might want to purchase and carry two of these handy little multi-function adapters during your travels. Remember, redundancy was an integral part of NASA's Apollo missions to the moon, and I would bet that they used a backup device or process at least once in the course of the six successful moon landings (11, 12, 14, 15, 16, and 17). You might even keep one of the two adapters in your favorite carry-on luggage in between flights to avoid the, "Oh, crap! I left my adapter at home," right about the time you pull up to Departures/Ticketing/Gates. So, all in all, this international travel electronics plug adapter is small but mighty. If you have numerous adapters already, adding this one can simplify your travel life. If you're in the market for your first travel adapter, then this one would be hard to pass up. Just remember...a plug adapter is not a power converter. The simple rule is: you will always need a plug adapter when traveling abroad to non-USA/AUS locales (or even the US if you like the four USB connection option); you might also need a separate power converter depending on circumstances. Basically, know before you go, and test everything at home before you "fly the friendly skies" (or head off "into the wild blue yonder"...your call on which cliche fits best). Power Plug Adapter - International Travel - w/4 USB Ports work for 150+ Countries - 220 Volt Adapter - Travel Adapter Type C Type A Type G Type I for UK Japan China EU Europe European By SublimeWare

I was in search of an international travel adapter because I was tired to buying different power adapters for different countries. Was excited to come across this one because it truly can be used worldwide. It is perfect for my upcoming Europe trip because I don't need to bring both type G and type C chargers for UK vs rest of Europe. This product is no frills and works as advertised. The best part is you can charge several devices at once with the power adapter's generous 4 USB ports and a single outlet. No need to fight over the charger anymore because everyone can charge their phones on this device. I like the sliding mechanism for the different typed prongs. It locks perfectly. Make sure the power adapter lights up to know a current is flowing through before turning on your plugged in devices. Product comes with a nice little protective case, which I found to be a nice touch. I have tried it with Chinese household products type I prongs, converting to the US power plug. My hairdryer and rice cooker works perfectly. The US power plug fits snug into both wall outlets and power strips. Also, I have plugged in my phone to charge and the USB ports seem to provide fast charging. I have yet to try it in Europe but will update my review if it performs anything less than 5 stars.

No complaints at all about this gadget. Have used it all over Europe with no problem (UK, Greece, Crete, Croatia, etc). Packs well and easy to use, reliable. It’s pretty light, and the 4 USB ports are a great bonus. Thumbs up.

Used to carry an adapter, power bar and at least 3 (usually up to 5 or 6 between the two of us) usb wall adapters, plus all the cables. Those add up in both, space, and weight, and being a budget traveller with a backpack it always seems you end up with no more space and a ton of weight. This little gadget kills the need for a specific adapter, power bar and all the usb wall adapters, just bring your mess of cables, because it has it all in one extremely light device. Being now a days, most devices are usb charging anyways, you can plug them all into this little handy unit. It even works in your own country thanks to the multiple slide out prongs to adapt to any wall plug. I am going to buy a few more to stash in my bags, suitcases and car so I never leave the house without one again. I will never travel without one of these again, ever! Total game changer.

When I went on my trip to Greece this charger really helped me out alot when it came to charging my phone and my other accessories i.e. Portable charger, wireless earbuds and my Nintendo Switch. Great International Charger and it was a great find for any one who needs a charger for when they travel to a new place.

It worked really well. We have not taken it out of the country yet but I have tested it at home. It charged samsung s8 and 3 go pro batteries all at the same time and it charged the same time as they are in their individual chargers. I do love that it as an outlet on its's side. So, you can still charge your laptop in there or any other plug you have as long as they are 100-250 Volts, of course. ;) Great Product! Well worth the money. Handy and easy to toss in your hand carry. I do love that it as a bag as well.

I used this adapter on my travels throughout Europe and it came in so handy! Not only does the ability to quickly pop out any socket size come in handy but the usb ports on the bottom are so convenient! Before I had a big bulky charger with cables this thing is so small and compact you can just throw it in any bag and go.
