The adapter is compact and well-built, featuring a sturdy design that can withstand the rigors of travel. It fits in the of your hand (adults) and takes no luggage space at all.

Perfect accessory for travelers to Europe
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
I travel to Europe yearly, so it made sense to purchase a power strip with a type C plug rather than traveling with multiple adapters. Even with a 3-foot cord, it's the perfect travel-friendly extension cord. I love that there are three standard USA outlets, as well as two each USB-C and USB-A ports. Even better, it's lightweight and doesn't take up much room in my luggage. It's very reasonably priced, has great functionality, and I highly recommend it for fellow travelers.

Best plug if you are traveling to France or Europe
Style: Type C/G/A-Most Countries-3FT
If you ever need a European plug, this is the one to get. I took it with me to France for a whole month and it was a life saver. I was able to plug all my electronics and also have no issues with the conversion of watts. Now that I have it I take it with me anytime I travel to Europe.
