If you planning on visiting foreign countries, you HAVE TO have a power adapter. I wouldn’t even trust using a 110V 60Hz outlet if I saw one available in another country simply because the risk of frying your electronics simply isnt worth taking. Like in not using the metric system; the united states refuses to follow the most common method in power of 220 volts 50Hz AC; so if you plan on using your phone charger, laptop or any other devices that need a power supply, your going to not be able to use them.

I like that this adapter not only comes with the standard common inputs, it has 2 usb ports as well. The adapter has retractable prongs on the back to make it simple to fit easily in a small case without the risk of breaking off a prong. The hard zipper case is lightweight and of high quality and can easily fit in your baggage, or even a pants pocket if you travel without baggage. All of the adapters and prongs are made of a hard plastic that really feel durable and shouldn’t degrade/break over a ton of usage.

I will be using this item for many years as a traveler so that I will be able to safely use my laptop to teach my nursing students. Great value/quality make this a must have.
