I was curious so I opened the adapter up when it arrived. Looks to have 16AWG wiring. 16AWG could easily handle the 12-15A that a blow dryer will draw. The wiring is not going to catch on fire, but it might get warm to the touch, and I wouldn't use it to power something drawing 12A indefinitely based on it being 16AWG.

If you want to be precautious, the IEC C14 input socket it uses for the adapters is only rated for 10A, that's what I would use as the limit for continuous use.


A blow dryer, or really any high current device is a really weird use case though for a travel adapter like this in my view. Blow dryers are almost always single voltage range devices, that's why they're almost always provided, so you're not going to be plugging your NA blow dryer into a European outlet, or vice verse. Most high current devices are quite large too, so you wouldn't be traveling with them.

Honestly, people worrying about a really strange edge case for a travel device is rather overblown. This is for travel use, not to simultaneously charge your phone, use your hair dryer and coffee maker from the same outlet.

The USB power supply looks fine too. Plenty of creepage spacing from the AC side, 105C rated capacitors, and a UL approved 2A fast blow fuse for the USB power supply.

There's adequate strain relief on the AC power cord too.


It's a cheap design, but looks adequate if you stick to a reasonable use case and aren't trying to use this to power a welder.

No info on the amp rating. I have a tavel (dual voltage) hair dryer, which I'm sure can't be used with this adapter. Also, I don't trust those usb ports. I think I would better bring a simpler cube adapter and plug phon chargers or anything else from there.

USA, Japan, Taiwan, etc use Type A plug (two flat parallel pins) and also type B plug (two flat and a grounding pin). Wish this one come with Type A plug (two flat parallel pins) also since not every outlet in Japan, USA, etc take Type B plug while you can just use Type A plug with the Type B outlet but not vice versa.

It seems the limited use is for those devices shown that may have requirements such as high wattage or ground fault protection

It shows a picture of a hair dryer and has an X through it. Likely will not work.

Cruises don't want surge protectors. It has to do with the way ships generate power.

It's trying to say only auto-ranging devices should be plugged in. Not single range devices.

even the non surge protectors. i've heard they confiscate plugs that have multiple outlets.

also they seem to confiscate any extension cords too. this one seems to apply.

I guess people are getting incomplete information about what Cruises allow.

In multiple websites/Cruise's own website, looks like neither surge protector NOR extension cord is allowed.
A quick search found these two sites
https://lifewellcruised.com/thing...uise-ship/
https://www.royalcaribbean.com/fa...ard-policy
https://disneycruise.disney.go.co...ted-items/ (prohibited extension cords, power strips, and surge protectors)

To be safe to use in most cruises, may want to get non-surge protected power bar with NO extension cord instead.

Thanks OP
I'm for 1. These look like they will help with international receptacles where the universal blocks don't stay in sometimes. Hotels. Airport lounges. This will hopefully solve that.
