What is Reddit's opinion of Ckitze USA to Europe Travel Power Plug Adapter?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

When I went to Europe, 2 years ago, all my stuff worked fine (laptop, camera, cellphone, etc) and I used a cheapo adapter plug I got at the air port for $10 bucks or so. Looked like like this https://www.amazon.com/Ckitze-Europe-Travel-Power-Adapter/dp/B001EB26MO

you plug one end to your US stuff, the other end to the wall. Not sure if the ps5 works like that, but I don't see why not...

> Just buy a cheap USB charger for $1 when you land so you have a local plug.

If he has a US charger that will work in Japan and South East Asia. Add a tiny euro converter to it (which you can get locally for like 50c) and it will work in India and Europe as well. It will also work in the UK/Ireland/Malaysia/Singapore, incidentally, you just need to press in the earth pin in the socket to get it in. This is what I travel with mostly, American plugs and that little adapter.

I'm slightly wary of the really cheap Chinese USB chargers, in my experience branded chargers tend to work better and may be less of a safety risk. I usually only use the one really cheap one I have to charge other cheap stuff that only requires a low current.

But for Japan/SE Asia US plugs work the best anyway.

I've done a couple trips, my longest so far has been four months, but here's a few notes:

• I bring the smallest travel-sized toiletries I can find and shop for replacements as I go, I consider it part of the adventure. My only exception is deodorant; it can be nearly impossible to find one I'm happy with. E.g. in Spain, they simply don't have gel deodorants (think 40deg celcius weather) so you're stuck with aerosol or roll-on if you've run out. If you're on the road for six months maybe you could have care packages sent from home for those items you can't find?
• For further adventure, drop the shaving cream and only go to local barbers.
  
• Bring some medium or large ziploc-style freezer bags, for keeping documents or electronics dry if you're out in the elements. (Sandwich bags wear out too fast)
  You'll need one for your toiletries for security if you're flying.
  
• I second the post about a large heavy duty garbage bag - bedbugs suck. It can also be a life saver as a pack liner if you're out in the rain.
  
• Get a compression sack for your sleeping bag, you can save up to half the volume. Another one for clothes or other soft gear if you don't care about getting them wrinkly - but I preferred to roll my clothes.
  
• I second the post that says bring a laundry bag - I used a couple mesh zip-up bags that were great to keep clean and dirty laundry sorted.
• I second the post about a microfibre towel - they feel weird on the skin but are like magic. If you're hand-washing clothes, wring them out, then roll them up in your towel (after you're done your shower that day) and wring them out again. My microfibre towel pulled out easily another 50% of the water, and dries fast.
  
• Consider a third-party usb charger that has multiple outlets, rated high enough that it can charge all your devices at once. Sometimes you're sharing an outlet with other travelers and it sucks to have to charge things one at a time.
  
• It looks like you have a power converter, but if you check the voltage rating of your charger, most are 100-240v and 50/60Hz and you probably only need a power adapter like this one: https://www.amazon.com/Ckitze-Europe-Travel-Power-Adapter/dp/B001EB26MOYou should be able to buy adapters in each region as you need them.
  
• I haven't traveled anywhere I really needed a water filter, but I would buy a gatorade then use it for a week or so if the tapwater was good. The gatorade bottles are tougher than most cheap water bottles.
  
• Do you have a hat? A sun hat is best, a ball cap second, either better than nothing.
  
• I would bring more cheap earplugs, it's a drag trying to wash them after they've gone skeevy.
  
• I was skeptical of Merino wool clothing but I'm a convert now; I've worn shirts five days in hot weather on the Camino with no wash, and they had no smell. I have shirts, sweaters, and socks - I found the underwear wasn't durable so I buy regular replacements if necessary as I go. I started out with three pair and ended up with six.
  
• I can't tell if those are denim jeans but I'd suggest something with a sport fabric instead. I have a pair of Kuhl hiking pants that could pass as khaki's and a button-up Prana long-sleeve shirt so I at least have the option of not looking like a total backpacker if I go to a restaurant. Footwear is tougher to blend in with, if you need hiking boots you're pretty much stuck with them.
  
• Comfortable shoes, I hope! There are times when it's nice to walk, and might be times when you have to walk.
  
• Take a look at helpx or workaway if you're looking for a way to stay cheaply and connect with locals - I haven't used them yet but have heard good things from friends.
  
• Don't forget your immunizations!

Good luck! It's always exciting to see someone else taking the leap.

Just google, they are easy to find.

Most modern power adapters can run on 110-240VAC. You may need a plug adapter for the countries you're traveling through, but otherwise, the adapter should work. This Adafruit adapter is a good example. You just need a basic adapter since the adapter itself can handle the power. Avoid the fancy, over-priced "international power adapters" that are usually inadequate power.

I travel more than most people and I carry the things listed below. You can find them around a $1. Get a handful of them. I have the UK end, the EU end and so on. From my toothbrush to my cell phone to my laptop, almost all modern devices are 110-240 50/60hz meaning you only need the end.

If the device power says 110-240 like almost all modern electronics and even my TV all you need is the following.

For Europe. You will find a lot of Euro adapters mixed with Indo-African for whatever reason they are not uniform there.

Unless absolutely necessary do not buy a power converter, they are generally cheap and have fans inside. When that thing goes, the brick gets hot enough to melt. I have had this happen with two different ones. One from Brookstone, one from random Amazon.
