Reviews around travel (5.00 of 5)

  • I purchased this because of how unique the plug was, keeping everything together in a compact travel size.
  • I bought this because it seemed like a great "travel" charger
  • And the majority of he world uses 220v, so I found it mostly unusable for myself as a convenient travel outlet.
  • I of course had the correct international travel adapter and plugged it in and it TRIPPED THE BREAKERS in our room

Reviews around work (5.00 of 5)

  • Nice and rugged, and the green LED indicates when protection is working.
  • It does work great with 110 volts, everything charges well and the plugs work like they should.
  • It may well work great in the US, but there are lots of alternatives out there, and the "Belkin Mini Surge Protector Dual USB Charger" has always been rock solid in my experience when using 220 V.
  • The two USB ports work great for not having to carry around additional power adapters

Reviews around item (4.33 of 5)

  • If you want a good quality item, then purchase the Monster MP OTG400 BK Outlets To Go Power Strip - 4 AC Outlets
  • This item failed and began blowing circuit breakers after about 10 months of occasional use - which is a potential safety and fire hazard
  • I bought several electrical adapters as well as this item for an upcoming trip to Israel
  • Good rating and easy to protect items without using a full power strip.

Reviews around outlet (4.23 of 5)

  • I thought that perhaps it was just a bad outlet, and moved the surge protector to another outlet
  • The three outlets give me enough to plug in any electronic device which needs to use an outlet, the USB ports charge my smart watch and phone.
  • Great for hotel rooms where you don't have quite enough outlets and you need to charge things via USB.
  • Do you ever check into a hotel and find that there is not enough power outlets for all your tech
  • Hotels never seem to have enough wall outlets and this extension was perfect.

Reviews around design (4.10 of 5)

  • My hands are not large by any means and this design poses a safety issue with me.
  • so I don't know if the design is defective or not.
  • This is a far better design for travel as you cannot predict if you are going to have enough space to plug in a huge monstrosity directly onto the outlet.
  • I like the design of the product but either my cables are not making the correct contact or something else is going on
  • the cable wraps around the unit, that is the best design ever.

Reviews around product (3.50 of 5)

  • Been looking all over for a small power strip for travel that will take care of my recharge needs while traveling, this one does it without taking up all the room in my bag that a standard power stip/surge protector does. great product.
  • I would recommend the product to everyone that is looking for a compact surge protector to use while traveling.
  • This product is a major disappointment, if not an outright misrepresentation.
  • Good product, great for traveling and handy to have in the backpack to share a single outlet when needed in a busy airport or crowded meeting room.
  • I wanted to like the Tripp Lite TRAVELER3USB because Tripp Lite makes great products

Reviews around plug (3.34 of 5)

  • Great idea, compact flexible awesome when plugged into universal travel converter.
  • Great idea, compact flexible awesome when plugged into universal travel converter.
  • For those of us who travel a lot, many hotels' plugs are frequently difficult to reach, let along having to plug it "right side up".
  • but I mainly purchased this one because of the right angle plug.
  • It is exactly what I was looking for to in order to gain some extra scarce plugs in airports and to leave a couple of chargers at home

Reviews around usb port (3.28 of 5)

  • Did not work in London or Ireland - kept blowing fuses or breakers at hotels and B&B's
  • I read a few reviews saying the USB ports do not work well on this
  • The three power plugs are enough to set up a small mobile office and the two USB ports make charging mobile devices easy.
  • However, the USB ports failed to work after a year or so

Reviews around unit (3.17 of 5)

  • I'm not sure if the two sockets are paralleled, and thus want different voltages or current levels than the unit van provide, if the unit is just current limited, or what.
  • I had another, slimmer unit from another company, but it died
  • I would recommend this unit from monoprice which charges my iPad 2 and iPhone 4 simultaneously through USB and costs about half ).
  • This is a USB power supply and surge protector all in one, a nice compact unit, and nicely priced for what you get.
  • It's a great little unit, but I have to take it from five stars to three because an item of this caliber should be able to charge two smartphones at once

Reviews around time (1.62 of 5)

  • every time I plugged it in it blew a fuse in my hotel room
  • The net effect is that I have everything I had before plus this device in my computer bag and am frustrated every time I try to use it--hard to argue in favor of a product that makes you act stupid and feel helpless.
  • I bought this for use in ireland to convert the wattage when we got over there, the first time I plugged it in it blew the circuits in the hotel.
  • It claims to be useful for travel, but if you travel internationally it will blow up the first time you plug it in.
  • 4S.Very dissapointing,Better luck next time Tripplite.

  • (A loud pop and a large scare, followed by darkness in my hotel room).

Reviews around fuse (1.00 of 5)

  • We used an adapter for it, and each time we tried to use it, it blew a fuse.
  • You would expect that a "Traveler" power strip would offer a worldwide voltage compatibility of 120-240V, but no, this device only supports 110V. My fault for still having faith in humanity and not paying attention to the specs, but this power strip will blow a fuse when trying to use in Europe
  • every time I plugged it in it blew a fuse in my hotel room

Reviews around room (1.00 of 5)

  • It will allow you to get that little extra length in those poorly designed hotel rooms and because it is so small, you can throw it in your carry on.
  • First time it was plugged in it blew the entire rooms
  • I plugged this thing into a UK outlet in my hotel by using a plug adapter (not a voltage converter) and it immediately blew up the room.

Reviews around smell (1.00 of 5)

  • It does the job, I had it plugged at a hotel for almost three days with my laptop AC Adapter going through it, but heats up to the point that it gives me the impression it is ready to catch fire, and smells like it is burnt (a carbon smell) on the inside.
  • Electrical pop, burning smell and black ash all over my hand, the first time I plugged it in.
  • AND BURNED/SINGED SMELL GOT PRODUCED FROM TRIPP SOCKET
