TLDR Review: Anker European Travel Plug Adapter

The Anker European Travel Plug Adapter (Type E/F) works with Type E and Type F sockets, which are common in countries like France, Germany, and Spain.

But keep in mind, it's not going to fit Type L or Type G sockets. So, if you’re heading to Italy (Type L) or the UK (Type G), you’ll need a different adapter for those places.

According to our research, some people have had trouble using this adapter in certain countries, like Italy, Spain, and Greece, because the prongs were too big for the sockets.

One person even had to return it because it didn’t fit in Italy. So, make sure to double-check the socket types of your travel destination before packing this adapter.

The Anker European Travel Plug Adapter shouldn't overheat when charging multiple devices if used correctly. It's designed for dual voltage (110-240V) devices, so keep in mind it doesn't convert voltage. The manufacturer clearly states, 'This is not a voltage converter,' so if your device only supports a single voltage like 110V, you'll need a separate converter to avoid damage.

This adapter is perfect for dual voltage devices, especially when traveling in Europe with Type E/F sockets in places like France, Germany, and Spain.

Our research shows that folks find it handy for giving multiple charging ports while fitting well into European sockets. Even though it doesn't change voltage, it does its job of charging devices well.

As for overheating, most users haven't reported significant heat issues as long as they stick to the adapter’s capacity. Just be sure not to overload it.

In essence, it's a solid choice for your dual-voltage devices, but always double-check your device's voltage and the adapter's limits for safe use.

The Anker European Travel Plug Adapter is designed for Type E/F sockets, which are common in a bunch of European countries like France, Germany, Spain, and Denmark. The manufacturer points out that this adapter works well in those places, and our data backs this up—it's pretty versatile and functional.

It comes with two AC outlets and three USB ports (2 USB-C and 1 USB-A), so you can charge multiple devices at once. Pretty handy, especially when you're traveling and need to keep everything powered up. According to our research, a lot of folks find this feature super useful.

But heads up, it's not compatible with Type L sockets, which you'll mostly find in Italy. Our research found that several people had trouble with this adapter in Italy; it just doesn't fit those Type L sockets. So if you're headed to Italy, you'll need a different adapter meant for those sockets.

For other parts of Europe, though, the Anker adapter should be great. According to many users, it works smoothly in countries with Type E/F sockets. It’s really nice to have multiple charging options without dragging around a bunch of different adapters.

So, to wrap it up, the Anker European Travel Plug Adapter is a solid pick for countries with Type E/F sockets, but you’ll need another solution for Italy due to the Type L socket issue. Make sure to double-check the socket types at your destination to be sure you’re covered.
