TLDR Review: EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter

Yes, the EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter (TA-105C) is versatile, but it does have some limitations, especially when it comes to grounding. According to the manufacturer, this adapter isn't grounded, which means it might not offer the same level of electrical safety for devices that need grounding for safe operation.

Even though it can handle devices up to 2000W, it's not the best choice for high-power appliances like hair dryers, curling irons, or electric kettles. Our research suggests that even if these devices support dual voltage, the 10A fuse might blow if too much power is drawn, which could pose safety risks or damage the adapter itself.

We've found that high-power devices often either don't turn on or cause the adapter to malfunction. One person mentioned, 'Don't expect to use a hair dryer on it or other items that take a bigger charge,' and that's pretty consistent with what we found.

It's also worth noting that this adapter doesn't convert voltage. So, you'll need to make sure your devices support dual voltage (100-240V, 50/60Hz) to avoid damaging them.

This adapter is really designed for low-power electronics like laptops, smartphones, and tablets, which it can charge quite effectively through its versatile AC outlet and five USB ports (3 USB-C and 2 USB-A).

The EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter (model TA-105C) has some neat safety features like a 10A fuse, safety shutters, and RoHS, CE, and FCC certifications.

But, heads up—it doesn't convert voltage. It only changes the plug type to fit various outlets. So, if your devices need a specific voltage, you'll need a separate voltage converter.

The manufacturer's description mentions that it comes with a built-in 10A fuse, but no extras are included. Our research suggests taking along some extra fuses, just in case. You can find compatible ones by searching 'TA-105C replacement fuse' on Amazon.

Just make sure to grab the Epicka 10A fuses to avoid any headaches during your travels.

Hey! So, the EPICKA Universal Travel Adapter isn't really meant for hair dryers or any other high-power devices.

The manufacturer specifically mentions not to use it with gadgets over 2000W, like hair dryers, irons, and electric kettles.

The main issue is the built-in 10A fuse—it can't handle that much power and could fail, which isn't safe.

From what we've found, a lot of people have had trouble when trying to use high-wattage devices with this adapter.

If you need to use a hair dryer or something similar, you'd be better off getting an adapter that's designed for higher wattage.
