Buying Guide: Travel Adapters and Converters

Adapter Plugs and All-In-One Adapters
Travel Smart adapter plugs change the plug shape so your device can enter a foreign wall outlet. All-in-one adapters combine several plug configurations in one compact unit, and some models include a USB port. One adapter lists two USB-A and two USB-C ports for charging several devices at once.

Wattage Converters and Converter Sets
Travel Smart wattage converters change foreign voltage so single-voltage appliances can run safely overseas. One wattage converter has a Hi/Low selector, with a low setting for shavers and battery chargers and a high setting for irons and hair dryers. The two outlet converter set lets you plug in up to three devices at once.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does Travel Smart make?
Travel Smart offers adapter plugs, all-in-one adapters with USB ports, wattage converters and a two outlet converter set. These products are for using electrical devices in other countries.

How do I choose the right adapter or converter?
Match the type letters on the product to the outlet shape you will use, and check the voltage your appliance needs. Look for the dual-voltage or single-voltage marking on the appliance label or in its manual. Match the wattage of the converter to the wattage of your device.

What is the difference between an adapter and a converter?
An adapter changes only the plug shape so it goes into a foreign outlet. A converter changes the voltage, which single-voltage appliances need. Dual-voltage appliances can be used directly with an adapter.
