Need a surge protector that works with all foreign plugs? I throw one of these in my suitcase when I travel internationally. It solves multiple problem. The sockets accepts US or any foreign plugs. Acts as a surge protector. Adds additional outlets for your travel electronics. It's useable in the US too.

Be sure your devices accept the local voltage before use. It is not a voltage converter. The voltage requirements of devices are written on the device or adapter.

This version has a wall plug for Germany or France. Note, the sockets are not recessed but I never find that an issue.

This is actually a great gift for a travel warrior or host.

When I travel in Europe I bring two cameras, a DVR, and a netbook computer. Each has a charger rated for 100-240 volts so no transformers are needed. With this surge strip I can charge everything overnight from one electric outlet in my B&B, hostel, or hotel room. Normally there is only one outlet available in a room so this power strip is really necessary. Sometimes I must unplug a lamp to have access to an outlet. The strip has six "universal" grounded outlets which accept American and European plugs. The cord has the continental European grounded plug so no plug adapter is needed. It also has an on-off switch and a resettable overload circuit breaker for safety.

American power strips are rated for only 110 volts. They are a potential fire hazard when used with Europe's 240 volt electricity.

We got this for our fifth trip to Bali, which uses Euro plugs and 220V current. As a serious underwater photographer I'm amazed I didn't get this sooner. I was using nearly every outlet on this every night, recharging my camera, light, image bank, etc. plus running my shaver and whatnot. It was up to the challenge, was surprisingly light, and the clever sockets did indeed accommodate a wide variety of plugs. Bringing this let us leave a bunch of adapters at home. And our hotel rooms often had just one outlet outside the bathroom, making this an essential item in our baggage. Yet here in the States you could use this just fine with this simple addition of one American plug adapter. Highly recommended.
