TESSAN European Travel Plug Adapter Converter (Type C) with 2 USB
Quick take
This TESSAN plug adapter helps you use US plugs in many Type C European outlets while adding two built-in USB ports and two AC outlets so you can charge several small devices at once. It is lightweight and simple for hotels, dorms, and airport layovers, but it does not convert voltage, so dual-voltage appliances are still required.
Pros and cons
Pros
- Turns one Type C (European) socket into 2 US-style AC outlets plus 2 USB charging ports
- Built-in USB supports up to 2.4A per port for phones, tablets, cameras, and similar gadgets
- Compact, pocket-friendly design with no cords, intended for travel convenience
- Designed for wide compatibility across many Type C countries (some places may require a different plug type)
Cons
- Not a voltage converter, so non-dual-voltage appliances may fail or be unsafe
- May not fit everywhere, some countries require different plug types (for example, the UK and Ireland)
- Two AC outlets and a blocky body can still take space in tighter sockets
What buyers think
Buyer-review evidence is broadly positive, with recurring themes around reliable physical fit in Type C outlets, straightforward setup, and the convenience of charging multiple devices at once. Reviews often mention that the USB plus dual AC outlets reduce the need for extra chargers in hotels or dorm rooms. There is also consistent emphasis that this is a plug adapter, not a voltage converter, and that charging works well for electronics that handle a wide input voltage, while typical single-voltage hair and grooming tools may not work correctly (some reports describe failures when devices were not dual voltage).
What this adapter actually does (and what it does not)
The TESSAN European Travel Plug Adapter Converter is designed to adapt plug shape for US users traveling to many Type C countries. It also expands one European outlet into two AC outlets (for US-style flat-pin plugs) and two USB ports for smaller electronics.
Important limitation: it is not a voltage converter. If your device only accepts 110V or 125V (common for many hair dryers, straighteners, and electric shavers), it will not magically become compatible just because it plugs in. For travel across Europe, you want appliances that support 100V to 250V dual voltage.
Compatibility, plug fit, and country coverage
This model is made for Type C sockets in Europe and lists broad country coverage across many EU and nearby regions (including places such as France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, and Iceland). However, plug standards are not uniform across Europe and the adapter is not meant to replace a correct “type” for every destination.
If your itinerary includes places that use different plug types (the listing specifically flags situations like the UK and Ireland as not supported by this Type C adapter), you will need the matching plug adapter instead.
Charging layout: two AC outlets plus two USB ports
One reason travelers like designs like this is the mix of charging options:
- Two AC outlets: for devices that use US flat-pin plugs (example uses include phone/laptop adapters, small electronics, or chargers that do not rely on USB).
- Two USB ports: useful for items like phones, tablets, earbuds, and portable devices. The USB charging is rated up to 2.4A maximum per port, which helps when you want faster phone charging than a basic 1A adapter.
A common practical benefit is reducing “stacked” chargers when you are sharing limited outlet space in a hotel room.
Pros and cons for different travelers
Best for
- US travelers going to Type C countries who want one compact adapter instead of multiple travel chargers.
- People charging phones and small gadgets (portable chargers, tablets, cameras, headsets) via USB.
- Hotel or dorm situations where multiple outlets are scarce and you want an all-in-one plug plus USB setup.
Who should avoid it
- Anyone relying on non-dual-voltage heat appliances (hair dryer, straightener, electric toothbrush, clippers, and similar). You need dual voltage or a separate voltage-conversion solution.
- Travelers whose destinations use a different plug type (for example, UK and Ireland). In those cases, a Type C-only adapter can be the wrong hardware.
- Buyers who need surge protection features should look elsewhere, since this adapter is described as having no surge protection.
So, is it worth it?
If your trip is mainly to Type C destinations and your devices are either USB-charged or accept a wide input voltage, the TESSAN adapter is a practical, space-saving way to charge more than one device from a single wall outlet. The biggest buying caveat is voltage. If you plan to run single-voltage appliances, you may end up with devices that fail to work, so it is better to confirm dual-voltage support (or choose a true voltage converter/compatible appliance) before you pack.

FAQ
Does this adapter convert voltage from the US to Europe?
No. It is a plug adapter (Type C) that does not convert voltage. It only works correctly with devices that support 100V to 250V dual voltage.
Will this work in the UK or Ireland?
This Type C adapter is not intended for UK, Ireland, or similar plug standards. For those destinations, you will need the matching adapter type.
How many devices can I charge at once?
It provides two AC outlets and two USB ports, so you can run up to four devices at the same time, depending on which ports you use.
What is the USB charging output?
The USB ports are rated to deliver up to 2.4A maximum per port, which is suitable for many phones and portable devices.
Is it bulky or hard to plug into tight outlets?
It is compact for travel, but the combined body and multi-port design can still take more space in certain wall outlets. If you use oversized plugs, double-check that your socket has enough clearance.
Final verdict
Buy the TESSAN European Travel Plug Adapter Converter if you need a Type C plug adapter plus a simple multi-device charging station for phones and other small electronics, and your key appliances are dual voltage (or you plan to avoid single-voltage heat tools). Skip it if your trip depends on the UK/Ireland plug type or you need voltage conversion for non-dual-voltage devices.
