I have a new one now and so far so good. Yes, it seems that while the design is very handy, the build quality and components are less than perfect. We are taking ours to the US before cruising home. So trying to work out if I'll end up in the naughty room and if I'd bother collecting it if it did get confiscated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Kangakid Posted November 1, 2019 #52 Share Posted November 1, 2019 I had a problem first time I used the USB, I had it beside my bed and could smell electric burning smell. For some reason it appears the USB component has burnt out, luckily I could still use the plug component so could plug charger into that, thank goodness this worked and solved my problem, as it happened on day 1 of my 7 week Europe holiday. Could have been in a bit of a pickle otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 2, 2019 #53 Share Posted November 2, 2019 I take my US adaptor, which is a double point and have never needed more. I also have one for the Euro plugs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GUT2407 Posted November 3, 2019 Author #54 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I now just take a US and Euro to double adapter and a multi adapter with a few USB, seems to take care of everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 3, 2019 #55 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I find it easier as they work well and never get questioned. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goldconnection Posted November 3, 2019 #56 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Our multi plug outlet extender with 2 USB ports works well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandma Nomad Posted November 3, 2019 #57 Share Posted November 3, 2019 On recent Carnival cruise I had my Aldi board taken at security at Sydney Port and got it back at the end of the cruise Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare MicCanberra Posted November 4, 2019 #58 Share Posted November 4, 2019 I am surprised they took it, they are usually accepted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
