Travel adapters are mandatory to use if you’re someone that travels quite a lot and that’s because you have to adapt to the changing power adapters that each country has.

Of course, we’re talking about international travel in this case, and if you’re someone that does travel internationally quite a bit then you know that your appliances can’t always be used within that country because they use different power adapters. As a result, this DuaFire Universal Power Adapter is something that can be very useful to use.

This Travel adapter has plugs that you can use in various other countries, and it also enables you to plug in different adapters too. The design, usability and power capabilities of this device all come together to make it highly reliable travel adapter to have on you at all times during your international and also, national travels too.

Power

Output Charging:

The Travel adapter actually has two USB-A charging ports that can be very useful to use for charging smartphones, tablets and basically all other devices that use USB for charging.

The charging speed of each of the ports is 5V/2.4A, and that’s pretty good. At the same time, the max output of the USB-A charging ports is 2.4 Amps, so you’re only able to use the max power of 2.4A through a single port, otherwise, when you use two ports at once the 2.4A output is split.

With that said, 2.4A charging power is enough to change most standard devices such as the iPad at its max charging speed. Or smartphones that are not compatible with Quick Charge. Overall, the fact that this Travel adapter uses USB-A charging ports basically means that you’re always going to have a way to charge your smartphone no matter where you are.

AC Adapter Powering:

As you could have guessed a travel adapter has quite a lot options with its powering abilities and that’s because this one has a total of 4 plugs for you to use. Also, you’re able to plug in an appliance and power it because it has four different types of adapter holes.

Power from the AC outlet portion of this travel is actually quite good as it’s 660W at 110V. Then it’s capable of 1380W at 230V. As a result, you’re able to plug things like a Power Delivery USB-C wall charger into this travel adapter in order to charge your USB-C compatible laptops at their max charging speed.

Or you can plug in other DC laptop chargers too.

Plugging in high powered appliances is also possible, but you should first take a look at the power capabilities of the appliances that you’re plugging in before actually using it. As the Voltage and Wattage amount are not on the same level as a normal AC wall outlet.

Design

Size and Weight:

This is as compact as a travel adapter can be, but truth be told, this adapter isn’t very small or slim and that’s because it has a purpose behind its build. As it holds three types of adapters, buttons, circuitry for the AC portion of the adapter and also pieces of the USB-A charging ports. Considering all the things that it has, the size and weight of this adapter are absolutely great.

It has a length of 2.6 inches, a thickness of 2 inches and a width of 2.2 inches. The weight of the Travel adapter is 5.2 Ounces. So you’re not going to be having any trouble traveling with this adapter as it’s simply a small cube and throwing this into your handbag is the best course of action as it’ll fit very easily.

Functional Components:

There are quite a few functional parts on this Travel Adapter and it makes sense that there are quite a few things, as it has many different adapters that you can use and different ways of accessing those adapters.

Here are the different adapters that you’re going to be able to find on different sides of the travel adapter:

USA/AUST Adapter – Accessed through a Button scroller

UK Adapter – Accessed through a Button scroller

EU Adapter – Accessed through a button switch that pops the adapter open

Then on one side is where you’ll find many Outlets that you can use to plug in an adapter too. On another side is where there are the two USB charging ports which are lined up horizontally to each other.

At the location of where the Europe adapter is, is where you’ll find the Used Fuse and a Spare Fuse for the travel adapter.

Overall, there’s a lot going with this DuaFire travel adapter, but with that said, it doesn’t matter too much as it’s all organized with buttons and labels clearly defining what is where.

Build

Structure and Material:

This travel adapter has a very good build quality and that’s a very good thing when you consider that this is meant to go with you everywhere. Most of the build is a culmination of hard plastic and also rubber too. It all comes together to make a rather rugged build quality adapter that you will have no problems keeping secure.

Tech:

On the tech side, there isn’t really much to say other than that what matters most is that you don’t plug in an appliance that exceeds that powering abilities of this travel adapter. Doing so can potentially blow the fuse. That said, luckily this travel adapter actually has a spare fuse that you can use just in case the one you’re using does blow out.

Reliability

A travel adapter’s purpose is meant to be reliable and that’s because of its use of many adapters to be used in different parts of the world. This DuaFire universal travel adapter does just that.
