Four sockets and four USB ports from one Type C plug
LENCENT PA050USEU 8-in-1 Europe adapter
The cheapest adapter in this hub, turning one European socket into eight — and publishing its amperage, which almost nothing here does.
Nine dollars and ninety-nine cents, and it does the one thing a hotel room in Europe needs: turns a single socket into four, with four USB ports beside them and a four-sided body so a bulky laptop brick does not cover the other three. It is the cheapest thing in the American half of this hub.
It is also better specified than most of this shelf. Two thousand five hundred watts at 250 volts and ten amps — three figures that agree with each other, where several listings here publish a wattage alone. Ten amps is what the internal contacts have to carry, and it also tells you that the four outlets share the rating rather than each having it. The size and weight are published, 2.3 by 1.6 by 3.1 inches and 4.2 ounces; the per-port USB output is published down to the volts and amps; and the page says outright that the USB-C ports do not support Quick Charge 3.0, which is the kind of absence most listings leave you to discover. CPAP machines get a specific mention, which matters to the people it matters to.
What it does not say is whether a grounded plug will connect. The buying tip at the top of this page exists for that reason: a European socket may be an ungrounded two-pin or an earthed Schuko, and an earthed plug cannot be made to fit a two-pin adapter safely. Of the eight adapters in the American half of this hub, one states that it supports three-pin grounded plugs and one states clearly that it does not. This is among the six that say nothing. There is no fuse mentioned either, and the page states there is no surge protection — which is honest, and is not the same claim.
Two limits to keep in view. It is Type C only: the first bullet notes the UK, Ireland and Scotland need Type G, so it covers one region where four adapters on this shelf cover four. And it is not a voltage converter — a 110 V-only hair dryer will not run on it, which is the warning at least six of the eleven listings here print and one product on this shelf actually solves.

What travelers ask
Does it support a grounded plug?
The page does not say, and that is the gap this shelf's buying tip is about. A European Type C socket outlet can be an ungrounded two-pin or a grounded Schuko, and a device with an earthed plug physically cannot connect through a two-pin adapter — forcing it is unsafe rather than inconvenient. Of the eight adapters in the American half of this hub, one states that it supports a three-pin grounded connection and one states clearly that it does not. This is among the six that are silent, so a laptop charger with an earth pin is a question to resolve before buying.
Why does publishing the amperage matter?
Because watts alone do not tell you what the adapter will pass. Two thousand five hundred watts at 250 volts is ten amps, and ten amps is the figure the internal contacts and the fuse — if there is one — have to carry. Publishing all three numbers is what lets you check that they agree, and most listings on this shelf publish a wattage and stop. What the figure also tells you is that the four AC outlets share the rating between them rather than each having it.
Is one region a limitation?
It is the trade for the price. This is a Type C plug and nothing else, and the first bullet says so plainly, including the note that the UK, Ireland and Scotland use Type G. Four adapters on this shelf are universal and cover Type A, C, G and I from one body; this does one region, with eight outputs instead of four or five. For a trip entirely inside continental Europe it is the better purchase at a third of the price; for a trip with a London stopover it is the wrong one.
