LENCENT 2-Pack UK to EU Travel Plug Adapters (Type E/F Schuko) with 4 USB Ports
Product description
At a glance
If you’re travelling from the UK into EU-style plug countries, you normally end up juggling a plug adapter and a separate charger (or USB hub). This LENCENT 2-pack aims to cover both: it converts a UK socket to a Type E/F Schuko-style plug, and adds multiple USB ports in the same compact block.
On paper, it’s built for everyday trips—city breaks, hotel stays, and business travel—where you want to power a phone, tablet/earbuds, and maybe a small camera setup without packing extra chargers. The big limitation to keep in mind is that it is a plug adapter, not a voltage converter, so it won’t “fix” devices that aren’t already compatible with the destination electricity.
What to know before you buy
This adapter is described as converting an UK socket into a Type E & F Schuko plug, and it’s positioned for “most European countries” (the listing specifically mentions France, Germany, Greece, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the Netherlands). It also comes with an explicit warning: it’s not for Italy or Switzerland.
Another key point: it does not convert voltage. The product information also notes you should check both the device and the destination voltage compatibility before use. In practical terms, if you rely on a device that only works on a specific voltage standard, you’ll need to confirm it supports the local supply.
For power limits, there’s a stated ceiling of do not exceed 3250 W and it mentions fire-retardant material rated at 750°C plus child safety shutters.
Where it shines (and what you’ll notice day to day)
The standout convenience here is the combination of plug conversion plus USB charging. The adapter includes 1 USB-C port (up to 3 A max) and 3 USB-A ports (up to 2.4 A max), with a stated total output of 3.4 A max. That total output figure matters: if you charge several devices at once, charging speed may depend on how your power gets distributed across ports.
A micro-scenario you’ll recognise: you arrive at a European hotel, plug this into the wall, and your phone (USB-C), headphones (USB-A), and a travel camera (USB-A) can all be on one setup. It’s the kind of thing that reduces desk clutter and avoids carrying multiple brick chargers.
It’s also reasonably light and compact for a “two-in-one” travel charger approach. The listing gives 3.01 x 2.23 x 1.33 inches dimensions and 93 g weight, which suggests it’s designed to fit in hand luggage without taking over your bag.
Pros
- Covers UK-to-EU style charging in one piece, with a Type E/F conversion for the plug side.
- Four USB ports (1 USB-C + 3 USB-A) can reduce the number of separate chargers you pack.
- Child safety shutters and fire-retardant material are part of the stated safety approach.
- Includes a 2-pack, which can be handy for keeping one at home and one in your travel bag (or for splitting with a travel partner).
Limitations and who should be cautious
This isn’t perfect for every trip. The biggest “don’t assume” item is the no-voltage-conversion detail—if your devices need a specific voltage, you’ll still need the right sort of converter (or compatible device).
It also explicitly says it’s NOT for Italy or Switzerland. If your itinerary includes those countries, you may need a different adapter type or a more appropriate regional plug solution.
Finally, the adapter’s USB performance is specified via port limits and a total output of 3.4 A max. If you’re the sort of traveller who charges multiple power-hungry devices at the same time, you might find it keeps to “good enough” speed rather than consistently fast across all ports.

Is it worth it?
A solid pick if you want a UK to EU Type E/F Schuko travel adapter with multiple USB ports so you can charge several small devices from one plug socket. It makes sense if you travel fairly regularly and like keeping spares (the 2-pack helps here), or if you’re trying to travel lighter with fewer chargers.
It may not be the best match if your trip includes Italy or Switzerland, or if you’re relying on devices that need voltage conversion rather than just a physical plug change. Also, if your charging routine regularly involves several devices simultaneously and you expect consistently maximum charging speed on every port, you may find the 3.4 A total output a practical limit.
Mini FAQ
Does it work as a voltage converter?
No. The listing explicitly states it is not a voltage converter, so you must check your device and destination voltage compatibility.
Which countries is it suitable for?
The description lists it as suitable for most European countries, specifically mentioning France, Germany, Greece, Morocco, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Turkey, and the Netherlands. It also states it’s not for Italy or Switzerland.
How many USB ports does it have?
It provides 1 USB-C port and 3 USB-A ports.
Can I charge multiple devices at once?
Yes, it supports multiple ports, but the listing sets a total output of 3.4 A max, so charging speed may vary depending on how many devices are connected.
Is it safe for everyday travel use?
The product information mentions child safety shutters and fire-retardant material rated at 750°C, which are positive safety indicators on paper.
