Though it never states that it is not for international travel, I found the word in the title "Travel" to be misleading. This product is most certainly not compatible with higher overseas voltages and will fry. Perhaps a better title for this product would be "Portable" or "Compact".

Very compact and certainly easy to use.

Nice the others were on other side and end. Have bought these for wonderful gifts for the digital photography user or traveler.

This is to be used with a laptop, when out and about. If I am in an area that is designated WiFi with my laptop I will not be using more than one outlet. Will come in handy for those times. I like that it has surge protection with it.
