Travel Adapter - Asking for help please

[swimfin]

Hi!
Just so everyone knows, I am not super technical when it comes to electrical "language!" Soooo, given that, I am trying to figure out what I will need to charge our phones and camera battery (Cannon EOS Rebel T5) while in Copenhagen AND Iceland. (Iceland seems to be different than Europe ... is it like the UK?) Any help would be greatly appreciated! I have included many links to see if any of the below items would work. Thanks and Cheers!

I have one from Target that is universal and has a list of all the countries in which it works. It's small and lightweight (similar to the 4th one on the list). My mother has one closer to the 5th.

That said, I didn't read the reviews closely, but I'd go to the product website and see if the particular countries are mentioned.

Good luck!

THANK YOU! Trying to buy through Amazon as I have GCs from there I will definitely look at the product website! Cheers!

When we were in Denmark, we used these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007YL84VA/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 . I believe Iceland is also Euro C and F plug type (from quick googling) and would use the same. In some of the places in Scandinavia (I can't remember if Denmark was like this or just Norway or Sweden) the plugs are a bit recessed into the walls. Our larger adapters would not fit since you couldn't push them in enough. These ones worked great. I Denmark and Iceland 220V, so as long as your device is rated for that you just need the adapter. If your device has a max lower voltage, you'll need a converter. Most modern devices are rated to 240V (cell phones, computers, etc). I never needed a converter (plug converters are big and heavy and more expensive, so if you can avoid packing one along the better).

I did buy a USB hub to use with the adapters so I could charge multple devices in one outlet. It was one like this but had 4 usb plugs: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LWRKAR8/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Keep in mind, most hair dryers and curling irons from the US are not rated that high. But, the power converters also say to not use those with them (they blow the converter). It's best to just use the hair dryer provided in your hotel.

If you look at the chargers you currently have you will see a range such as 100-240v. If the larger number is 220 or greater it will work in Europe. All you need is a is a plug adapter such as https://www.amazon.com/Ceptics-Adap...995886&sr=1-13&keywords=european+plug+adapter

I recently purchased this one for our Norway\Iceland\Scotland Cruise: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019CMOG9C/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It is supposed to work in Great Britain, Iceland and Norway as well as many other locations.It also includes a Power bank\backup battery, that can be used to recharge small electrical items when it is not plugged in. We don't travel till June so I haven't been able to test it fully yet.
