A reasonable pick if your only need is running a curling iron or straightener in Europe, but check the 300W cap against your device first.

Overview
A 220V to 110V step-down converter from Mapambo rated for devices up to 300 watts, meant for running US curling irons, straighteners, electric toothbrushes and shavers on European continental power.
The 300W ceiling is the number that matters most here: it covers grooming tools but explicitly excludes hair dryers and irons, and the device is not built for the UK, Ireland or Scotland at all.
- 300W step-down capacity
- 2 AC outlets plus 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports
- Automatic disconnect protection, no fuse to replace
- Compact 4.9 x 2.9 x 1.3 inch size
Who it's for
Travelers heading to continental Europe who need to run a low to medium power US grooming tool, not anyone needing to power a hair dryer or traveling specifically to the UK or Ireland.
Pros and cons
- Converts 220V to 110V for most continental European countries
- Charges up to 6 devices via 2 AC outlets, 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports
- Automatic fault protection resets without replacing a fuse
- Compact at 4.9 x 2.9 x 1.3 inches
- Capped at 300W, so hair dryers and irons above that are excluded
- Not compatible with the UK, Ireland or Scotland
Performance notes
Rather than a replaceable fuse, the converter watches for faults and automatically cuts power while flashing its indicator light for three minutes, so a trip resets with a simple restart instead of a fuse swap. A cooling fan rated to 11,000 RPM is meant to keep it running quietly through the night.
