These are great if you’re overseas and renting a car. Easier and safer than many (cheap) wall-outlet converters I’ve tried. I use this while at home for sure, but it’s main function is charging stuff while in England.
It’s limited to 150 watts, so no hair drying. I got one of these in the last Woot-off. Although not mentioned or pictured anywhere on the box, there’s a USB outlet next to the 120v outlet.

Cool, now women can blow dry their hair while driving.

Keep in mind that this thing is only rated for 140W. I don’t think that I’ve seen a hair dryer under several hundred watts.
Also, from a few reviews for this product, it seems that the ground prong isn’t actually grounded. This is a problem with some devices. Mainly high power devices, and laptop computers.
