The auto recovery fuse is a nice idea if I ever saw one. I blew a MOGICS universal adapter fuse and never managed to recover from that. I got spare adapters but only at home. That sucked. But it's 7A. And the whole thing claims to be able to carry a load of 7A?? This greatly worries me: the adapter, unless my eyes deceive me, is a C7/C8 "figure 8" coupler which is standardized to carry 2.5A not 7A. Similarly, the EN 50075 "Europlug" plug is also 2.5A standardized. What's this nonsense about 7A? They claim they tested the coupler and you shouldn't use a C7-C8 cable but still, the Europlug is still not made for a 7A load.

Seems to me this adapter kills the Mu One dead if you have two USB C devices. While the Mu One is only 14mm thick you'd need a second also 14mm charger, and this, I presume it's as thick as the Bagel which is 30mm. Super neat. And, of course, if you have the brains NOT to plug in 7A worth of electricity then ... it's perfect?
lots of adapters claim to handle 1600w. (7a @ 220v)
